about

Tavern folk and revelry. The story of this poor drunk, who has no money left for another drink, shows us that for Luback this whole trip has been above all fun and enjoyable. With Johnny Cash soaking up every chord, we are happy to announce that there is a happy ending: in the last verse, the protagonist discovers that he's holding a full glass in hand. Heartwarming, huh?

lyrics

EMPTY POCKET

I wish I could have one more whisky,
I wish I had a dime.
I wish I could have one more whisky,
I wish I had a dime.
I wish I hadn’t drunk my money so so fast.
I wish I could have one more whisky,
I wish I had a dime…
But here I am, my pocket’s empty
and my spirit’s dry.

I wish I had a real friend
by my side.
I wish I had a real friend
by my side.
You know, I’m looking for affection,
I could use a hug…
I wish I had a real friend
by my side.
Will you gimme some lovin?
What about ten bucks?

Well, now I’m talking to the owner
of this fancy bar.
Well, now I’m talking to the owner
of this fancy bar.
You know it’s good for you
to keep the good ones inside.
Well, now I’m talking to the owner
of this fancy bar.
So if the next one’s on you
you’re doin’ it right.

I’ve got a new drink in my hand.
Look at my smile!
I’ve got a new drink in my hand.
Look at my smile!
I don’t remember if it was a friend
or someone from behind the bar
but I’ve got a drink.
Look at my smile!
So this song’s fulfilled it’s purpose
(that’s for sure)
and I’m dry no more.

LUBACK Madrid, Spain

Established in 2011, LUBACK has encompassed rock, blues and folk into a unique style. After many concerts and their first album (“Inminente”, 2014, written in Spanish), a new language was needed in order to talk about those things that matter most in our lives (“Relative keys for vital subjects”, 2016). Their last record (“The deal”, 2019) shows their growth towards a pure organic bright style. ... more
