I'd forgotten about it till I was speaking to a friend then I ran and switched the PC on and it downloaded straight away and that's what I'm using now only 4 hours after switching on. Still a bit confused but I guess I'll get there. Why isnt there a clock?

Game set and match. The twist in the tail got me there. Well done I likes it. BTW it's a well known fact that tennis players have soft balls 😂

It happens to me most of the time! I usually get great lines while I'm in the shower or bed. Funny how those are the best ones you've written if only you'd actually written them down?

I started taking a pen and pad to bed but the wife complained about the light coming on all the time and waking her up😴

Now I just write them down when I remember, which is why I have a backlog or my songs sound so disjointed. Never mind it's better to have a load that you can pick the best bits from 😇

so sorry to hear of your troubles. i cant imagine any of that happening to any of my kids. my thoughts and best wishes are with you and your son.

phill and ann.

only if it was really bad.

i cried the first time i sang "honey" i was reading the words as i sang it and decided not to sing it again...good plan.

i didn't want to read the link before adding my 5 pennorth. i bought the 25th anniversary CD last year and it's near the top of my play list and i cant understand why i didn't buy it at the time. i must say though that each time i listen to it, visions of him jamming with those great musicians and using their performances and claiming the writing plaudits does rankle. but once i get past that i can settle back and enjoy some of the best music of my generation.

i've read stories of lennon getting stuck for a word or line and whoever happened to be there chipping in with something but never getting so much as a nod. i guess all writers pinch stuff from others, some get away with it, some don't...eg george harrison and "my sweet lord"

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
