Does it Matter

Dressing down in My Sunday Best

Facing South But Heading out West

Been Caught Offside Swam against the tide,Really didn't matter being taken for a ride

Acting the fool on Saturday Night

Trying on black then deciding on white. 

Staying indoors Going out for a bite. Sailing against the wind Flying a kite

Did it matter Did it Shatter Did the Glass Break

What the Hell for Heavens Sake Yeah What the Hell for Heavens Sake.

Hanging around Didn't hesitate Got home early after going out late 

Wasted My time on a life of crime Lost a few pound but then found a Dime

Decisions Decisions Don't have a clue Front Runner Baby Back o the Queue

 Going in while their Chucking Out, Decisions Decisions Swings and Roundabouts

Did it Matter Did it Shatter Did the Glass Break

What the Hell for Heavens Sake Yeah What the Hell for Heavens Sake

Running on empty far too long

A line just taken from a favorite song

One day flush then needing a loan

Tyrone shoelaces and Basketball Jones

Cant think for the life of me, Too noisy in here. Stuck in neutral while in top gear.

Did it matter, Did it shatter? Did the glass break, What the Hell for heavens sake 

I started out on a one way track. No destination and no going back

Once I was History but soon I'll be dead

Once I was Green but often saw red

Ignored the Warnings whispered to me, Sang from the Heart but in the Wrong Key

Did it Matter? Did It Shatter? Did The Glass Break, What the hell for heavens sake

All Right Now My Brother Jake

Did it Matter Did it Shatter Will the glass break

Will we all end up like the lady in the Lake

Dancing in the Moonlight, Thin Lizzy and Phil

The last bus home , Running up  that hill.

Does it matter Will it Shatter Will our Hearts Break What The Hell for Heavens Sake.

Shoulda Wudda Coulda

 As sure as Tick follows Tok I was born to rock.

As sure as Night follows day. I was born to play;

Missed my vocation Singing to the Nation. Should have been a Real Rocking Celebration.

But oh no I didn't do the show, Much too Busy to play that Rock n Roll.

Maybe I  didn't catch the eye of people passing by and. Shoulda  wudda  Coulda been a Rock n Roll Queen.You know whatta mean A real Mean Machine But it was just a Dream -

That didn't come True  In front of the Mirror with Bolans Boogaloo

I was sounding good  practicing alone. Busting my moves with a beat up microphone

Created a band with some old friends, doing covers from way back when, Yeah we were sounding good or at least seemed good to me.

As sure as Chuck wore a Beret I  drove down to the levy in a rusty Car shoulda coulda been a Chevy

I missed the Greyhound Bus going off track. Made the wrong move and never going back.

Shoulda Woulda Coulda been a Rock n Roll Star Instead of a Dreamer propping up the Bar.

Spent all night playing the Blues Catching up with more bad news when( I SHOULDA  WUDDA COULDA ) x4

Repeat 1st four lines and fade

Horses For Courses

 My thoughts are running thru my mind

People think that I'm unkind and wasting precious energy on gambling online.

But let them say what they think while treating me like a missing link, I aint part of a chain and know I aint going Insane. 

I believe in myself while leaning here on this shelf 

Writing out my Betting Slip. just one more Beer and one more Tip

Waiting for my Luck to turn, Dreaming of  tomorrow. knowing that I will Earn or beg steel and Borrow

Another Photo finish. A pounding in my heart. Cant we raise the flag again Go back to the start

Lady Luck is playing Hide n Seek. while I search for that winning streak, I bet my wages on a Bay Maybe I should call it a day.

No money in my Purse. Things are getting Worse

I made a promise to myself while Leaning on this shelf

Writing out My Yankee Bet. This is it No more debt.

Got a feeling that feels good.  My fingers crossed Come On Touch wood.

Cant believe he just pulled up and why o why Its just my Luck

Bad aint the word Going Insane Cant believe I didn't Win Again

Falling at the last when eight lengths Clear

Tear up the slip wipe away a tear

Get back to work Get back to life, How will I tell the wife

No money for Rent and I'm still bent on Making things right no sleep tonight

Bad thoughts are running thru my Mind

Family think that I;m unkind and wasting precious energy Gambling online.

I lost My Money

I Lost My Honey

And now I;m losing My Mind.
