Artist picture
is punctuated by the moaning guitar work of blues guru Dave McGuire and driven by a hypnotic rhythm section comprised of some of Australia's best jazz/blues specialists. Add to the mix Lana's sometimes sweet, sometimes guttural vocal performance and the result is blues with both grit and sparkle.

Lyrics
Cry baby, cry baby look outside We all know what you’re tryin’ to hide Mommas been pushin’ you far too long And I wanna hear you sing a grown up song O Lord, a grown up song Cause it’s so damn easy when you sing your whole life long Thick legged, cold eyed, heart of stone What would you do if you were all alone You’re clingin’ so tight to that icy glare But that’s only cause you never gone nowhere O Lord, you gone nowhere Cause it’s so damn easy when you just get to sit and stare Walkin’ on a carpet soft and red Rolled out for you from far ahead Well I want you to be one who knows what it’s like to have gravel between your toes O Lord, between your toes Cause it’s so damn easy when the red red carpet flows Cry baby, cry baby soft and sweet You’re singin’ like an angel but you got no heat Skippin’ and dancin’ through the market place But someday the doors’ll swing back in your face O Lord, swing back in your face Then momma’ll have to come along And put you back into your place
