A wee country Ditty about the Fame I do not Have.

lyrics

Well Down from the Mountain with a Guitar on your Back,
The Locals thought you Strange but Your Talents Really Bought you Some Slack,
There was Fire in your Veins Spawned from Fiery Rains,
Ain't No Business Cards when the Stage Turned from Black,
With Lightning Arcing up your Hand,
You Etched Lead into Papyrus,
Them Radio Stations Really Picked it up Just Like Influenza Virus,
Things Started Changing, World Tours got Arranging,
Ain't Just Featured on Backyard Pirates.

COZ IT'S THE BIG TIME, BABE.
YEAH IT'S THE BIG TIME BABE

Well Up the Mountain Fuelled by Alcohol and Good Times,
Collected Unwanted Good Job Awards Whilst Dodging Sentence Times,
Fate of the Overnight Sensation Ain't World Domination but I'll Take Mines with Ice and Lime,
With Arthritis Leeching up your Arm, Push Lead into Polished Steel,
Sometimes it Takes Something a Little Warmer to Make those People Feel,
With Debt Chained upon my Legs and Fraud Phone Calls from the Feds,
This Business is a Brutal Wheel.

COZ IT'S THE BIG TIME, BABE.
YEAH IT'S THE BIG TIME BABE

Now it's Time to Settle and Enter them Halls of Fame,
Do a Couple Smiling Photos and People Soon Shift the Blame,
Give them What they Came Here for 1.2.3.4,
Ignorance is this Industry's Shame.....Babe.

Unreal
by swamphaze

Really Cool Stuff! Easy to get Lost in These Songs - They are Full of Strange/Moody Sound Choices and Instrument/Beat/Melody Switch-Ups. Somewhere between Euphoria and Unease... Cod O'Donnell
