I've finished the lyric, kooks!
'Yippee!'
Which means the BIG TEN is finished also ...
Mighty Soul
Shady, Dodgy, Shifty
The Future
Life and Death
Nothing
This World Don't Mean a Thing
Stella
Malibu
What's This Life We Live?
And Rain Came Down
And it's a historic achievement - as far as I'm concerned - because I've matched the BIG TEN of The Beatles ... as a single songwriter.
'Yippee!'
Yeah.
A Day In The Life
Let It Be
Hey Jude
Yesterday
Strawberry Fields Forever
I Am The Walrus
The Long and Winding Road
Eleanor Rigby
Something
Penny Lane
Those songs there.
According to me, like. [I know there are nutjobs around who would probably put Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da on the list. 'Ha!' Anything is possible.]
By the way, Life and Death is my best lyric by a country mile.
'Better than Nothing, Mikey?'
Nothing has still got my best verse, Voice, the third verse. But Life and Death reads like a great poem all the way through. It's like late period Yeats.
'Yippee!'
Like The Black Tower or something. In its mood. But it's a bigger "poem" than that.
'Yippee!'
And it was easy to write, man. I hardly thought about what I was doing at all. Pretty mysterious, really ... to go along with the mysterious music. Some people will say it's my best song, but it's not. [Dylan and Cohen fans???]
'Schubert will be pissed though.' Of course.
'Yippee!'
Stop saying that, idiot!
Uh.
'Where's the champagne, then?'
Oh, I don't like champagne.
'Where are the Jammie Dodgers, then?'
Ha! I'm on a diet!
'Oh, okay. Never mind.'
Yeah, yeah.
Actually ... I might have a solution to the protein and fat and calories problem. I mean, there's a three bean soup you can get that's got loads of protein in it, but it's low in fat and calories, so ... I could have that for lunch instead of sandwiches and crisps.
'Yeah. Have you tried it yet?'
No.
'It might be horrible.'
Well, it looks all right. I saw it in Tesco yesterday in Richmond.
And that's another thing! I have to be careful now where I eat my lunch in Richmond because there's a squirrel who won't leave me alone. I think he waits for me, and then jumps out of a bush, you know?
Anyway ...
I've got to write the lyric for the 2.20 tune next. That will give me all the songs for the album.
'Yip - ... sorry.'
Laters, troubadour fans!
