Gwyn Jnes and Bill White - A Singer, Not a Scenester

from State of the Heart 3 by Bill White and Friends

/

lyrics

I’m a singer, not a scenester
Do my show, then go to bed
Got another show tomorrow
Gotta keep a clear, cool head

Just a singer on the bandstand
Working hard and living clean
I’m a singer, not a scenester
Don’t have time to make that scene

I was never goth
I was never glam
I was never punk
That’s not who I am

But, I can sing country
Or an Irish air
Or popular standards
At a county fair

I’m a singer, not a scenester
Do my show, then go to bed
Got another show tomorrow
Gotta keep a clear, cool head

Just a singer on the bandstand
Working hard and living clean
I’m a singer, not a scenester
Don’t have time to make that scene

I always sing sober
Don’t need drugs or booze
Be it, rockabilly
Or rhythm ‘n blues

And if the crowd gets restless
And I sense red mist
I’ll get an upbeat chant going
And raise a right on fist

I’m a singer, not a scenester
Do my show, then go to bed
I’ve got another show tomorrow
Gotta keep a clear, cool head

Just a singer on the bandstand
Working hard and living clean
I’m a singer, not a scenester
Don’t have time to make that scene

I’ll play your wedding
Your shindig or show
Any celebration…
I’m good to go

I’m a singer, not a scenester
Do my show, then go to bed
Got another show tomorrow
Gotta keep a clear, cool head

Just a singer on the bandstand
Working hard and living clean
I’m a singer, not a scenester
Don’t have time to make the scene
