Danny Michel is a singer-songwriter based just outside Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Born in 1970 and raised in Kitchener, Ontario , he began his professional career playing with the Rhinos before beginning a solo career. In the late 1990s, he moved to Ottawa, where he developed a loyal following with a weekly show at the Manx Pub on Elgin St. In his live shows, he often uses looped live samples of his guitar and other instruments to create a richly layered solo performance. While at the Manx he often entertained with cover versions of songs by some of his favourite artists, including David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and the Rheostatics.

Old Tattoo Lyrics

Danny Michel

I don't wanna be your fool.
Treat me like a clown,
kick me when I'm down.
How could you be so cruel?
All those words you said,
are gonna never leave my head.
And you know just what to say,
to take my wind away.
And you know just what to do,
to break my heart in two.
I might as well be see-through.
Cause I'm standing here in flames,
as good as old Claude Raines.
I feel like an old tattoo,
of something you once believed,
now you hide under your sleeve.
And you know just what to say,
to take my wind away.
And you know just what to do,
to break my heart in two.
We've seen better days, the skies ahead look gray.
Maybe it's ok, if only we could say:
Goodbye to sorrow, look to tomorrow.
And you know just what to say,
to take my wind away.
And you know just what to do,
to break my heart in two.
