Topic: Jamming For Eternity
This began as a social comment dealing with the credit crunch and the fact that I like so many others will soon be out of work. Then [for some reason] it became a desire to be where the greats are, I could just imagine this line-up jamming away for eternity, can you think of anyone else that would add to this line-up?
Jamming For Eternity by Phill Williams
The good old days are gone
Being alive really isn't much fun
Before I used to live
Now I just survive
Now I think I'm half dead
When I was so alive
And each letter through the door
Says I owe more and more
How I lost my will to live
Cos the good old days are gone
I could deal with all the twists and bends
And all the hoops and hurdles they could send
If this tunnel had a light
Twinkle in the darkness, twinkle bright
Give me strength to fight this fight
Cos the good old days are gone
Elvis left the building
Lennon left it too
Hendrix and Janis Joplin
John Martyn and John Denver
And the Who's Kieth Moon
Heaven must be bouncing
All those rock and country stars
Jamming for eternity
Mad drums and screaming guitars
Sometime I think I'll join them
To sit and watch them play
Holly must need a roadie
John Bonham a mixer man
Freddy Murcury may need a tissue
To wipe his sweaty brow
To me this would be paradise
Oh! God, please call me now
Yes the good old days are gone my friend
But their music still lives on
Even though the greats are bothering God
It's odds on he wont send them back
They're jamming for eternity
And our good old days are gone...
