Lyrics > The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Bellbottoms

Writers: Spencer/Explosion
Published: Dirty Shirt, BMI
From: Orange + Experimental Remixes [2010] (2xCD, US)
Source: Pop Catastrophe
Notes: Text in RED is unconfirmed, there’s several layers of over-lapping vocals at the start of this song so all the ‘Go, Go, Go, Go’ and ‘Yeah, Ahhh’ lines might not be 100% accurate. The single version is approximately 60 seconds shorter and misses out a couple of “Blues Explosions” in the middle. Quite often during live sets the introduction of Bellbottoms is performed separately from the rest of the song and the 2010 reissue of Orange included the previously unreleased Bellbottoms (Original Long Ending) which is also played live.
