about

A blues, dedicated to my wife Rachel. An acknowledgement that love is not all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Instead, it is more like a bowl of chicken soup, warm, comforting and delicious.

lyrics

Chicken Soup

I grew up a Loaded lad
Thought love would just be a series of one night stands
Sex, drugs, rock and roll, yeah, just like the ads
Well I had a bit of that and it made me so sad
It made me so sad

I had a girl, I didn't treat her so well
I used her love for all the things I was trying to sell
All her friends told me I would go straight to hell
Well hell came to me, this is where I dwell
All her friends told me I would go to hell
Well hell came to me, this is where I dwell

Chicken soup, for the soul
Chicken soup, til the day we grow old
Chicken soup, girl, coz I love your bones
I'd rather be a chicken than a rooster so bold

Chicken soup, chicken soup
Chicken soup, til the day we grow old
Chicken soup, chicken soup
Chicken soup, girl, coz I love your bones

I'm making chicken soup for you honey
So drink it up
Chicken soup

Love is forgiveness, love is friendship in need
Maybe not a piece of cake, but a hot cup of tea
Love is all about you and not about me
Lately, these days, I've been starting to see

Love is a smoochy kiss or a pat on the arm
Love is a visit to the cows at the farm
Love is keeping each other safe from all kinds of harm
Yeah love is soothing, and love is calm

Chicken soup, for the soul
Chicken soup, til the day we grow old
Chicken soup, girl, coz I love your bones
I'd rather be a chicken than a rooster so bold

Chicken soup, for the soul
Chicken soup, til the day we grow old
Chicken soup, coz I love your bones
I'd rather be a chicken than a rooster so bold

Chicken soup
Chicken soup, til the day we grow old
Chicken soup, chicken soup
Chicken soup, coz I love your bones

I'm making chicken soup for you honey
So drink it up
Chicken soup, honey
In a chicken soup cup

It's chicken soup
Chicken soup
Chicken soup for the soul
Chicken soup til the day we grow old

I'd rather be a chicken than a rooster so bold
