Start, as you mean to go on

By jfarrell

(inspired by coldplay and Sting’s brand new day )

My fingers bleed from racing them 6 strings…

Since I realized I can play guitar….

….”Don’t stop me now, I’m having such a good time…”

I’ve just turned 50,

And as a new year starts

I will be starting as I mean to go on….

Blasting out T-Rex and Chuck Berry licks….

‘Mirror in the bathroom’ with

‘My browned eyed girl’

And that sweet, so sweet…

‘red, red wine….’

….’ a taste of honey, is worse than none at all…’

…...depressed, drowning, for so long….

….just wanting to die…please… what a coward, let me go…

NO!…. now….

‘I can’t let the sun go down on me’….

Won’t….. can’t….

I was ready, now… all of a sudden I ain’t!

Turn the ‘Gain’ ALL the way up….

Just a little more volume….

… and start as I mean to go on!!!!!

‘Take a little bit of my heart now, baby….’

‘I’m your toy, 20^th Century boy….’

…

‘we’re starting up a brand new day.’
