I set myself a task to write 7 silly/comedy songs in 7 days.
well i did 8.I did this because lately i been writing too many serious songs.
You`ll be pleased to know, it`s now Friday & there won`t be any more for a while(big sigh from Chordians) oh the relief!
Buckle yaself and hold on tight!

`Ordinary Song`
E# dim 7
Just an ordinary guy
Am7+9
Who writes ordinary songs
Db sus
Like to keep it simple
E+## Dbbb  dim sus4
Not trying to impress

Just use a few chords
That everybody knows
To play along , have some fun
And make a bit of noise
The lyrics i keep simple too
It would be expidicious of me
To conflagulate words that matter
Just to repositate you
Just an ordinary song!

Gidday,i was thinking of a subject that might get comments from the Chordians
who don`t usually bother to make a comment.Needed a killer title to get their attention.
But my post turned into this a kinda poem/song thingy.This is a deep subject!Look forward to your replies.

Sex Or Guitar
Hey i always meant to ask you
Which one would it be
If ya had to give up
One or the other of these
Sex or guitars?
For some it may be easy
To answer this question
But to others not an easy choice
On the plus side
A guitar gets better with age
Can`t always say that for a woman(or Man)
They get out of tune pretty easily
So i`ll look forward to hearing your answer
But please keep it true
As for me you`re wondering?
At this stage i`m non commital
A question like this
Is far too hard for me

Wow that was great,must be a real buzz playing in a band like that.
Loved the drummers grove,fantastic.

Bill
your friend is amazing,looked him up.
Wow if we could get him on board this could be (dare i say it again) Amazing!
I`d love to see if he could engineer something with my latest song.(is he a magician?)

Well done, lovely guitar.
Thats a real bargain.
A guitar that will last a life time for half a days work, fantastic.
I`m sure you will enjoy it.

Thanks Phill

I`ve been so disappointed in his stuff nowadays

Hey Bill
i kinda like the idea.i even have a few of songs by u guys that i think
are worthy of recognition.
I do lots of songs that are pretty ordinary so i`d be happy to come last.
Not a problem.
I think the good songs should be recognised by us.I know that listening to
u good musicians gives me a buzz,It inspires me to get better.
U only have to look @ some countries where there is no competition
they end up a basket case.
Competition raises standards, personally, i might find it pushes me to something better.
bring it on i`m ready to vote!

The Real You

He wakes in the morning
sits up in his bed
reaches to the bedside table
puts the wig on his head

up to the bathroom
has a shave
puts in his teeth
smiles in the mirror

Back to the bedroom
one last job to do
puts in his contacts
all designed to impress you.

Peatle
When are we going to see some of your fine words/songs posted???????????
glad i`m still keeping u amused.
i been writing serious stuff lately, so thought time for some fun.

`Peatle Jville` is a friend & supporter of mine from Soundcloud.
Give him a visit on Soundcloud.
He`s been listening to many of you guys too.

Does Paul simon have another Gracelands in him?
Great question.
I often wonder if  the greatest writer, Paul Mccartney
has got a great song left in him?
I`ve spent a lot of time thinking about this,the only answer i`ve
come up with, is many of his great songs were about every day subjects.
I think he now lives a less than humble life(& good on him he`s earned it)
also he does everything himself with out arrangers & song writing partner to bounce off.
So no i don`t think he`s got another great song coming.
Don`t know if this applies to Paul simon.
look forward to your opinion.

STONED( think i would talk this over a couple of chords)
you no i`m kinda new to this music stuff
got an old guitar in the garage
had some spare time lately so thought i`d dig it out
Wanna be a rock star!
So read up on rock stars
Lots about  picking up chicks
And plenty about drugs
even read a bit about music
sounds like fun
so i took my old 3 sting guitar
downtown to do some busking
it didn`t go too well
the music was rubbish
1 chord just didn`t impress
but on the up side
i did get stoned
can`t see why rock stars like this so much
when i get rid of the scratches and bruises
gonna go out busking again

Good words Tenement.

Oh No i`ve done it again! this one wasn`t an analogy
this one is actually all about tennis but the twist is love/relationship or whatever.
Sorry to get u guys confused.
In the end i guess we all see it different.
thanks for taking the time to think about it

Phill,i play tennis(my other passion) not sure about the soft balls though.

Love is nothing (chords to come)

Well you get out there
on a sunny day
fool around
and start to play
but don`t get too involved
there ain`t no point
cause love is nothing

start off with a hit
cause you`re on grass
get too excited
it will get ya high
but what goes up must come down
don`t worry there ain`t no point
cause love is nothing

if ya in for the long haul
you`ll get better
maybe having a ball
but all us tennis players already know this
there ain`t no point
LOVE IS NOTHING

Gidday Bill,
thanks for setting me a challenge,never done an instrumental.
emailed you the result. As it`s not good enough to put out into
the unsuspecting world!
