Story Behind The Song

My former musical partner turned out to be a complete jerk. After much verbal and mental abuse, I told him to get lost. This is my way of exorcising his bad vibe from my life.

Song Description

Walking around with no brain and no heart can get you into a lot of trouble - but mostly for the person who believes that this guy is their friend.

Mr. Smith of Nowhere ©2006 Bill Slater BMI

?I?m Mr. Smith of Nowhere?
? A prisoner of Devil?s Island

Have you ever seen the hollow men?
They whisper when they speak
Straw heads and hollow hearts
Watch ?em shuffle hear them creak
I never ever thought one day I?d find Someone who fit the part
Of a hollow man with a hollow head
And a hollow heart!

You're Mr Smith of Nowhere
No one remembers your name
You're Mr Smith of Nowhere
You don?t see life is a game
And it seems to most of the rest of us You?ve only yourself to blame
It?s just too bad that you don?t feel the same!

You smile but it can?t disguise
The shark?s teeth in their soul
All the things that you acquire
Could never fill that hole
Where your heart?s supposed to be Is blacker than the night
Can?t use what you used to abuse
And I say it serves you right!

You?re Mr Smith of Nowhere
It?s not funny but it?s true
You?re Smith of Nowhere
No kidding I mean you You?ve burnt every bridge you?ve built
And bitched about the pain
But if you?re in such misery
you?ve only yourself to blame!

INST

You?re Mr Smith of Nowhere
Won?t come in from out of the rain
You?re Mr Smith of Nowhere
You write a question mark for your name
And it seems to most of the rest of us You?ve only yourself to blame
It?s just too bad that you don?t feel the same!
