Thank you Slaya.
It is something I guess we all aspire to become, I've been trying for nearly 50 years and still have'nt got there, but I will keep trying
Thanks again
Phill 
PS, this is not the finished version, if I can get it on myspace I'll post it again
if you find out how let me in on the secret...i'm just lost

I woke up this morning, it was cold damp and windy [and that was just the wife...joke?] so something made me remember this little poem[?] I wrote last year...hope you like it.
Early on a winters morn
And the moon's already gone
There's a crispness in the air
And there's ice upon the pond
At 6 o'clock the day begins
For some it's time to sleep
But far away, away in the east
Dawn light begins to break
A robin starts his chirping
Begins the chorus of the dawn
The post man turns his collar up
To cross the frosty lawn
And the grass beneath his feet will crunch
Like cornflakes in his mouth
He longs to feel the heat that comes
With summers warming month
And now as skies are lightening
And the mill of life returns
And traffic belching carbon fumes
Eyes water, chest burn
But this is how we live today
And for one hundred years
Will crispy winter mornings wake us
As we make our way to work.
hi roger
songs very rarely turn out the way they start off. women...cant live with them or without them. more complicated that trigonometry

great song, reminded me of my grandmother, she was strong and loving, and shop keepers in town quaked when she came in...phill
HI DADDY,
I LOVE OBSERVATION SONGS, SO WELL OBSERVED YOUNG MAN!
ONLY ONLY ONE THING THOUGH...THE CHORUS AFTER THE SECOND VERSE, SEEING AS IT'S A BIT SAD...MAYBE IT SHOULD READ "OH HOW SAD THEY MUST BE..." SEEING AS THEY GET DEAD?
ONLY A THOUGHT, I DONT WANT TO STICK MY NOSE IN WHERE IT'S NOT REQUIRED [AND YOU SHOULD SEE MY NOSE MATE, OR MAYBE NOT!!!] 
ANY WAY GREAT LITTLE DITTY
KEEP ROCKIN'
PHILL
hi daddy,
yes it definitely puts a different spin on it, but i've had a chance to work on the song now, changed the title to THE ROAD TO PARADISE, and a few lines etc, and i've got it starting in Gm-Dm- Eb- Cm, i use a capo of course, i've just finnished recording it, if only i could get it onto my space. i will post the final version when i've got a minute, hope you'll look at it again and tell me what you think?
phill
hey daddy... you been on the alcopops?
thanks for the comment, sorry we beat you in rugby the other day, must be our turn?
stay cool
phill 
in all honesty, i didnt understand the tabs or the replies...does that make me crazy? 
Does anyone else think that you sound like Aam Faith? He was a singer in the 50's and then turned actor in the 70's [that'll be the day?] good one keep the faith
phill

Phill

THIS ONE COULD BE ABOUT "THE AMERICAN GOLD RUSH" OR MABE ONE ON ANOTHER PLANET IN THE FUTURE SOMETIME, I DON'T KNOW, I ONLY WRITE THE WORDS DOWN AS THEY COME TO ME,
. I'VE GOT AN IDEA FORA TUNE, BUT I HAVE TO LEAVE FOR WORK NOW SO I'LL HAVE TO GET BACK TO IT ANOTHER TIME...OR YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN UP!!!!
HALFWAY TO HEAVEN ON THE ROAD TO PARADISE
HEAD FULL OF WHISKY AND SOME MONEY FOR A WIFE
LOOKING FOR A GAME WHERE MEN WILL BET THEIR VERY SOULS
MUST WIN A WOMAN TO HELP ME DIG FOR GOLD
HALF WAY TO HEAVEN ON THE ROAD TO PARADISE
WON ME A WOMAN WITH JUST ONE ROLL OF THE DICE
SHE CAME WITH BAGGAGE; TWO BOYS AND A GIRL
THEY'LL HELP WITH DIGGING AND PANNING FOR GOLD
[CHORUS]
IT'S A BRAND NEW AGE, AND A BRAND NEW WORLD
AND I MEAN A BRAND NEW WORLD
I'VE SEEN BROKEN MEN WITHOUT A HOPE
COME HOME AS MILLIONAIRES
AND ALL THE RICHES IN THE GROUND, CAN FALL INTO MY HAND...
SO ALL THE PEOPLE IN MY TOWN, WONT LAUGH AT ME AGAIN
THE ROAD TO PARADISE MEANDERS THROUGH THE STREETS OF HELL
NO TIME TO FALL IN LOVE, MY DEAR, FOR YOU MAY DIE AS WELL
SO MANY LONELY LADIES MADE THEIR WAY TO FIND A MAN
AND SELL THEY'RE SOUL FOR A BAG OF GOLD THAT COULD WELL BE SAND
[CHORUS]
WELL I CAN SEE THE ROAD BEFORE ME LEADS TO PARADISE
AND I WONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS OTHERS IN THE PAST
MY BACK IS STRONG WY WILL WONT BREAK
I'M HERE TO MAKE IT BIG
OR DIE AMONGST THE STONE AND DIRT, I MOVED ON MY DIG
[CHORUS]
{/SONG}
Hi guys,
thanks for the support, as things turn out, his brother relented and they left for Heathrow at 3o'clock after a lot of panicking and phoning, tickets,taxi's...you know? anyway he's gone and we're still talking, we would never have turned our backs on him really...his ex is another matter!
Phill
THANKS TO ALL,
LIKE THE PICKY DADDY COOL
IT'S....COOL!
I'VE GOT A STRAT TOO, 1972, IN WHITE...GEORGE HARRISON BANGLADESH CONCERT?
IT'S A LEFTY THOUGH
KEEP ROCKIN
PHILL
Thank you, it's nice to know that I'm not the only early bird, funnily enough I was thinking of you while I was writing it, not that way, but because of that beautiful Valentine song you wrote a couple of days ago.
In all honesty, this began as a kick in the pants for my 2nd son whose been going out with a very abusive and violent girl. We've been trying to get him to to Australia with his older brother [that's what "DONT MESS THIS UP" was about], but he did mess it up!, he got legless Sat night now his brother wont take him, and of course he went to see her that night and all hell broke lose again. Now my wife says he must choose us or her, bad move? It's done now, sorry to burden you with my troubles, on the up side, it's a gorgeous sunny day here too, and warm...is summer coming at last?
Lovely to hear from you
Phill
I was browsing through the forum this morning, and as I decided to go to the shop this song popped into me head, so I had to get it down right away , It's my attempt at a Valentines song?
and even though it's called LAY WITH ME, it's not about sex, [unless you want it to be that is?] Please let me know if it reminds you of something else too much.
OK THANKS, I'LL GIVE THAT A GO.
I'll probably cock it up though
Phill
Just had this idea while I was surfing
Hi Jets
Nice little number, I may be playing it differently to you, I played it laid back style on acoustic, just strumming, and your right; you can have a pig of a day, but why burden your better half with it, anyway you probably cant get a word in edge-ways with her telling you about the crap day she's had.
Keep `em sweet
Phill
This one is done in "12 bar boogie", it's one of those that I started with a title, then wrote a song around it, and I guess it's about "kinky footwear"?
start with the chorus
Hi Roger,
I'd forgotten about the tooth fairy, made a packet when i was 9..[don't tell my parents]
Shillings? you must be as old as me!
PS
I know you've done it so can you give me some hints on how i can post a recording on my space? i already have an account, but i cant find any facility for uploading a song.
keep up the good work
phill
you have a lovelly way with words, i'm welsh and i believe that king arthur was welsh too, so we have the lady of the lake, but we'll have to get into that another time
bye for now.
ps we call them fairies too, but i was trying to wax lyrical???
phill
yes your right, me man...ugg
she didnt realise that it wasnt there, mabe she was looking for the security i could offer but...
anyway got a gig to do
see you
phill
THIS IS A BLATANT ATTEMPT AT FOLK/ROCK MUSIC. I HAVE BEEN GREATLY INFLUENCED BY JETHRO TULL SINCE THE 70's.
I PLAY THIS WITH A CAPO ON THE 5th FRET, SO THE "F" IS A "C"SHAPE ETC. IT'S A WALTZ
I DONT REALLY BELIEVE IN "FAERIES".
