Reg Rotton and Kari (Redlar) live in the cellar
Aint got nothing but love and that won’t do w/ Kari
Can’t work

Living life on a slag heap

Reg went to the cinema last night to see Baz Lurmans Epic and woke up this morning beleaving he was Elvis ....someones got to tell him he's not..... he's started sowing beads onto his boiler-suit and will eat nothing but peanut butter and bacon…
Another for the RPM Reg got to thinking again ......
Shes a shaker
She’s a movie star
Blue eyes black skin like coal tar
Shes a vision on the big screen
She is everybodys movie queen
Made up on a keyboard
Chalked out on a blackboard…
Another for the RPM Challenge ...Reg woke up feeling a little pessimistic and started to ask himself the big question...
What does it all mean
The preacher spent his life building churches out of stone
Making money to…
Sometimes Reg gets a little TOO pessimistic to leave me feeling comfortable... but I love where here was going on this one. Hopefully someone bought him a beer or a bar of chocolate after this one.
Sometimes songwriting is easy sometimes its just all noise…..
Sometimes its just all noise
I’ve got this pocket book with a story of my world
With Words misspelt
words misunderstood and
Rhymes that will not work
Chords to a theory…

Reg has lost Rita and its threw him so hard he fell of the wagon ....
Rita
I’m feel completly unknown
I don’t know myself no more
The vision of myself is confusing
I don’t know who I am any more
I’ve been shook…
Has Reg found the one ?...
Something special
You got that something
Your eyes, they say it all
I can see theres something special about you
I know its true
Theres something special about you
All though we’ve only just met…

Another for the RPM Challenge ...... Reg got broke by three little words
Three little words
She said
I love you
but she lied to me
She told me I was hers
till the end
Those three little words made me lose my way…
Another for the RPM Challenge ....when will this bloody rain stop want to see the sun again....is it still up there?
Rain
Seeing the Sunrise in the morning
Then life wouldn’t be too bad
with this rain pouring down…

Regs mate Charlie is going through a bad time but he knows the good times are just around the corner....
The good times
Well he’s sat in the bunkhouse
Sitting there thinking about life as its passing him by
He knows…
A little background to Reg ....everyone he meets tells him just to stop and sort himself out ....is it really that easy
DIY
They tell me I’ve got to do it my self
Its just a touch of DiY
To pull my self…

All encompassing at this time of the morning.....with the mist settling over the hills ....still dark but with an eirry glow.....and it seems to be keeping Seb settled too.......thanks ,.....I may try putting the iPad in his room .....you never know I may get some sleep......
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

I said it…
A new original from me. Another one-voice, one-guitar, "live" performance in my broom-cupboard. This time it's the good ole tin guitar.
I wrote this one in 2002 during the "dark years" lol. I've ummed and aahed over the years on whether to…
We’re standing up for the job creators
We know that someday they will come through
All that’s needed is lower taxes
That’s what they’re waiting for us to do
We think it’s great they have so much money
We know they’ll spend it responsibly…
We've all met them! Haha. Got a bit of a rocky head on doing this.
"I ain't gonna love her like I said I would, coz my friends were all quite right - she's no good."
Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo's. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)
This is a beautiful song from Joni Mitchell. My friend had his 50th birthday and this was my gift, I played it live at his party and recorded it later (4-2-2011)in my livingroom.
It's one take, can't mis that if you listen to it all the way…

You say
I doesn’t matter what I say
All the time we spent is gone now
Taken out
You cry
I'm not even asking why
Your head's up in the sky now
Your alive
When I ask you to explain…
Love the accent in the vocal it seems. To give it more meaning ...pretty much agree with what Adrew says ....the vocal and the song is where it's at......
Just what I needed ......got the children ready for bed or rather wrestled them ready for bed and now to relax with some beautiful piano ......excellent Chris Thanks
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
Texas hold em poker, and going for it all. Open mic acoustic with some alt tuning. Percussion by Norm.
The kokiriko? Norms playing in there actually sounds like shuffling cards- particularly loving the glockenspiel addition he did…
Comments on thetworegs's stuff
Cool tune and yes, the punk feel to this is great. Lyrics - spot on!
Ha! Well, this is a nice treat...and you reminded me of my dad, so extra kudos on that opening.
Another fine RPM! Mighty fine. Well done :)

Yep !👍
Loving the punk vibe
So sorry for your loss!!! The lyrics of this song are so very sad
Beautiful.
What an opening track to the album. Awesome.
Very intimate. Love your subtle effect on your vocals. Nice cover artwork too.
Sounds great Trev!👍
Cool. Kind of a Neil Young vibe going on. I like it :-] (maybe a little Bob Dylan on harp in there as well). :-]
Woo! Great pickin', bro.
I like the sound of this one....you have a real polished sound for this track.
Sitting in a hotel room on Reno by my lonesome watching the sun sink low over rush hour traffic. This is the perfect soundtrack.
This one is really nice. That crying harp is a perfect accompaniment.
This is the perfect range for your vocal!
Best wishes for Charlie....great tune.
Great vocal...sounding a bit loose. It's nice.
Cool, keep rolling!
