thanks for the listen guys.
ark, i was watching a clapton concert from 2015 on sky arts when he made a faux paux like i do all the time, so i don't feel quite so bad about the many, oh so many mis-placement of digits during gigs (and recordings)
glad you spotted the humour in my words grah, of course i never stole cars nor blow up the school, i call that poetic licence 
left me with in a peaceful, chilled out state of mind. it's so nice when you find stuff you did yonks ago that sound so good.
i liked the selection of birds most of which i get in my garden (apart from the kestrel and the duck!) i also get seagulls...or as i call them, rats with wings! i used to feed them till one dive bombed me and i ended up with a white message on my left ear and shoulder...sometimes i wish i had a gun 
all the same, it's a really lovely track
Thanks Jim
I think we've all been there. My oldest whose now in his 40s actually apologised and said he must have been murder as his kids are just like him and a right royal pain.
Thanks for listening.
Phill
i agree with jim, and like i like to say; "you never die as long as someone remembers you", so i think about the important people in my life as often as i can.
now back to the song, i recognise all the sentiments, yet regardless of all the drinking, drug taking, fighting and general lunacy locally i find that there are a lot of good kids that show respect, and quite often i wish not to be asked to get up and sing with the band or dance., so the cloak of invisibility would come in quite handy.
look forward to the recording and what it's all about (alfie?)
a song about life and how we forget about the things we did when we were kids.
here's the link if you'd like to give a listen....please do
funny how one of my favourite songs come from one of my least favourite groups
ARGENT; HOLD YOUR HEAD UP.
the main riff consists of Dsus4 to D
reads great there jim. i'm gonna have to defer playing it for a couple of weeks summer seasons here and i'm off on my travels again. try and be good till i get back?
ps. you are the master of the hook line (last 2 lines of the chorus) brill
phill
this is TIGLJK song but with my melody and music. i think it's certainly the best one we've done together, jim will be putting it to video soon, but here's my track...

hope you'll give it a listen and enjoy what we have done
....i'd be the most miserable person i know ('cept maybe for russ)
hey jim, another masterpiece. i cant listen to your recording at the moment Ann's trying to sleep as you may know, she came back from holiday with a bad chest infection which is why i haven't had time to get our other project moving, hopefully soon. keep 'em coming buddy.
nice work EB, very evocative.
peatle, what you posted also rang a bell with me, cos i was brought up in a village outside a small town in (old) south wales and i can remember a time when we had no tv, doors needn't be locked and any kind of crime was a total scandal. then along came the teddy boys, then punk and skinheads. now it's druggies. alcohol has also played a big part throughout history. i guess it's knowing when to stop....so i shall, rant over
i've just read the poem again and i can see what you guys mean. it was meant as a holiday thing, but could so easily be going to war or (like my son in OZ) going to work. i'm so glad everyone has their own view on this and it has sparked conversation. thanks for all your great comments......mojo, keep your head down please, such a wonderful historic place to be yet so dangerous.
Sometimes I wonder why my mood changes within something I have written? I mean, it started off funny enough, and then such a sad ending.....
funny at the beginning and humourous at the end. i heard someone on the radio today say that a good writer can make you laugh, cry and dance, this song you've created certainly fills that criteria ('cept maybe for the dance bit) but i love it wierd verse structures and all. so glad you got the encouragement to finish it, so well done chordians for the extra push.
Great poem well written. We all seem to have something to say on gambling. I'm too tight to gamble. And even if I bought a ticket I probably wouldn't even check it! I once saw a couple of guys put their whole weeks wages into a fruit machine. I bet they got some stick from their families when they got home....broke!
Thanks EB, Dino and TF. Glad you liked my scribblings.
Phill, really good ...................we all should make the most of any holiday or break away, especially when the company is warm........they are over before you know it
You're right, but sometimes a week can seem like forever. Though the sun shined a lot of the time, there was a cold wind that spoilt it. Ann, the little lady, came home with a chest infection so I can't see us going to Majorca in April again. It was all inclusive, so the food and drinks were plentiful and made up a little for the weather. I still got sunburned.
Bill, now listen to me good buddy. I had a listen to your link and the "plot" of your song and theirs is totally different, so don't sweat it. Get that song out of the trunk and finish it because I'm looking forward to reading it and hearing it. If it bothers you just add "I'm Ruthless" simples!
Going back to the original subject, I have what I call my slush pile. It's a box with all my abortions in. If I'm in the full flow of writing and feel the need for a change of direction, middle 8, chorus or bridge and I'm stuck then that's where I go to give me ideas, so many of my songs may be new with a 30 year old section.

Hi Ctec, long time no see. Welcome back to the fold. I agree with all the above, nice chords and great lyrics. Well done thanks for sharing.
You know, the sad part of this is that the last post but one is mine which is dated a year ago and many of the posters have still only one post to their credit! They all seemed happy to join the conversation and then never bothered again. If you're still Chordie members and look in from time to time let us know you're there maybe post some tips and tricks, experiences good or bad. Your input will always be appreciated.
Iron Bird. Phill Williams. 4th May 2016
Every one called to say goodbye.
But now I'm alone, still hours till I fly.
The dark of the night like a veil all around.
The silence so deep it screams out so loud.
The darkness now fades it escapes like a thief.
As the ball of the sun bless the world with it's heat.
Far in the distance a thunderous roar.
Iron bird comes to take us abroad.
To sit in the sky above clouds down below.
Where no bird can fly, where no grass can grow.
We seem to go slow yet our speed is so fast.
Not long to go till our journey is past.
We arrive from the rain to the warmth of the sun.
Where the sea and the sky are so blue, not like home.
Yes the drinks are so cold yet the company warm.
Enjoy while we can tomorrow we're home.
he has a very modern sound and if he pursued this line i believe he would go maybe to the top. GO FOR IT LANCE.
must say thanks for the jethro tull comment, got to be in my top 5 vocalists. i must say that i'm not totally happy with it....but you can only fiddle about so far. nice work bill
that's a nice sweet song there jim, connotations of 50's songs without actually sounding like them, in other words original. i shall be flying in a few hours so i'll have another look in a week or so.
