Topic: Queen Street

So here we are, I've been busy over the last month or so trying to write a few songs rather than just play covers.  I've really enjoyed the experience and despite my songs not being that good, I have to say I enjoy playing my songs (4 so far) more than any others. 

I played a few songs for my grandfather a few weeks back after a few single malts and I played Queen Street as well as a few others and I didn't tell him it was my song.  As I was leaving he said "do me a favour, play that Queen Street one agian for me!", I was stoked!

Anyway here it is, your honest feedback would much appreciated.

Re: Queen Street

Hey Crews - I really enjoyed that. I can understand you grandfather asking you to play it again. Nicely done.

Re: Queen Street

Honest feedback = catchy little tune, but I had just a little trouble with a section of it understanding just what you were saying.  I would like to see the lyrics so I could enjoy it even more.  Nice playing by the way!

Re: Queen Street

It's quite a catchy tune!  I too would love to see the lyrics, this Yankee has a hard time with accents... and that's my problem of course not yours!  smile

What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: Queen Street

I like it - good song.  Got a bit of Robyn Hitchcock vibe to it!  Well done, nice and catchy with a good chorus!

Now I work down at the car wash where all it ever does is rain.

Re: Queen Street

Here are the lyrics, hope you enjoy.

Dossers in their dirty clothes just begging for some cash
They say they want a Bic Mac Meal but they’re off to buy some hash
Oh your in Queen Street, your in Queen Street

Big Issue wielding salesmen, embarrassed at what they do
They should have listened to their mums when they were all in school
Oh your in Queen Street, your in Queen Street

Oh so many people yet I’ve never felt so alone
A dirty alien landscape I can’t wait ‘til I get home
Oh your in Queen Street, your in Queen Street

Children pushing pushchairs, look out they’re coming through
They must be barely in their teens knocked up my Mr Hughes
Oh your in Queen Street, your in Queen Street

Oh so many people yet I’ve never felt so alone
A dirty alien landscape I can’t wait ‘til I get home
Oh your in Queen Street, your in Queen Street

Assumptions and Presumptions are very hard not to do
Watch out for those first impressions or shame will be on you
Oh your in Queen Street, your in Queen Street

Oh so many people yet I’ve never felt so alone
A dirty alien landscape I can’t wait ‘til I get home
Oh your in Queen Street, your in Queen Street

Oh your in Queen Street, your in Queen Street
