'With a Blue Moon in Your Eyes' Painting

You woke up this morning, got yourself a gun Mama always said you'd be the chosen one She said, "You're one in a million, you've got to burn to shine But you were born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes" You woke up this morning, all the love has gone Your papa never told you about right and wrong But you're looking good, baby, I believe you're feeling fine (Shame about it) Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes You woke up this morning, the world turned upside down Thing's ain't been the same since the blues walked into town But you're one in a million, you've got that shotgun shine Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes When you woke up this morning everything you had was gone By half past ten your head was going ding-dong Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes Like a voice telling you there was something you should know Last night you were flying but today you're so low Ain't it times like these that make you wonder if you'll ever know The meaning of things as they appear to the others Wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you didn't think Beyond the next paycheck and the next little drink Well, you do so make up your mind to go on 'Cos when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone When you woke up this morning, when you woke up this morning When you woke up this morning, mama said you'd be the chosen one When you woke up this morning, when you woke up this morning When you woke up this morning, you got yourself a gun ‘Woke Up This Morning (The Sopranos Mix)’ by Alabama 3 Songwriters: Burnett Chester / Marsh Piers Watson / Spragg Robert Alun / Black John / Edwards Simon "Woke Up This Morning" is a song by British band Alabama 3 from their 1997 album Exile on Coldharbour Lane. The song is best known as the opening theme music for The Sopranos, which used a shortened version of the "Chosen One Mix" of the song. Described as "a propulsive hip-hop song complete with Howlin' Wolf samples and a swelling gospel choir", the song has been cited as a paradigmatic example of a "great theme song", which "generates anticipation, immediately puts the viewer in a focused frame of mind, and creates the kind of sonic familiarity that breeds audience loyalty." Alabama 3 frontman Rob Spragg wrote the song after hearing about the 1996 Sara Thornton murder case, who stabbed her husband after two years of abuse, mistreatment and neglect. The song is co-written with Piers Marsh, Simon Edwards and Jake Black. "We started with a Howlin' Wolf loop, but a lot of blues lyrics are quite misogynist," Spragg explained. "So I turned it round to be about a woman who's had enough and gets a gun – it's quite ironic that it's become a New Jersey gangster anthem." Exile on Coldharbour Lane is the debut album by Alabama 3, released on 11 November 1997 on One Little Indian and Geffen. The name and cover are references to Exile on Main St. by The Rolling Stones and Coldharbour Lane a major street in Brixton, South London best known for containing several after-hours clubs and not a few drug dealers. Recording sessions took place from March to June 1997. Upon its release, the album received favorable reviews, including an 8.9 review from Pitchfork Media. Exile on Coldharbour Lane did not chart on any album charts in the United States. The song "Sister Rosetta" was featured in the film "Barnyard". "Woke Up This Morning" is best known as the opening theme music for the television series, The Sopranos, which used the "Chosen One Mix" of that song. Alabama 3 are an English musical group founded in Brixton, London in 1995. They are best known for their track "Woke Up This Morning", which was used for the opening credits of the TV series The Sopranos.
