Eileen
Won't you lean on me (please)?
This is no life
Living here without you
This is no way
For me to get along, yeah
Now that I know
I'm no good without you
Eileen
How much I have
Baby when I have you?
I'm destitute this way, yeah
I'm doing time
Living here without you
Eileen
You know I'm coming clean, yeah
I guess no substitute will do, yeah
What do I do
Baby, to impress you?
Now that I'm blown
And thrown out the way
Eileen
You can lean on me
Baby I'm dead in a
Cruel world without you, yeah
Lean on me
Baby won't you lean on me
TrackTalk
I'm still finding things on that 5-string, like the little (pedal-steel-type) break in Eileen - you wouldn't even attempt it on... Yeah, there is a (B-)bender on there as well, but that's not the guitar that's playing that. I'm always aware of the weight I put with my thumb on the neck... Eileen was my first attempt with it, but there's about eight guitars on there overall.
