about
"Sweet Talker was written for the Grapevine Opry's 21st Anniversary when I was invited to perform at this event in 2008. The arrangement that ended up on CD was a challenge for a non 'country artist' like me, but worth the execute; emulation of slide/fuzz/picked guitar/fiddle on synth.
I also wanted to showcase the theremin without making it sound 'insipid’. Sweet Talker is American country meets Australian folk-rock!
This song is also featured on my solo debut album A Working Title - special edition." ~ Shueh-li

lyrics
[Verse] He brushed against me with cases in his hand
Said he was sorry while we waited for his band
Said I was an angel with dimples in my cheek
He was a little boy, not a man!
[Chorus] Sweet talker with a rotten rap sheet
Thanks to his mama he made it this far
Sweet talker, a misguided fact sheet
He knows which side to butter yet.
[Verse] He looked in my eyes through the top of his shades
Said I was precious, he'd quit smokes for my sake
But he was messing around, with one of my friends
He was a little boy, not a man!
Said he was sorry while we waited for his band
Said I was an angel with dimples in my cheek
He was a little boy, not a man!
[Chorus] Sweet talker with a rotten rap sheet
Thanks to his mama he made it this far
Sweet talker, a misguided fact sheet
He knows which side to butter yet.
[Verse] He looked in my eyes through the top of his shades
Said I was precious, he'd quit smokes for my sake
But he was messing around, with one of my friends
He was a little boy, not a man!
