about

An impassioned plea at the intersection of love and politics. I don't want to be president ... but if you want a good man elect me!

lyrics

Now I don’t wanna be president
I don’t need all that responsibility
But I’m ready to serve you - prove I deserve you
If you want a good man elect me
I’ll do what I say and I won’t betray you
And to power I plan to speak truth
I’ll preserve and protect you and never neglect you
I’ll work day and night to please you

I don’t wanna be senator
I aint never been no good at wheeling and dealing
Can’t deal with the bluster of a filibuster
But baby I got the feeling
If you make me the minister of urban affairs
I promise to take you to town
And if you elect me to be your man
You won’t ever have to worry bout gettin’ down

Now you won’t find me on the campaign trail
Currying favor with the party elite
But if you appoint me to your kitchen cabinet
I promise that I’ll take the heat –
I’ll take any position in your coalition
As long as I can work by your side
And when it comes to strategy I got a plan
I'm gonna keep you satisfied.

about

Katvanger Netherlands

Katvanger is a blues-tinged trio that defies description with a mix of originals that cannot be easily pigeonholed. Some might call it roots or Americana, but in fact, Katvanger’s idiosyncratic eclecticism defies description. With a conspiratorial wink, they’ve often described it as dubious blues, twisted roots, counterfeit country & western, and improbable jazz. ... more
