Hi Graham, welcome back. Great to see you back on Chordie.

Each to their own I guess, but here in the UK we are fortunate to have hundreds of small breweries producing many different beers in many different styles. So wherever I am I try to find a beer that is produced not more than 30 miles away.

I tend to think that the fly committed suicide. With all the fine Welsh brewery's about, the poor fly was forced to suffer Australian lager or Guinness.
Think I might have done the same.

No problem Bill. I find the best cure for any ailment, be it physical,mental or otherwise, is wash it down with a beer.
Incidentally, I've never been called a singer before, or a guitarist.
Take care Bill.

Thanks for the good news Kev, keep it coming.

Lets hope you're out of hospital real soon Grah.

That's a real beauty.
Just having that hanging around your neck will make you a star. Wish you many happy years together.

I had a strum through this last night and had to stop at one point due to eyes misting over. I think the lyrics are brilliant, and so bloody true.
  Great song TIG

I been messing around with a simple
Structure,D,Bm,G,A.
Then using a rather loose open C,G,F on the chorus. I was thinking more early 60s Beach Boys style, as they were always singing about hot rods,muscle cars etc.
But open to all ideas.

Hi guys. Re the songwriting.
I would hope no one takes it to seriously, for me it's just a way of passing a bit of time while playing the old guitar. I have stuck a few more lines to it and made it fit into a very simple chord structure.
For me the fun part will be playing it in the pub and telling them it was written in collaboration with people from all over the USA and Europe.
But who knows, if theirs a Chordies Greatest Hits album
You just may be able to find a bit of space.

Just to tidy things up a bit. Please feel free to add take away or change it.

I moved on down to where the hot cars racing
Big dirty engines throwing up smoke
Everyone laughed at my mini cooper
Said it looked like a bit of a joke.

Behind Porche and Ferarri I took up my place
As we waited for green lights that started the race
They thought I was beat coz they were supersized
But I knew they were bout to get mini - mized.

I was off down the straight like a bat out of hell, and I knew this could be fun
And one by one the big boys fell as I let those horses run
I'll wipe that smile from your face you big disgrace, coz everyone can see.
This is no chariot race and you can't keep pace with mini cooper and me.

My motor was red lined in third so I slammed it in forth
The flames from my pipes they blew like a torch
Layer rubber in forth as I aimed for the line
I knew that I'd left all the big boys behind.
          Chorus
To win any race you gotta be wise
Don't matter how big all those other guys
Coz big ones fall, even supersized
A thing I like to call, you bin mini-mized.
