Albert & The Swearengens - One Man's Edge Is Another Man's Straight Line

about

"Jackie is the largest of mother fucking cock sucking cock suckers I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. If you don't believe me ask yourself this, who puts out their own Goddamn mother fucking tribute album? A self cock sucker, that's who. However, a gentleman, above all, must brush aside petty differences and questions of character when the opportunity to pay homage to the immensity of artistic talents presents itself. Certain facts show on the mark, Jackie is a true fucking talent."
—Albert

Jackie and Albert first met when they made up two thirds of Dave Wooderson's backup band the Alright's. As time wore on, artistic differences led to an eventual break up of the band. To this day, Albert still claims that he, "taught that cock sucking, motherfucker everything he knows about the implementation of minor chords and pentatonic scales."

Albert choose "One Man's Edge is Another Man's Straight Line" because of contractual obligations.

LYRICS

Just cause it cuts you
That doesn't mean you bleed
Don't walk around your world
Looking for a reprieve
Take that burden off your shoulder
The noose around your neck

And you shall receive
What you give
And what you need
Turn your edge back into a straight line

Your shadow's seconds behind you
Running faster trying to make you slip
It's questioning direction
Laughing bolder, hoping to make it legit
Now you defeat it, you got your kingdom
Time to smile and realize it's worth the trip

And you shall receive
What you give
And what you need
Turn your edge back into a straight line
