When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…
Thanks for the encouraging words, Alex! There are plenty of options out there for making 8-bit sound; the one I used is a free application called FamiTracker, from famitracker.shoodot.net. More popular is the cartridge LSDJ for the original Gameboy, but that costs money and I love my freeware! Excepting the one copy of Fell Plot I sent to RPM, I don't have any of my music in print so I can't really make any trades, but I'll stick around and listen to some of your songs. :)
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…

I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…

sort of alice in wonderland or maybe you might read something else from it. that's up to you.
They've switched off all the lights
they're out to lunch
they've all gone to the party
they're having tea and scones
the hatter calls for silence…
You know how it is when you look around, trying to figure out what everyone is doing and how they lead their live, looking for an answer to how you should run your own ... don't ... otherwise, you'll wind up with a life that is just a cut-and…
to cheer himself up Reg thought he'd go down the Casino and see if he could find those riches at the roulette table...so he borrowed some money of Big Ed and suited himself up and away he went....but it didn't quite go to plan and now he has to…
dont think I'll make RPM this year chum! Baby due in April so expecting to be rubbing fat ankles or finding other ways to demonstrate my servitude around that time! If she can spare me though.. I'll wack something together for sure!!
I had missed this one when it was first put up by Chris Vaisvil and Norm (Still waiting) i heard it today for the first time and it struck a chord so i asked Chris if i could add some words and being the generous man he is, he said yes. So i set…
With his lottery money Reg has invested in becoming a funk star. The other reg came up with the tune and Reg jumped all over the thing......come and get funky with thetwoReg
Ugh!!!! Good Gawd!!! Funky as james brown's socks. Reminds me of the vocal off something by Zappa with Beefheart on it. Cant think what it is. Brilliant though. :)
Thanks to Geas for the great music....this one has the vocal of both Regs high and low....hope you enjoy.......
Gone to Yesterday (Lyrics)
Once upon a time I lived in a life i thought was nothing but a dream
The happily ever after was just part…
