Poor Boy Box Of Frogs
Poor Boy Box of Frogs 1984
Three of the members of legendary band The Yardbirds got together in the early 1980s, with the idea of forming a new band “in the Yardbirds tradition”.
The trio re-teamed for the first time since the Yardbirds' mid-1968 dissolution to play a 1983 live date at the London Marquee, and the performance proved so successful that they soon founded Box of Frogs with vocalist John Fiddler, formerly of Medicine Head and British Lions. Fellow Yardbirds alum Jeff Beck guested on several tracks on the group's self-titled 1984 LP, with Jimmy Page appearing on the 1986 follow-up Strange Land. Box of Frogs disbanded soon after.
The Yardbirds launched the careers of many of the greatest musicians in rock history, including Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck, as well as forming the foundation for perhaps the greatest “classic rock” band in history, Led Zeppelin.
As this new Yardbirds-style band was attempting to record, various other Yardbirds members and friends kept “hopping in” to contribute, leading to the name of the band, the Box of Frogs. These extra amphibians included Page, Beck, Steve Hackett of Genesis, Rory Gallager, Graham Gouldman of 10cc, and others too numerous to mention here.
The band produced two respectable albums, including a hit with “Back Where I Started”, and a ground-breaking video for “Another Wasted Day”
Got a letter just the other day
From the man downtown
All my checks, they have flown away
And now my credit is blown
And I'm broke, I lost all my cash
I'm in deeper than the Wall Street crash
I'm sinking faster than a drowning man
Oh, shit, I gotta get my ass out of the can
Got the sheriff knocking on my door
(Oh, shit) Every single day
I don't need him to tell me that I'm poor
Why don't he just f-fade away
And I'm broke, I lost all my cash
I'm in deeper than the Wall Street crash
I'm sinking faster than a drowning man
Oh, shit, I gotta get my ass out of the can
'Cause I'm broke, I lost all my cash
I'm in deeper than the Wall Street crash
I'm sinking faster than a drowning man
Oh, shit, I gotta get my ass out of the can
House is empty, I got nothing to sell
Even the devil's took my soul
I'm just sitting on an empty box
I was rich, now what have I got? Nothing!
And I'm broke, I lost all my cash
I'm in deeper than the Wall Street crash
I'm sinking faster than a drowning man
Oh, shit, I gotta get my ass out of the can
'Cause I'm broke, I lost all my cash
I'm in deeper than the Wall Street crash
I'm sinking faster than a drowning man
Oh, shit, I gotta get my ass out of the can
