A new song, very country. Full explanation to follow.
Words & Music by Phill Williams. Home Rex. 14th October 2019.
My son has just bought a dog, so that explains the first verse.
The rest of the song is more or less a retrospective of my life and how I feel at this time.
The hill is of course the hill we will all get over one day, and it's downhill from there, and I feel like I've crested that hill.
It feels like everything I do I've done before, my voice can't reach the notes as easily, and my knees are giving me jip!
I have a problem with my heart and blood pressure, I spend more time having tests up the hospital than I do at home.
I have to pay full Council tax even at 68, and it seems everyone from the government to the cold callers want to take the little money I have left. and I can't do things I used to do a few years ago. I actually thought I'd stopped writing songs till this popped into my head.
That's my moan for today, I'm sure you are all glued to your screen....maybe not. LOL
Its a good song Phill and it mirrors my situation as well ,My sons both bought dogs and I seem to spend half my life going to the doctors or hospital and I have to pay full council tax .Hey but what the hell we both can still sing and play rock n roll. Keep churning it out buddy , love it .
Phill, Excellent lyrics. I look forward to hearing you play this song. One of my nieces calls me “ The Over The Hill Kid”. The past few years have made me realise how Im not bullet proof. Two years ago my once good health changed and I had to get use to doctors medication hospitals and so on being a big part of my life.. As Grah has pointed out we are never to old to sing and play rock n roll. You still got it Phill rock on brother.
Thanks Graham and Peatle. Oh yeah, you give in to it and you wind up pushing up daisies, then who'd collect my granddaughter from school?
It's a real annoyance when you work all your life and you have to give out most of the pension you've worked for. Then you see girls with four kids that have never worked in their lives get a house and benefits and they still don't know what soap is for. Sorry, another sermon!
And don't forget. Life is like a toilet roll, the further you get through it the faster it goes.
Phill great words and you left a lot of open words to make all of all of use think. Nice and well done.
