Reg was positive that she was the one until he had chat with Norm who said "Be careful remember Desirea" Norm was only trying to help but it has put doubt in Reg's mind and now hes not sure what he wants...........................thought i'd do…
was waiting for, no boozin, "no carooooooozin" elongated part of the word to be sung. Maybe a re-recorded version? But I do like this how it is, which is good.
Reg was reading the paper today about the Spandex vigilante. Now Reg has got himself sorted becoming a superhero appeals to him. Ummmm about the suit i think it should be Blue to match my eyes with a large TTR motif of some sort on the chest in…
this is great! Your a song recording machine, not exactly a multi-tracker but a rock n roll multi-tasker of sorts. I've always wondered about the spandex wearing folk, where do they all come from kind of thing, if you know what i mean. lol

Reg has just had a moment he doesn't mean it, he was in the bar entertaining the leeches his fellow companions on his shadow of a life and he became depressed at his situation and struck out but he doesn't mean he would be lost without his companions…
Reg! You need to work on your intra-personal skills with the establishment's patrons if you want that piano tip jar to get filled up.
Damn that Disirea! She's gotten into your head and now it's messing you up.
The darkness has come to haunt Reg again.....
The Darkness comes again
Disbeliever what is your name
Your calling out from the dark again
I hear your words but there not what they say
in my mind there as clear as mud
The trodden…
Damn operatic Reg......this is very good. This is like something from a Rock-opera. How I wish I could tickle the ivories like this....I really need to spend some quality time with my piano.....but my damn guitars are always leering at me everytime I try........back to this excellent song........thats Prose man, a libretto....operatic. Some strings would sound deadly, cello maybe, string trio kind of sound..........maybe.

No more messing about for Reg, this is the one she has long black satin hair the body of an angel, her accent is pure English rose she stands by the bar talking to her friends, she turns Reg catches her eye and smiles a bolt of electricity zaps…

Thats what I was needing tonight boys.........sweet groove, unlike anything ever heard before, yet grooving so hard it hurts......Norm drumming is so insanely slinky and groove I damn near danced my underpants off here tonight .......too much info? OK.......moving on then.....to the black haired maiden......just the description alone is enough.....I am smitten.....if she is anything like this song then it is hopeless............hang on Reg....she will steal your damn soul.

Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
It aint like no ones done this before

In the fifties

Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
