TF waxing lyrical! you transported me to that place with those words, i could feel the gentle rain on my face as i was reading. i suppose i could imagine this to music, but would it spoil the vision? it would have to be a great tune to do it justice.

i think he may have a point. last night i played a gig in pembroke and there was a young lady there that was displaying a rather nice sitting down compartment (trying not offend amy here!) and every time i played a bit of rock she rolled that thing about just like....well, a nice butt being rolled around.

the clip was very funny. i thought i saw a bra being thrown roll!

I enjoyed it. Nothing wrong with sounding a "bit poppy" every now and again. It is short for popular after all. smile

Yes I am. The pianist is my granddaughter Darcie. The bare bun is female and comes from the north of England. And about as erotic as a pigs buttock. Thanks for the like.  Phill

I agree with Beestie - WTF  were we thinking ?  No wonder some one came up with LSD ! smile

i think LSD came first?

i never wore satin but my flares were quite revealing, but i still managed 4 kids. and i needed them tight when i performed this song, still do sometimes.

great pastiche jim, you have a wicked mind, reminds me of someone....me?

Tails, what Phill is trying to say, is that he's really an alien, but he can't just come right out and say it because people wouldn't understand.

people don't get it

they don't get who i am

they don't see what's before them

they couldn't give a damn

there's a whole world out there

and beyond that the stars

are there aliens here now

driving our cars?


people don't get it

don't know if they should

don't know if they'd get it

even if they could

there's a line on the floor

that they wont step across

and they still don't get it

well, my dear....that's their loss

You are the reason I never succeeded.

What meaning or meanings do you intend for that line?

in my interpretation what he's saying is; if i had succeeded i'd have nothing to strive for and you give me the reason to strive. i may be wrong

rugby is a great game, much preferable to soccer. but i have to point out at this point that there are 2 disciplines of the sport, 1 union and 2 league. both games are played by countries that have been playing the sport since noah was a pigeon fancier eg: all four countries of the UK, france, south africa, australia, canada and the no1 new zealand.

if your into sevens then you should catch up with the hong kong 7s. 7s are a more demanding game than the full game. and league is more demanding and rougher than union but not by much.

sorry to hear about your sons knee TF. it's a sport (unlike soccer, i use the US name) where all the violence is on the pitch not in the stands.

here in europe we have our annual internationals; wales, ireland, scotland, england, france and italy. when they come to town it's party time and there is very little violence as rugby fans may support their own side but still appreciate a good opposing team.

so enjoy

I also thought as I was reading that it was about a song or even some bad reaction from Chordie. Glad it's not for the negative part. All your songs are of a very high standard and this one is no exception. Great work.

And best wishes and congrats to your niece.

Hi jandle.

Welcome to Chordie. We get a lot of songs about birds on here, not so many about the feathered variety. Nice song well constructed. Have a read of the sticky at the top to see how to work the chopro programming. There's plenty of help from members if you get stuck too.

Thanks for you replies, I don't have the faintest where they come from, all I can say is when a line comes into my head I write it down till another line may interact with it, then another etc till nothing else comes to mind.

As for the chords if I have a tune in my head I'll find the notes then search for the corresponding chord.

I was rather surprised myself when C diminished and F# dim turned out to be the same, not being that deep into the tech of music. I actually play the C dim on the 8th frett and C dim as the window shows.

I must admit it took a swerve from where I thought it was heading too. I don't start songs with a plan so they go where they will.

i will record it hopefully in the next week or so, it's in waltz time if you'd like to try it. isnt it funny how songs start out as one thing and end-up as another. i wrote the first verse last week and the rest tonight. they werent meant to be one song but hey ho. i'd like to put a bridge in somewhere. maybe tomorrow?
