Eat the Rich
This Aerosmith song is from their 1993 album Get a Grip. It was co-written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, and as the title suggests, it tells you to “eat the rich”. It’s funny, as Aerosmith members were pretty rich by the time this album was released (it was their 11th! And the album saw number one in 2 countries!). Of course I am pretty sure Aerosmith members wouldn’t mind being (metaphorically) eaten up by their fans, despite how rich they got in time.

Sample Song Lyrics:

Eat the Rich: there’s only one thing they’re good for
Eat the Rich: take one bite now – come back for more
Eat the Rich: I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the Rich: take one bite now, spit out the rest

So I called up my headshrinker
And I told him what I’d done
Said you’d best go on a diet
Yeah I hope you have some fun
And a don’t go burst a bubble
On the rich folks who get rude
Cause you won’t get in no trouble
When you eats that kinda food
Now their smokin’ up the junk bonds
And then they go get stiff
And they’re dancin’ in the yacht club
With Muff and Uncle Biff
But there’s one good thing that happens
When you toss your pearls to swine
Their attitudes may taste like shi-t
But go real good with wine

Poor Boy Blues
Written by Poison band members, Poor Boy Blues is an entertaining rock number featured on their number 2 album Flesh & Blood (the band’s third album, released in 1990). Nothing about the song would give you the blues — it is very fun to dance to. And poor does mean poor. Now, the band members were indeed poor when they first started out. In fact, there was a time when they slept at a launderette, and the singer Bret Michaels was dumped for another musician who had more money and a car (oh, this turned into the number 1 hit Every Rose Has Its Thorn, featured on their second and best-selling album Open Up and Say Ahh!, released in 1988.) So I am guessing, they weren’t poor by the time their third album was in the works.

Sample Song Lyrics:

My daddy said
“Son, don’t you come to me cryin’
Cause money don’t make you a happy man”
He said the grass is always greener
Any place except where you stand

He said some are born to win
And some born to lose
And sing them poor boy blues

Watch out

I’ve lived uptown, downtown
Lord I’ve lived everywhere
Almost drowned in the puddle of my own sweat I swear
I believe it’s due time I get my mansion in ole Bel Air

Chorus:
But I’m still singin’ those poor boy blues
Poor boy blues
You don’t know how I’m feeling baby
Until you’re wearing my shoes
Sure as I’m standing here
I got them poor boy blues

If I Were a Carpenter

I might be in the minority, but I have always preferred Robert Plant’s solo work over Led Zeppelin’s. “If I Were a Carpenter” has a very interesting concept, as the singer asks his girl if she would love him, marry him and have his baby “if he were a carpenter, and she were a lady” . I don’t know about the real life carpenters (much), but I know that Harrison Ford would make a career out of it, had he not made it big as an actor. And I really don’t think he would have a problem finding a wife either way.
But Robert Plant is not a carpenter. He is a rocker. And we know how the fans are. Featured on the Robert Plant album Fate of Nations, released in 1993, the song was originally written and recorded by the late American folk singer/songwriter Tim Hardin. If you want the original Hardin version, you can check out his 1967 record Tim Hardin 2.

P.S: Rocker Plant was married, from 1969 to 1983. And he had 3 kids. Would the marriage have worked better if he were a carpenter?

Sample Song Lyrics:

If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made – following behind me?
Save my love through loneliness – save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness – give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
Answer me, babe: “yes I would – I’d put you above me”
If a miller were my trade, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colour box – your soft shoes shining
Save my love through loneliness – save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness – come give me your tomorrow
