I guessed that muttonheads meant wazzocks, a good northern word, meaning plonker, a good southern word! all of which means people that voted for brexit believing the lies that the muttonheads and cocktail shakers spouted at them.
still funny and enjoyable. or as the romans said; may the forts be with you.
Pretty powerful stuff there Peatle! Please remind me not to step on your corns...lol
Although a lot of your poem goes right over my head, I can guess who you're referring to when you mention cocktail shakers? Mutton heads not so much (I can't eat lamb anyway) and I get difficulty with the meaning of words more than three syllables! More lol!!!
All in all a very interesting and educational read....what a piece of writing, brilliant. Are you going to put it to music?
and not a double entendre in sight? lol. sounds like a lot of fun.

Phill,how about sending me a copy too
thanks
Yep, no probs, if it sounds as good out loud as it does in my mind it should be a cracker.
Hi Charlie, welcome to the forum. It's taken you 11 years to find us so don't be a stranger.
Hi Jim. I've just run through your song a couple of times....oh dear! I loved your words....but with the chords you put on it the rhythm and tune I gave it woosh!!! Fabuloso!!! I hope to get a few moments tomorrow to do a scratch recording which I'll send you if it's okay.
Many thanks UJB, great praise indeed. I was a little worried that the words might have been a little too deep or personal but judging by the response I needn't have worried.
Thanks Peatle and Neo, I will post it on SoundCloud if it's good enough. The back story is in the reply to TF. I may expand on it at a later date.
Quite a chilling story Phill can we learn more about this song please and hear a recording soon ?
It's the dark side of my mind, Grah
! Have a look at my reply to TF I think that explains my mindset at the time.
Thanks Brian. I've been quite busy writing new songs, but they don't reach the standard I want to project on Chordie.
Thanks Jim. I've started the recording but it will have to wait a few days till I can do the drums and vocals.
Very nicely done, Phill ... I especially like the metaphor about time being a cave, with no end in sight. This is probably the best description of hopeless despair I've ever read, and unfortunately it resonates within. The chord structure is very David Gilmour-ish.
I'd been listening to "wish you were here" and I'm afraid I might have stolen a bit? Namely the riff and some of the chord structure.
As usual with me the first line sparked off the rest of the words. I was trying to be poetic and paint verbal pictures....no that's coblers...I just tried to express the feelings I had when my first marriage fell apart, how she expected me to jump when she called and demanded money!
I think we've all been close to despair, I just wanted her to feel it, because she was the human (almost) of a bovine animal that chews grass and lives in a field.
Hi Jim. It was me, by the way. Any road up is a phrase I heard on TV on one of our rural soaps or even by George Formby, it's an exclamation as is "well I'll go to the back of our house!" It's nicer than swearing!
As for the song you've written, I have to say I love it. You've made the phrase your own by giving it another meaning. And I love the way the whole thing fits together.
I haven't posted a new song for ages so here's one I've just finished writing but not yet recorded.
tremendous wording and meter, gave me visions of every line i could almost taste the salt water, see the marine life and feel the sun on my skin. beautiful.
hits home hard. some really gritty northern sentiments there, eg: kick you in the goolies and say; " you should learn from that!" this falls neatly into the category of "streets of london" or "another day in paradise" you should be proud my friend.
the punters are the audience or people that "pay" for a show, or maybe don't pay to see the show? i used to be in a band that called them "jack'n'apes" a name i wasn't comfy with, but there you go...
Graham is so right as is the poem. It can be soul destroying playing to punters that just sit and talk loudly while your playing your heart out, giving it large and they don't even clap! I've just got to the point where I switch off and please myself. Usually at the end of the night the landlord comes up with a big smile and says "they loved you, when can you comeback?" What???
Any road up, great observation and writing. True life is a totally confusing thing.
I remember sometime ago the report that there was a big hole in the ozone layer above Australia, partly due to live stock partly due to alcohol "breath" passed by larger drinkers!
Great work Jeff. I like the way you've expanded Bill's one line then your first draught to an entertaining and humourous song.
It's great the way you've taken a bit of history and made it into a brilliant piece of music and song. Well done.
Nice recording, great song, great hook. I never feel like a super hero but I do seem to have acquired the title of "Grampa will fix it"
You call this a demo, do you plan a full band recording? I'd love to hear that.
Made me laugh especially the reference to the beans segment in Blazing Sadles! I got a little off topic on the last verse though???
Inspiration is the writers bread and butter. Well done Jeff. When I read Bill's tag lines absolutely nothing came to mind. All you need now is an equally great melody line.
a nice easy read which shows optimism for the future. are you going to work on it as a song? i think it would make a cracking rock ballad
