The guitarist (Bruce Moreland, I think) now plays in acclaimed Pretty & Twisted, with Johnette Napolitano (of Concrete Blonde fame). Stan Ridgway, singer/songwriter extraordinaire, is an accomplished solo artist and has a new band called Drywall. Check out their new album, I forgot the name, but I hear it's reminiscent of Wall of Voodoo. This song is an A-side from "Call of the West", on IRS records, released 1980-something. It is on the same album with their smash hit, "Mexican Radio". The guitar should be played with sharp, heavy distortion over a drum-machine sounding rhythm. Listen to the song, the beat is quite simple. (I haven't played this in a while, so I don't remember the exact key, but the progression can be transposed to any key, I suppose). Strum eighth notes, medium tempo: B B B B B B B B | G G G G G G G G | A A A A A A A A | A A A A A A A A | I used to belong Now I don't belong It's not the same song...Anymore We used to play games We used to trade names But we don't play games...Anymore Cause' they don't want me They used to want me But they don't want me...Anymore Chorus:
