Billy Bragg ~ Hot Rod Hotel


I'm a porter and a night clerk at the old hot rod hotel I clean and scrub the lobby down and thirty one rooms as well I wax and shine their boots and shoes, i brush down their crinkeldy clothes I meet the buses and the trains and show you to your door Bell bottom pants brought two boys in at six fourteen last night Two girls checked in at ten otwo and i flipped on their light The lamrods wife looks in their doors and finds one terrible sight Those boys and girls got bawled up in their doors and rooms last night A bloody flood could never messed these rooms up any worse It looked like moe had used this room to grease and breed a horse Old gum and hairs and sticky rags, old bottles on the floors Gobs of spit and condom rubbers on the windows, walls and doors The lammy tried to make me clean up the crappy mess Or else he'd fire me off my job and let me starve to death I laid aside my polish rag and downed my dusting pan And i've not seen the old hot rod nor that old town since then Words: woody guthrie (1949) - music: billy bragg (1996) Jay bennett: farfisa organ, mandolin, electric guitar Billy bragg: acoustic guitar, vocals Ken coomer: drums John stirratt: electric bass Jeff tweedy: acoustic guitar more free lyrics

I'm a porter and a night clerk at the old hot rod hotel
I clean and scrub the lobby down and thirty one rooms as well
I wax and shine their boots and shoes, i brush down their crinkeldy clothes
I meet the buses and the trains and show you to your door

Bell bottom pants brought two boys in at six fourteen last night
Two girls checked in at ten otwo and i flipped on their light
The lamrods wife looks in their doors and finds one terrible sight
Those boys and girls got bawled up in their doors and rooms last night

A bloody flood could never messed these rooms up any worse
It looked like moe had used this room to grease and breed a horse
Old gum and hairs and sticky rags, old bottles on the floors
Gobs of spit and condom rubbers on the windows, walls and doors

The lammy tried to make me clean up the crappy mess
Or else he'd fire me off my job and let me starve to death
I laid aside my polish rag and downed my dusting pan
And i've not seen the old hot rod nor that old town since then

Words: woody guthrie (1949) - music: billy bragg (1996)

Jay bennett: farfisa organ, mandolin, electric guitar
Billy bragg: acoustic guitar, vocals
Ken coomer: drums
John stirratt: electric bass
Jeff tweedy: acoustic guitar

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
