thanks Peatle. yes we nice guys also get pooped on from a great height by user women. i must add at this point that not all women are included in that statement, my Ann for one, though her predecessor might well qualify. i enjoyed the writing and recording of this song. thanks again.
Jandle. i was and still am suffering with a throat and chest problem and i think my voice is quite hoarse on the recording having had to stop while i coughed uncontrollably. glad you liked it. thanks for the listen
Thanks Jim, I'm a little surprised that no one has picked up on the Monopoly reference.
I think both of our songs have more or less the same theme; a whimpy guy chasing a manipulating woman?
I'm hoping to give your song a try tonight if time allows.
Phill
Yes!
I call slow, draggie songs suicide fodder. One or two slow tracks on a CD or live show is ok but not for the whole thing! Which is why the Snow Patrol CD I bought a few years back has only been played once...no hum
That's not a problem Jeff, I was wondering what was lurking beneath the Bm...lol. For some reason I still can't get Chopro to format correctly, so thanks for that.
Also, big thanks for the critique.
the actual "full" title is "some girls are hard to impress" but i've cut the title down not to confuse things with Jim's song of the same name.
find it here on soundcloud..

It's a two-person piece of playground equipment ... you may have a different name for it in the UK
In the UK we call it a see saw, as in I saw Esore sitting on a see saw...
pride is a sin....but i don't feel the least bit sinful for feeling the pride and happiness i'm experiencing thanks to you and Dondra and of course Julian.
Many congratulations on Julian and Sara's engagement. it seems your happiness and joy is boundless after the rotten times you've had of late. soak it up my friend and lets hope the joy continues for you and yours.
i don't have a clue what a "Teeter-totter" is?
love from Phill and Ann xxx
Hi Julian, I sent your granddad an email wishing you the very best for your future academically and musically. come and join us here on Chordie when you find some time.
All the best from Phill&Ann from Wales.
hi Jim. yeah, i had the same idea, that title really works and i thought i'd like to immortalise it in song too! i haven't quite finished it yet, and i might not having read yours, which is great as usual. you got the tag line worked nicely in, which i'm failing at, at the moment. knowing you there's a recording coming soon?
that bird was really funny....shame about the singing!
in my primary school days back in the 50's we used to sing most days, especially at going home time. as it was a Welsh school we'd sing in Welsh. also at secondary school we had music classes as part of the curriculum, mainly singing (again in Welsh) and learning music notation, which i paid little attention to. when i got to 15 a classmate brought his guitar in to school and i noticed the attention he got form the opposite sex, so when he put his guitar up for sale i bought it. it lasted about a week before i over tightened the strings and broke it. i used to dream of being a singer but was kicked off the school choir for singing out of tune! no-one complains that much anymore, and subsequent better guitars that i learned to tune properly, helped me to sing in tune....most of the time.
lovely song Jim. most people would like to be able to say those things which makes it a very personal song for whoever sings it, unfortunately it wont be me as i seem to have developed some kind of throat and chest infection. hope someone can do it credit.
on "the old grey whistle test"...a rock show in the UK during the 70's.
the bassist was John Illsley who was there from start to finish. they later changed drummer to a guy called Terry Williams (no relative) who happened to come from Swansea which is about 9 miles from here. I saw him many times playing in local bands before joining the Straits.
thought i'd stick my nib in this month with a cover of a cliff richard song, i'm not a fan but i've done this a few times live...travelling light.
Doug, you crack me up..."more fingers than i was born with" 
thanks Jim. i never thought of it that way. whatever floats your boat as they say. every day is saturday since i retired...yawn...think i'll take a little nap
thanks Peatle. i retired about 4 years ago and as you say i still get that dream; late for work or fallen asleep and the feed is running out, ahhh!
have to say, i loved my job and if the place hadn't closed i would still be there at 66. i'm missing the excersize, you want to see the belly i've cultivated? no you don't....believe me
this is a new song and can be found at...
you tag line says; "music is what feelings sound like..." well, your words are honest feelings musically recited. well done, thanks for sharing.
Thanks EB. This came to me in the shower so I had to keep repeating it in my head incase I forgot it.
Hi Bill. Dosh is an old fashioned slang for money.
In a stroke is intended to mean "in a flash or immediately"
The things in the paper bag were her belongings not tax detritus. The bottom dropping out in the rain was to show how dumb she was, yet clever enough to fool the taxman...yeyh
Line 5, we have social security in the UK which will give alcoholics, druggies etc money, but I couldn't get that to rhyme...
Ich deign?
Monday's Child.
Monday's Child was named Tuesday.
Not pretty, not clever. No brain!
She carried her things in an old paper bag.
And so it fell out when it rained.
She lived on the money from begging.
The taxman lost out in a stroke.
She claimed lots of dosh from a man in a car.
For the leg that she claimed that he broke.
She lost all her teeth in a car crash.
She lost all her hair in a fire.
She should have stayed home on the day that she died.
Accident prone and a liar.
as i play lefty i have no problems following righties as rog says "it's like looking in the mirror" which is what lennon did when he and mccartney got together. i guess chord sheets would help a great deal?
Well done Peatle, you always seem to be able to put into words what I'm thinking, although I've never thought of it as rapid gunfire. Top marks again.
I'm not ready to pop my clogs just yet but I can echo all your sentiments, wish I'd done this, wish I'd said that etc, etc. When I think of all the opportunities I missed cos I was too lazy to go for it....
Well done, got me thinking.
Trump is always on about American jobs, he could make a name for himself by buying one each for all the White House staff...lol
I won't get one because I don't like the flat, thick neck not because I want to see Gibson to bust, though I wouldn't mind a top end acoustic....
