Biografía:
Warren William Zevon, cantautor estadounidense de ascendencia judía, nacido en Chicago, Illinois el 24 de enero 1947 y fallecido en Los Ángeles, California el 7 de septiembre 2004.
Su particular punto de vista sobre la vida le hizo dar a sus canciones un tono oscuro y sórdido.
Tuvo una vida llena de altibajos, con constantes problemas en su vida personal (divorcios, alcoholismo, intentos de suicidio...) que se complementaban con un gran reconocimiento entre sus compañeros de profesión entre los que destacaban Bob Dylan

Porcelain Monkey (Warren Zevon)
Submitted by Daniel Green
Intro: Em Em Am Em / Em D (x2)
Em Am Em
He was an accident waiting to happen
Em D
Most accidents happen at home
Em Am Em
Maybe he should've gone out more often
Em D
Maybe he should've answered the phone
C D
Hip-shakin' shoutin' in gold lame'
C D
That's how he earned his regal sobriquet
C D
Then he threw it all away
Em Am Em
For a porcelain monkey
C D
He threw it away for a porcelain monkey
C D
Gave it all up for a figurine
C D
He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas
C D
And his face on velveteen
From a shotgun shack singing Pentecostal hymns
Through the wrought iron gates to the TV room
He had a little world, it was smaller than your hand
It's a rockabilly ride from the glitter to the gloom
Left behind by the latest trends
Eating fried chicken with his regicidal friends
That's how the story ends
With a porcelain monkey
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Intro)
Hip-shakin' shoutin' in gold lame'
That's how he earned his regal sobriquet
Then he threw it all away
For a porcelain monkey
He threw it away for a porcelain monkey
Gave it all up for a figurine
He traded it in for a night in Las Vegas
And his face on velveteen
