EBCB (because those are the first four notes)

words and music by Brad Reddekopp

(The original version of this song was written in the early eighties and was re-written to correspond with my present experience and views.)

I spent so much time on you
Always looking for you
I lost so many years
Always looking for you
What a bloody waste of time
‘Cause you were never there

Empty promises and hope
Con men and liars
Honestly deluded
Con men and liars
And I was looking for you
But you were never there

Threats eternal and dire
If I didn’t follow you
Brimstone and fire
If I didn’t follow you
All that fear was in vain
‘Cause you were never there

Right

(The original version of this song, then called “Get In Your Car and Ride”, was written in the late seventies or early eighties and was too topical to survive the passage of time. Also, I couldn’t remember all the original lyrics. 😉

Loud guitars and bangin’ drums
Smokin’ amplifier hums
Vocal cords are overworked
Stand back or ya might get hurt

These chords are filled with fire
Rockin’ rollin’ band for hire
Say what we wanna say
And then the owner better have our pay

Yeah right
Gonna be all right
We could play all night
Right, right

Don’t give a shit what’s in the charts
Gotta play it from the heart
Pop tarts got nothin’ to say
And we’re gonna play it our way

Hairy, dirty rockin’ band
You can tell it might not go as planned
Let us take you for a ride
You can come along or run and hide

Yeah right
Gonna be all right
We could play all night
Right, right

Yeah right
Gonna be all right
We could play all night
Right, right

Right
Gonna be all right
Gonna sound real tight
Right, right

Right
Theme, curtain, lights
Gonna hit the heights
Right, right

Right
Bloody right it’s right
Effin’ outa sight
Right, right
