John Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. Hiatt's songs were covered successfully by everyone from Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, and Dr. Feelgood to Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and the Neville Brothers, yet it took him 13 years to reach the charts himself. Of course, it nearly took him that long to find his own style. Hiatt began his solo career in 1974, and over the next decade he ran through a number of different styles from rock & roll to new wave pop before he finally settled on a rootsy fusion of rock & roll, country, blues, and folk with his 1987 album Bring the Family.

I’m Tired Of Your Stuff Lyrics
John Hiatt
You been slippin around a bit
You been sayin things that just dont fit
You been handin me the same old line
About the proper place and the proper time
You been tellin me a bunch of lies
I bet you thot that I was hypnotized
Chorus:
Well, my eyes is wide open, and I can see
You been tryin to make a fool of me
Im gettin sick, Ive had enough
Im tired of your stuff
I know you think that youre a movie queen
Well, Im fed up with all your hollywood dreams
Youre just an actress full of double talk
An angels smile and a devils walk
I know you think I cant walk out the door
But honey, Ive seen this movie before
Chorus
Now Im tryin to get some sleep, but I cant get no rest
You got my head all in a mess
Id count the sheep, but they all leavin town
And youre the wolf that run my dreams around
But, Ill be sleepin for a month or two
Just as soon as I get rid of you
Chorus
