From the album The Very best Of Dark Horse 1976-89. “Bust my back again on the Levy – broke my strings on the BBC Identified my chops on Eel Pie Island – paid my dues at the Marquee Slagged off by the NME – lost my stash and my virginity In this Cockamamie Company Acquired my experience on Ed Sullivan – broke my heart on the Soul Train Launched to Undesirable Company – misplaced cells down at Brain Drain And before I could mend – lost the missus, missed the girlfriend In this Cockamamie Enterprise Now we like to air situation – though the air has no ozone ring Even now they are chopping down the forest for McDonalds and the Burger King Consuming cows with these kinds of persistance – isn’t going to give a lot resistance To this Cockamamie Organization There are as well many things – stressing out the nervous technique Girls you utilized to know – fellas that may possibly have kissed’em Some acquired rabies – Some obtained fleas – some acquired incurable illnesses From this Cockamamie Business Everybody’s following as several factors as they can get As extended as it really is not them that has to pay No one really minds the Credit card debt 5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors With their Cockamamie Organization Properly you do what you can – are not able to do a lot much more than that (No you are not able to do what he just stated) Some days you might be quite sharp – on other days you experience half dead (Even though you make your daily bread) Did not want to be a star – needed just to play guitar In this Cockamamie Business”.

“…Girls ya used to know, and fellas that may have kissed ‘em / Some got rabies, some got fleas, some got incurable diseases / From this cockamamie business!” LMAO!!!! So true!!
Happy Bithday George ^.^
He’s one guy that i wished had made many more albums…
Love this song !!!!!
Love it !!!!
harrison certainly created a distinctive guitar sound-clever lyrics, Harrison was underrated as a songwriter for sure. I like the stark honesty about the music business in this song.

I don’t watch True Blood, but I do hear the similarities between the two (this and opening song). Howard needs to listen again. This is a great song. Can’t find it on ITUNES though as a single. I already have Harrisoons latest Best of. but this is not on it.
Sounds like someone listens to Howard.
Sounds like the beginning to “True Blood.”
“Ringo” fans….
In honor of Ringo’s 70th, I hope U will check out my “RINGO”video. It’s very retro with Beatleish touches & was done as a labor of love and with the utmost respect for the Fabs. My attempt at putting a little bit of the Beatle spirit out there for Beatle fans. It’s also my tribute to George Harrison’s slide playing as well as Ringo’s unique style.
Peace,
Vinnie Zummo, former Joe Jackson guitarist
One of my all-time favorite Harrison songs! “Didn’t wanna be a star, wanted just to play guitar…in this cockamamie business!!!”, that’s the best line in the song
It’s obvious that Lennon had so much influence on George when he wrote this song.
Esta canción es increible, de las mejores.
Man, George really loves those mid-tempo songs. Him and Tom Petty.
where do you download this song?
The best song ever. I could play it over, and over, and over. Pure talent. Your sadly missed.
un grande…c’è poco da fare..se solo i Beatles lo avessero valorizzato un pò di piùù….
Haha, so much political slashing. I like it. (:
