No More Blues For 2007

[mirrormist]

Well 2007 is almost upon us and I think rather than sitting around moping bout “my baby done left me and I got the blues” we need to put a more positive spin on things for the new year…and as they say…new year new beginning

Lucky that way

My women walked out cause she wanted her own way
She spat out expletives there was nothing more to say
Said I gave no satisfaction
And she needed much more action anyway
Hey what can I say
Guess I’m lucky that way

She left me with wisdom in the words of her advice
Said I missed warning signs while skating on thin ice
Didn’t give me time to blink
Guess she thought she’d leave me drowning in a drink
Haven’t seen her since that day
I’ve been lucky that way

Given up on gambling I’ve got nothing left to lose
Haven’t spent a penny buying cigarettes or booze
There’s a whole new verve to life
Since the day I lost my dearest darling wife
Hey what can I say
I’m just lucky that way


...it aint quite the same is it?...So on second thoughts let's stick with the blues

All the best for 2007

"Lucky that way" - the last verse - from the girl's perspective!

Maybe this will make the song a 'blues' again, or perhaps not??

(Nothing personal intended, by the way...)

She's found herself another man, he's handsome, rich and cool
He's bought her a Mercedes and a villa with a pool
She never has to cook
Sits all day beside the pool and reads a book
Hey what can I say
Guess she's lucky that way

Hello Sonya...thankyou for your amusing riposte

cutting heads then is it

Yes I was that other man, as you say handsome, rich and cool
I bought her the Mercedes and a villa, yes I was that fool
She never had time to cook
Eating pizzas, big Macs and all, I could write a book
but not one to complain eh
guess I’m lucky that way

Regards

Anthony

Hi Anthony

I'm pleased you took my reply in the light-hearted way it was intended!

As blues songs seldom have happy endings, and in view of the verse in your last posting, here goes - a cautionary tale....

So now she's fat and ugly with a hideous spare tyre
Her new man doesn't want her now, his passion's lost its fire
So she's on the shelf again
Doesn't get a second glance from any men
Other wives and girlfriends say
Phew, we're lucky that way! ;D

(Do you think anyone will employ us as lyricists? Better not give up the day job yet....)

Hello Sonya

Well I may as well pack up and go to bed
Cause Sonya you’ve just about cut m head
Stepping up to steal the crowd
You’re one cool wordsmith, feeling proud?
Yes I’ve thrown my pen away
Guess my luck ran out today ;D

Regards

Anthony

Hi Anthony

Thanks for the 'poetic' compliments!! Think we'd better call a truce now before everyone else suffers from terminal boredom....

Who knows, one day we may get the opportunity to perform our song - with due respect to R Cray of course!

Keep up the songwriting

Sonya

Thanks Sonya...enjoyed
