ボタンフライ・ブルース I❤501 #ジーンズ補完計画
High-energy blues-rock in the style of late 1960s British blues bands, with the same speed, groove, and fiery energy as “Crossroads,” but with original melodies and riffs. Fast shuffle rhythm in A major, driving bass line, punchy snare, and overdriven lead guitar trading licks with raw Delta-style slide guitar on a resonator. Urgent and swaggering Female vocal, following the AAB blues lyric pattern. Story of a man who loves his button-fly jeans, defending them against zipper lovers, boasting that he can open them fast in a “V” when in a hurry, and closing them slowly during “wise man’s time” after romance. Vivid imagery of his lover walking far away into the sunset as he calmly fastens each button. Playful, confident, and electrifying.

Lyrics
Button Fly Blues
(Verse 1)
Walkin’ through the morning town, zipper sounds all around
Walkin’ through the morning town, zipper sounds all around
But my five-o-one’s got buttons, and they’re smilin’ proud
(Verse 2)
When I’m in a rush, I open in a V
When I’m in a rush, I open in a V
Cool breeze slips inside and wraps around me
(Verse 3)
My friend says, “That’s trouble,” but he just can’t see
My friend says, “That’s trouble,” but he just can’t see
The taste of time between each button’s mystery
(Verse 4)
Closing them slowly, that’s the wise man’s way
Closing them slowly, that’s the wise man’s way
Closing as I wait for her, a mile away
(Verse 5)
Faded lines are my travelin’ map
Faded lines are my travelin’ map
This blue and these wrinkles tell my life, that’s a fact
(Verse 6)
’Cause with these buttons, I’m still who I am
’Cause with these buttons, I’m still who I am
Walking side by side with my five-o-one, hand in hand
(End)
（Verse 1）
朝の街を歩く ジッパーの音が響く
朝の街を歩く ジッパーの音が響く
だけど俺の501 ボタンが笑ってる
（Verse 2）
急ぐときゃ一気に V字で開くんだ
急ぐときゃ一気に V字で開くんだ
そよ風が入って 俺を抱きしめる
（Verse 3）
友は言う「不便だ」でもそれは見えてない
友は言う「不便だ」でもそれは見えてない
ボタンの間にある "時の味"知らない
（Verse 4）
閉める時間はゆっくり それが賢者の時
閉める時間はゆっくり それが賢者の時
5m上のあの娘 待ちながら閉じる
（Verse 5）
色落ちの線は 俺の旅の地図
色落ちの線は 俺の旅の地図
この青とシワが 俺の人生さ！
（Verse 6）
ボタンがあるから 俺は俺でいられる
ボタンがあるから 俺は俺でいられる
501と歩く 同じ速さで
（End）
