about

“Flim-Flam Man” was the second of two tunes I wrote to get thru the traumatic loss of my childhood home to the coal mine. This was mostly a healthy way of channeling a lot of anger toward a situation that ultimately resulted in a healthy move and a happy future. Songs are songs, and while I don’t expect to write another song purely in a state of anger anytime soon, I do think this is a strong track on its own and it has a place here. It’s a bit of therapy.

lyrics

The Flim-Flam Man (Beabout)

Early mornin’ ringing in my ears
gutless goon praying on my fears.
He steals from the dirt,
make your home to sink
And you better watch out for the Flim-Flam Man

SCUMBAG SCUMBAG
SCUMBAG SCUMBAG

He tells the truth as a last defense,
You can tell his lies by the flapping of his lips
A different man when he’s out of reach
Cuz you might bust the chops of the Flim-Flam man

SCUMBAG SCUMBAG
SCUMBAG SCUMBAG

A loathsome tool from DOWN BELOW
Mark my word, he’s-comin for you
Brings Mother Earth right down to her knees
Cuz the Coal Man do whatever he please

MAN AAAH
FLIM-FLAM

MAN AAAH
FLIM-FLAM
OWWWW
