![]() Harry Manx Live (2000) [ larger cover art ] |
You swore off vice and habit
Trying to save your face
Need some lovin girl know I have it
Just to decorate your place
Dog my cat
Can't you scratch that itch
Things were more simple
When we didn't have a stitch
Bring that thing oh back home
Bring that thing back home
Well lord I need forgiveness
For the methods I use
I believe I can overcome them well
Talking about the blues
These hard times
They sink you down just like a stone
But you don't stop praying oh lord no don't stop praying cause
You gonna make it home
Bring that thing back home
Bring that thing back home
Some folks tried and some folks failed
Living without love somehow
Well that might float you know but I kind of doubt it cause
It;s sure been fun up till now
I might be the one
I'm laying silver down in your hand
Whatever else I may or may not be
I swear I'll always be your man
Bring that thing back home
Bring that thing back home

| kojiroh (Istanbul, Turkey) | Posted: Jan 21, 2013 - 03:33 Love that bass in the background. It made me realize that the reason I don't like blues that much is the lack of bass. |
| bagpipe (Ottawa, Ontario) | Posted: Jan 16, 2013 - 10:01 Love Harry Manx. He's also great in concert - go see him if you get the chance. |

| Typesbad (Not quite Orange County CA) | Posted: Jun 01, 2011 - 11:06 I purchased a Harry Manx album after first hearing him on RP. Every song he does seems to be a combination of two other songs on the album, so there is not a lot of variety. But he has such a cool sound, I'm perfectly fine with that. |

| oso_negro (Nelson, BC) | Posted: Dec 21, 2010 - 07:07 Is it just me or do all of Harry Manx's songs sound the same? |
| Felix_The_Cat (Buenos Aires, Argentina) | Posted: Dec 01, 2010 - 15:30 There was a little sample from "my favourite things" on the guitar picking wasn't it? |
| Fi-Wi (De Bilt, the Netherlands) | Posted: Nov 24, 2010 - 11:03 Nice tune! I never heard of Harry Manx before but I'll do some research. |
| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: Aug 16, 2010 - 03:19 With the volume turned up a notch: 8 —> 10 |
| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: May 24, 2010 - 14:52 CLASSICAL "8"... |
| Ranchboy (Wine country somewhere on the planet) | Posted: May 17, 2010 - 11:34 This particular mix of this song is one that grabs my soul and refuses to let go. I believe in this case, it is the live element and unfortunately I can't find it anywhere. So Bill, where do we find this live version of Bring That Thing? |

| martinc (Ottawa Canada) | Posted: Nov 16, 2009 - 11:31 Never heard of Harry Manx before finding him here on RP. Was amazed as his list of awards especially from Canadian sources. Yet he was an unknown to me. Thanks again Bill. I am watching for tour dates around here. |

But I don't get the impression you're thinking about it very hard, so I won't bother to discuss it further with you. I get the impression he is saying: "this is a 9, end of discussion", or "this is so much a 9 that I don't want to hear your feeble dissenting arguments". |
