    Tumbling Down

    She sits in the cafe

    in her usual chair

    Sips at her coffee

    and plays with her hair

    The world rushes by

    outside on the street

    so she lights up a cigarette

    and shuffles her feet

    She's seen lots of changes

    Not all of them good

    And sometimes the changes

    Are not understood

    And it's all tumbling down

    Yes it's all tumbling down

    The future is calling

    The old ways are falling

    But sometimes you need to slow down

    Keep your feet on the ground

    The bus stop is crowded

    As everyone stares

    She passes by slowly

    And nobody cares

    Her bags are too heavy

    But she wont put them down

    It's the burden of living

    That's weighing her down

    She thinks of her young days

    When she was sixteen

    The dances and romance

    And what might have been

    But it's all tumbling down

    Yes it's all tumbling down

    The future is calling

    The old ways are falling

    But sometimes you need to slow down

    Keep your feet on the ground

    I may add some more to this.

    I found a shop in Totnes selling Bodrams at half price! 20 quid for a large one down to a tenner for a small one. I'm sorely tempted! Just not sure how the bank balance is standing at the mo? :(

    Driving lessons

    1/

    A nervous lad was he

    Thats what he said to me

    The day he went out driving

    His lesson was at four

    Instructor at the door

    I don't mind now confiding

    That I was worse than him

    I was feeling pretty grim

    As this stranger took him off to teach him

    Oh no, my baby boy's grown

    He's 17 and counting!

    2/

    He swotted up the code

    To help him on the road

    He's learned the signs and warnings

    He sat behind the wheel

    And drove it down the hill

    And he's booked for ten more mornings

    Oh I was worse than him

    He was looking fairly trim

    as this stranger took him off to teach him

    Oh no, my baby boy's grown

    He's 17 and counting!

    3/

    I hope he's doing well

    It's really hard to tell

    But it's costing me a fortune

    So when he takes his test

    I hope he does his best

    For me it can't come too soon

    Oh I'll be worse than him

    my account is looking grim

    as I pay another wad to teach him

    Oh no, my baby boy's grown

    He's 17 and counting!

    And then he'll want a car

    To travel near and far

    I think I'll have a breakdown!

    It's going well so far! :)

    Fresh Scent of a New Year

    Oh the songs of joy are over

    The carols worn bare

    And the nights are getting shorter

    But most folks would'nt care

    There's a frost in the morning

    A white hoarey frown

    and a promise of a fine day

    With the sun shining down

    Now we take down festive treasures

    And store them away

    And the bright coloured papers

    Have all had their day

    Fine baubles and fairies

    and candles so bright

    Did we all pray for peace

    And a long silent night

    Now the house feels so empty

    With the passing of 12th night

    But the promise of the new year

    Makes the future seem bright

    Excitement of planning

    Where shall we go?

    Working hard and saving

    As the time passes slow

    As the winter wends softly

    to blossoms of spring

    And the breath of the new born

    Is on everything

    Snowdrops and crocus

    and buds on the trees

    And the fresh scent of a new year

    comes drifting on the breeze

    Up For A Challenge?

    I suggest we all start our own threads to post our lyrics . This is gonna be a hell of a challenge for me. I haven't written anything in 2 years. And I'm not the best or lyric writers anyway! But what the hell! What have I got to lose?

    Cheap Electric Guitar?

    in Performance

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    I play accoustic guitar at the moment and thinking of getting Electric guitar to record some up beat songs. I can tell you that they are not cheap! Especially the Ibanez and Ashton series. Do you have a suggestion of a cheap quality guitar for recording purposes. I am not a pro, so I'm not going to spend more than $350 for Guitar and amp if I can.

    At the moment I'm looking at this one on ebay. Looks crap, but should I go for it?

    Any input will be greatly appreciated! :D

    Hey! Did you buy it?

    What's it like?

    Was it worth it? :)

    Tips For Buying A New/second Hand Guitar

    in Performance

    Posted

    If you are a begginer and you're not confident of playing a new guitar in a shop, ask one of the assistants to play it. That way, you get to sit a listen to an accomplished player, and you can hear the tone of the guitar! Ask if it's suitable for a begginer? Ask him (her) to play a few and give an opinion on all af them! Ask if it will need new strings?
