about

Another really slow piece to once again try and get the vocal to be more intelligible although I know that many really famous songs are in fact almost impossible to understand throughout - so I need to be careful not to strive for something that does not exist out there and is not needed e.g. the perfect song with each word as clear as a bell!

Been taking some online lessons on drumming and so I start this piece with a bit of a drum solo - apologies to all drummers out there who may find this very basic!

lyrics

I’ve been drinking
Done some thinking.
Wish I knew what
Life is about.
Could it be true
Payment is due?
I’ve no money
Debt must be paid.
Drinking, thinking
I’ve been drinking,
And been thinking
‘Cos that’s what we men do!

Late night shifting
Heavy lifting.
Back is a pain
Aching again.
People just stare
What do I care.
Body’s a mess
Need help to dress.
Working, thinking
Mind is drifting,
I’m just too low
Life’s a no-go, baby!

Eyes are real wet
Tongue is quite dry.
Only know now
What I have lost.
You are on my mind
All the time!
Sure do miss you
Need to kiss you.
Sitting thinking
No more drinking,
Just keep hoping
‘Cos that what we men do!

Half of my life
You were my wife.
Finest couple
On this planet.
I understand
Why you’re so mad
But it makes me
Still feel so sad.
Got some photos
In my pocket,
Keep me going
When I’ve lost it, baby!
