The Bug

Post by Zelig »

Hi,
May I introduce my latest work with a Spanish guitar. It's called THE BUG What do you think? Any thoughts are welcome, even harsh critique. I’ve worked so much on this one that I'm no longer able to listen to it with an open ear myself. As well as being the guitar player I'm also the composer of this song.

The bug

Hey, I was fine!
Chatting with my girlfriends
And sipping at my wine.
Now, here's this bloke!
He's getting on my nerves
Is this somebody's joke?
He looks like a blind man
who must have dressed alone
He thinks he's a super hero
But My he's badly drawn.


Chorus:
This is much more than I can take
How can I make him take a break
Just a bug in the jungle
But he makes me sick

I have had the time to count his hairs,
To check the fire exit
To see how the others are happy where he is not
St Francis would have known
how you could trick this creature
to leave me on my own.
But he goes on talking
and even with his hands
if I could keep on walking
I'd be in Wonderland!

Chorus:

This is much more than I can take
How can I make him take a break
Just a bug in the jungle
But he makes me sick

Oh, if only he would go away!
Maybe a Chinese torture treatment
Wouldn't make him want to stay
Or if I could feed him to the rats
Anything at all, not to have to suffer that
What on earth could I have done
to always get the worst?
If I had a magic cure,
at last my freedom would come first!

Chorus:
This is much more than I can take
How can I make him take a break
Just a bug in the jungle
But he makes me sick

It is a nice sound you have there and certainly sounds like a professional recording!

How is your band progressing now?

Thanks Olly,
That's so kind of you.
We try to record as much as we can, but I wish we had more time.
I think you need to be a teenager to have a touring band with projects and all the rest. I do miss playing live with a full band, but you can't always get what you want as MIck taught us.
But we are lucky enough to work with a fantastic sound engineer. And that's really something!

Do you not tour at all at the moment? And what are your plans with your musical career going forward?

I know what you mean about the time - it is hard enough for me to find time to pick up my guitar at the moment! Nevermind anything else!
