Stop Breakin' Down Blues
Nigel Watson; Peter Green Lyrics

Every time I'm walkin' down the streets
Some pretty mama stop breakin' down with me
Stop breakin' down, yes stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby
Ooh, it'll make you lose your mind

I can't walk the streets now, can't consulate my mind
Some no good woman she starts breakin' down
Stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby

Ooh, it'll make you lose your mind

Now, you Saturday night womens, you love to ape and clown
You won't do nothin' but tear a good man reputation down
Stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby
Ooh, it'll make you lose your mind

Now, I give my baby, now the 99 degree
She jumped up and throwed a pistol down on me
Stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down
Stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby
Ooh, it'll make you lose your mind

I can't start walkin' down the streets
But my pretty mama don't start breakin' down with me
Stop breakin' down, yeah stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby
Ooh, it'll make you lose your mind

Apparently, some (early? foreign?) releases of the album didn't include tracks 6 (Terraplane Blues) and 13 (Kind Hearted Woman Blues). So what you see and hear here is only fourteen tracks. Paul Rodgers vocals are on tracks 14 (I Believe I'll Dust My Broom) and 16 (Sweet Home Chicago), which corresponds to tracks 12 and 14 on the abbreviated release presented here. The thirteen tracks in Green's previous album, 'Hot Foot Powder,' are the companion piece to this, with both albums together covering all 29 of Johnson's recorded songs. Below is the full track listing for this album (times represent song length):

1. When You Got A Good Friend (Studio) 2:46
2. 32-20 Blues (Studio) 2:56
3. Phonograph Blues (Studio) 3:28
4. Last Fair Deal Gone Down (Studio) 2:46
5. Stop Breakin' Down Blues (Studio) 3:18
6. Terraplane Blues (Studio) 3:44
7. Walkin' Blues (Studio) 3:06
8. Love In Vain Blues (Studio) 4:48
9. Ramblin' On My Mind (Studio) 3:00
10. Stones In My Passway (Studio) 2:56
11. Me And The Devil Blues (Studio) 3:02
12. Honeymoon Blues (Studio) 2:32
13. Kind Hearted Woman Blues (Studio) 3:41
14. I Believe I'll Dust My Broom (Studio) 3:20
15. If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day (Studio) 3:41
16. Sweet Home Chicago (Studio) 4:15

Hi, it makes me think about clapton recent tries to formalize robert johnson style, but it's much better. I explain myself : clapton made some acoustic songs with a guitar duo, or some electric takes, but with organ etc. AND here are some full acoustic versions, with classy piano and stuff. I regret you don't sing with more passion, risking not to be tuned here or there. (sorry for my poor english boys)

Good point. Clapton tries to formalize Johnson’s songs. There’s bound to be a certain stiffness, a certain distance in that approach.

@Glen Gordon you cant believe everything you see or hear now, can you......just how did you" find out" that spirits cause bipolar disorder or schizophrenia? no im not gonna google it, dont trust googles opinions.

people should stop refering to "drugs" and name the substance they are talking about, as there are many different drugs with very different effects, and i seriously doubt evil spirits have anything to do with peoples psychological problems....my experiences with psychedelics have been ,in my opinion ,extremely positive, and they have shown me a lot about the nature of reality.....also , isnt it just good that peter is enjoying playing music again, it seems very mean spirited to compare his playing to what it was in 1970, especially if you know what he has been through, sounds great to me.

tommyau2006

cravinbob it can do both

cravinbob

No it cannot but drug use can compound the illnesses symptoms. If drug use caused it there would be a lot of cases but less than 1% of the population suffers from it. Drugs bringing on symptoms that would have been there soon enough, maybe.
Peter like many others with it lose touch with reality such as when he saw something on television about starving children. He told the band they should do something. That all agreed and Peter wanted the children to have sandwiches- he wanted the band to all get together and make sandwiches then deliver them!
It is also becoming known that like concussions in the NFL doing permanent brain damage to players, a fact the NFL tried to hide, PTSD in soldiers appears to be a similar outcome caused by bombs exploding and the concussion and volume of the blast is damaging certain parts of the brain.

They will always compare Peter to Eric. They were both God. I'm a Buddhist by the way.

For me Eric is good, but Peter was excellent. It's my personal opinion. Greetings Robert.

@Mic ~ Always welcome, of course. The rock group Foghat covered 'Terraplane Blues' on their first album 'Fool for the City,' and later also 'Sweet Home Chicago' on their album 'Stone Blue,' which was produced by Eddie Cramer, who also engineered and produced many Aerosmith albums, among other great artists. The band's name was adopted as a reference to smoking marijuana and the cloud of smoke enveloped around one's head. Many bands paid their dues to Robert Johnson, of course, but a little extra trivia for you. Also, always liked those two Robert Johnson covers by Foghat, so worth checking out for anyone not familiar with them already.

@wily wascal Thanks. This is some valuable information for those of us tracking down a more complete discography. Tricky things - discographies, never do they ever seem to be complete or completely accurate no matter the source. Much appreciated wily.
