Lyrics (tongue in cheek)

Couldn't resist passing on this little gem from Private Eye:

Opening lyrics for a teenage blues singer

"Woke up this afternoon..........."

I can relate to that ;D ;D

[Gerry C]

OK, here we go:

Woke up this afternoon, found my good gal gone (x2)
She took away my iPod and my mobile phone.

Woke up this afternoon, going out my lonesome head (x2)
Must be the week-old pizza hiding underneath my bed.

I'm sure that other forum members will have suitable contributions to make...


Cheerily,

Gerry C

Bang on Gerry
Great lyrics ........... see if you can somehow incorporate ' connected the laptop onto the internet and talked to my boyfreind till the early hours of the following morning on it ' , it would sum up my daughter

Kind regards

The great Liverpool poet Adrian Henri did a brilliant send up of the late '60's british blues boom as it was happening. This was always one of the Liverpool Scene's most requested live numbers, because the blues was so popular at the time.

Originally released on the 'Bread On The Night' album in 1969.



'The Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall Can't Fail Blues..'

Woke up this morning and my agent was standing in my room,
Woke up this morning and my agent and a man from Blue Horizon records and Mike and Richard Vernon were all standing in my room,
They said you better learn some blues son, because there's gonna be a boom.
A great big boom, daddy...

I got the Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall can't fail blues,
I got the Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall can't fail blues
I got the Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall can't fail blues

From the deep, deep south of the river Thames,
Bottleneck guitar is the latest trend,
Gonna earn more money than I can spend,
I got the blues...

I got the Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall can't fail blues
I got the Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall can't fail blues
I got the Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall can't fail blues

I got the Jethro Tull bellyful Savoy Brown reach me down blues
I got the Jethro Tull bellyful Savoy Brown reach me down blues
I got the Jethro Tull bellyful Savoy Brown reach me down blues

I'm gonna pick that cotton and do my thing,
Don't know the chords and I just can't sing
But there's lots of noise and the drums don't swing,
I got the blues.....

I got the blues, the Jethro Tull bellyful blues
I got the Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall can't fail blues
I got the Fleetwood Mac Chicken Shack John Mayall can't fail blues

Got money by the spoonful,
Got money by the handful,
Got money by the roomful,
Got money by the bankful,

I'm with Blue Horizon records everything is gonna be alright...

Listen to the original on youtube... (slightly wonky audio)


Liverpool Scene play the blues from 'Bread On The Night'

And to keep the teenager thing going...

Teddy Thompson, son of Richard, has a song 'I've should get up'

Not blues, but a nice song and very teenager, and me after a late night!
