Beard & a Poncho

I started writing this song in around 2017 I think (I remember jamming out an early version at Folk Marathon Brno), and it was added to the set in 2018. My brother helped me out on a few of the lines in verse 2. It's based on real life interactions with people! Its one of the audience favourites, and one of our favourites too. I am yet to record a studio version, but I have released a live version (from the NYE concert in Ghent), and below you can see several live vidoes of the song.

Lyrics

Just because I've got a beard and a poncho,
everybody’s trying to sell me drugs
just because I like to wear multicoloured clothing
people ask me where they can buy some drugs
Just because I play the guitar
people get offended that I haven't got a light
sometimes I seem as high as the stars
I guess that it must be, brain chemistry
just because I wear an Andean jumper,
people don’t believe me that I don’t want any Green,
just because I look a bit like Che Guevara
people ask me the way to the Cuban Embassy

Each to their own, lalalala...

Just because I've got a beard and a poncho
everybody’s trying to sell me drugs
it happens almost every time I go outside at night
just because I've got long hair
people think its funny to call me Jesus
they see the sandals and they just can't help it
I guess that it must be, brain chemistry

Each to their own...

Just because I've got a beard and a poncho
everybody's trying to to sell me drugs
Just because I like to wear multicoloured trousers
people ask me if I sell LSD
Just because I'm wearing a rucksack,
strangers kindly ask me if I'd like something to eat,
I've never tried hallucinogenics
I guess that it must be, brain chemistry

Each to their own…
