Life's tough at the bottom (Rockabilly)

Writing songs for a gig on Friday...

I mean does Paul McCartney have to write ten new songs just for a gig..that he'll probably never repeat cos "they've already heard it".

To keep the punters happy in our limited number of pubs I'm constantly having to write new stuff....it's unfair McCartney has about 20 songs he's been repeating for the last 50 years filling stadiums and earning millions and in order to earn "fifty bucks" at the local pub I've got work my "ass" off.

Despite joking you have a point, pad them out with covers and life will be easier

You really think anyone's going to remember a song you played even 2 hours ago?

[vetran]

why thank you, it was sort of serious.

it was playing the 3 chords that prompted it. If they are being that precious throwing the score from "Down, Down" at him would either get him to wise up or go 'what the hell, sounds fun'.

Like Clapton there is some good, little known stuff from the 60/70s that you could make yours - for the night at least.

I do keep reusing lyrics ....you know like

She treats me bad

I feel sad

treats me like she should

I feel good

My baby left me

...all that cr*p

I saw a picture the other day talking about the importance of punctuation. There's a BIG difference between Paul McCartney saying "Here's a song I wrote, Yesterday" and "Here's a song I wrote yesterday"

My latest song:

she's a mean mean woman and she treats oh so bad
she's a mean mean woman and and she makes me oh so sad
she only calls me honey when she wants to have some money
she's a mean mean woman and she makes me oh so mad

[vetran]

My latest song:

she's a mean mean woman and she treats oh so bad
she's a mean mean woman and and she makes me oh so sad
she only calls me honey when she wants to have some money
she's a mean mean woman and she makes me oh so mad

If you play it backwards does your dog come back?

What do you call it - the divorce blues?

My latest song:

she's a mean mean woman and she treats oh so bad
she's a mean mean woman and and she makes me oh so sad
she only calls me honey when she wants to have some money
she's a mean mean woman and she makes me oh so mad
And I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
I li-li-li-like it, li-li-li-li
Here we go....oh
