Blue Suede Static
Jazz-rock fusion with a swaggering mid-tempo groove, swung drum pocket, dirty guitar skanks, upright bass pulses, and a moody sax answer line. Verse rides sparse rim clicks and bass; pre-chorus strips to handclaps and brushed snare; chorus hits with big toms, crunchy guitars, and horn stabs. Male vocals close-mic’d in verses, gritty doubled hooks, short delay throws on key words, ad-lib sax fills, tape hiss risers, and a bright punchy mix with smoky low end., rock, male vocals, jazz

Lyrics
Verse 1
I got a blue suede jacket
and a busted Metro card
Your name still on my collar
like a stain that won’t depart
I tried to play it cool, baby
with my shoes kicked to the wall
But every time you walk in
I forget my lines, that’s all
Pre-Chorus
Say it slow
Don’t let go
You got me swayin’
One more look
One more shot
Now I’m leaning
Chorus
Blue suede static
Blue suede static
You cut right through me
Blue suede static
Blue suede static
Don’t make me choose to leave
(Blue suede static)
(Blue suede static)
Verse 2
We were laughing in the back room
with the ice gone soft in my glass
Your hand on my shoulder
made a bad night turn to class
I can taste that cheap champagne
when you tilt your chin and grin
I’m a grown man, baby
still I fold when you come in
Pre-Chorus
Say it low
Make it close
I’m already falling
One more word
One more step
And I’m answering
Chorus
Blue suede static
Blue suede static
You cut right through me
Blue suede static
Blue suede static
Don’t make me choose to leave
(Blue suede static)
(Blue suede static)
Bridge
Half-time
If I stay, I’m all in
If I go, I’m half a man
Sax line crying in the corner
while I try to understand
You know I’m bad at goodbye
and I’m worse when you stare
So take my heart for the evening
then leave it on the stairs
Final Chorus
Blue suede static
Blue suede static
You cut right through me
Blue suede static
Blue suede static
Don’t make me choose to leave
Blue suede static
Blue suede static
I’m gone the second you breathe
(Blue suede static)
(Blue suede static)
