fantastic piece of writing and a mth early at that
Jan being back and getting song of mth going again seems to have
given chordie a new energy,and many of us a reason to write and post again.

Old blokes on bikes
better take care
cause if they come off
they got no hair
nothing to cushion the fall
a tangle of arms legs
pedals spokes and all
when you`re young
fit and strong
cast caution to the wind
you can do no wrong
but as i said before
I`ll say it one time more
old blokes on bikes
had better take care

that looks about right, i just came back thinking it needed the``boy`` added, you already did it. great minds think alike .
added another couple of things also.
i do stuff off the cuff and rarely go back and add or improve,but your interest got me having a relook at it.
feel free to add or subtract.
many thanks for your interest,if ya record it i`d love to hear it from a real musician.

Re: The Russian Soldier (18 replies, posted in Songwriting)
i did it off the cuff only had the first line,the i started strumming and making up chords/lyric at it went along.
dont know if this is why u cant make out the words.it goes something like this i think.
on our first day of arrival
a sergeant said to me
better say your prayers boy
cause we`re in dangerous territory
where the bullets fly screams are heard
all day long
stubborn resistance and commitment strong
it`s not our place to be
it`s not our country
but we go where we are sent
because it`s our job
although it`s often said
this doesn`t make any sense
where the bombs fall and the fires burn
all night long
it`s not our country
it`s not our place to be

Phill
my preference is stripped down recordings,but nothing wrong with the big production
it is a skill in itself,and something you excel at.go for it.
