Another RPM
Reg is looking back on his childhood.
Mama says i can't play with you no more
I don’t know how I’m gonna tell you
But mama says I can’t play with you no more
Your not like all the other boys
I can’t play with you no…
It all started with a tinkle on the ivories
Blue eyed boy
some say you’ve got it
The gift of the gab
The harmonious Tounge
That can sing a love song
With all the good intentions gone
Somewhere some blue eyed boy weeps all…
Another RPM
Reg has turned matchmaker he's better at that than being a partner himself
Love makes their world roll
I had a friend who told me, he wasn’t the man he should have been
He’d got tangled in his mind and…
Possibly the last one for this years RPM
The Only thing I feel
The wind blew against the window and brought the morning I
Sunlight hit the curtain and I’m sure it trying to break on through
My senses woke to the smell of tobbaco…
Another RPM
Reg is just turning himself inside out
Inside out
Everything seems inside out
My guess is thats what its all about
No body knows, how I feel
Everythings hidden, no one, has a clue
No one knows how I…
Another Rpm Reg is still sad ......
A sad song
I’m going to sing you a song
It won’t take long
The story is sad
But the story isn’t long
I’ll begin the song
About a woman who’s dead
Died in her sleep
alone in her bed…
Another Rpm Reg is still sad ......
A sad song

It won’t take long
The story is sad

Rachel & I went to see the new Bob Dylan movie "The complete unknown" last night of which I throughly enjoyed although Bob did come across as a bit of an arse at times. But anyway I was having a strum and thought I'd try and write a song in…
Another for the RPM
Reg starts to thinking about things...
Why did God give us thought?
Everyones afraid of the darkness
close your eyes you dissapear
Suddenly you are nothing but a voice
Syllables of sound a constant…
Another RPM
Reg starts to worry that he's forgetting his loved ones that have passed
Your memory fades
I can’t see your face no more in my mind
With my eyes closed your image starts to fade
I forgot your vioce how it…
Reg reckons he's found the essence of his problems if only he found that little bit of love earlier in life it would have all been different...... or would it ?
Little bit of love

Smoke from the burial fire will putyour soul at ease
The winds of change, the winds of…

Reg as gone introspective ..... too long looking in the mirror this morning while shaving and he started thinking not a good thing to do first thing in the morning....Thinking...i mean the sun wasn't even up!
It all started with a strum…
Have you ever had the Tuesday feeling? Reg has....
Tuesday feeling
The reflection staines the window not realising it’s already dead

Something for RPM. This piece of filler features a transaction between myself and my 2 year old daughter at her pretend shop. I was the 'custer', she was the 'shoppy keeper', and I was encouraged to ask her 'howzamuchit?'
Mother your an a hole
I know cos father said so
when you left for bingo
he said you was a pain in the ass
Father you're a dick head
I know cos uncle mick said
when mum and him were in bed
they said you was a total douche
ah but its…
if my mind goes
before I go
do me a favour
help me on my way?
yes if my mind dies
before I die
dont sit watching me talking nonsense
take that old fool out the game.
if my ability to hold a pee should
go astray
and im not a 100 percent…
RIP Tea Cozy Pete;
I was always the
one spilling out the pub drunk
early doors so me and he could speak
I knew his name he knew mine
id watch his smiling eyes shine
philosophising in the street
memory failed to remind me. strange. oh…
Muriel Jeanne Skinner promised that if it were possible she would come back from the dead to
tell me about the afterlife. She has not returned..

VOICES
There is something deep inside that wants to laugh and cry
Something that would like to tell it's story
There is something deep inside that wants to dance and wants to fly
Maybe you would guess it's called the…
THERE, I SAID IT
The more you got, the more you got to lose
From the top of your head down to the bottom of your shoes
The things you love. The things you abuse
It's enough to give a white boy the blues
I said it. There, I said it
It might…
an overcast rainy day here in south calif.. i sat at my piano in the morning and this just sort of sprang out on the keyboard... since im learning about electric guitars this feb (for rpm) i spent the day playing with different amps and effects…
KAWEAH (says the crow)
"Kaweah, Kaweah"
There's a place on up the hill
Redwood trees are standing still
The murmur of the river will invite you
Lay your head down on a rock
You'll forget about the clock
The whisper of the sun will…
I CAN'T TELL
I can't tell if it's morning or evening
I can't tell night from day
I can't tell if I'm arriving or leaving
Doesn't mean a thing to me
Since you went away
I can't tell if it's sunny or raining
I can't tell if it's…
I am learning a bit more each day about how to write/compose for guitar ,, quite fun. This RPM piece is dedicated for our 16 and 1/2 year old mini red Dachshund,, Howie.. though blind and mostly deaf, and recovering from illness, he still…
This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...
Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream.
LAST NIGHT
With a subtle touch
I have said enough
But you…
Another Psychedelic Sea Shanty. This one follows a Fox Trot beat. I didn’t have a mic screen when I recorded the vocal tracks – my voice is piercing at moments. Hope you are nonetheless able to enjoy the mix-down. Pan flute by Starry Nightmoth…
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
Came to this late.....but better late than never ...what a fab collab love the lyrics and the idea behind them Bravo to all involved ... Great vocal Greg!!
I see in color,
Even when, the words, black and white
I hear in flutters,
Even when, the words come in trite.
After all,
I'm tied to this anchor.
I'm tied to this hull.
Tied to this deck, through the night.
I better get to climbing…
Comments on thetworegs's stuff
Woah... I get the reference/influence... but this takes the idea a whole different place for me. Shivers down the back of my neck (and some memories)

I've just been trying to explain Reg to Mrs R... decided I can't do it as well as he does himself.
A truly happy ending!!
Loving these.... I'm hearing the ghost of Alex Harvey trying to break through here... probably my imagination.
It's good to hear old Reg again. I was gonna say "will he ever be happy?" ... and then I read the blurb lol
