I Wish I'd Worn that Dress (Lyrics)
Created by Kathryn BERRY feb 16, 2016

You sat down beside me after your show/
With those beautiful eyes, however shallow/
You asked me for advice/
What to do with your pretty little life/
That sort of implied/
I knew what to do with mine/

Chorus
Now I wish I’d worn that dress you told me not to/
I wish I’d kissed that guy in front of you /
I wish I’d kicked you in the teeth, ya the front two/
But most of all I wish I hated you!/

You poured your spirit into mine/
With bitter darkness and Slavic wine/
I thought I knew you like I knew myself/
My eyes glistened in your beauty’s wealth/
then I fell into my own little trap/
Cause I heard them say you wouldn’t go home with that/
She’s not pretty and she’s not cool/
She’s nothing like you/
Chorus/
Now I wish I’d worn that dress you told me not to/
I wish I’d kissed that guy in front of you /
I wish I’d kicked you in the teeth, ya the front two/
But most of all I wish I hated you!/



The next night you sat with another girl/
And enveloped her in your magical world/
I thought you didn’t even remember my name/
Until you got up on that stage/
where you split my soul/
Tore my heart out through my throat/
Swallowed it whole/
With every beautiful note/
And …
Now I wish I’d worn that dress you told me not to/
I wish I’d kissed that guy in front of you/ 
I wish I’d kicked you in the teeth, ya the front two/
But most of all I wish I hated you!/

What was that line you used?/
The one that got me all confused/
Something like ‘til death do us part/
Is that why you put a bullet through my heart?/

I Wish I'd Worn That Dress

Time is running out

They're Coming For You

'White Cat' by Acoustic Growl (Richard Barry)

'White Cat'

It has been brutally hot this summer across most of the US and especially in Texas.  I thought I would do my part to cool things off a bit with a little ditty in an Irish style;  a toast to over 10k listens, and you the cherished listener:) Cheers!

An Irish Toast

Rebelled
Why should I complain – Who’s gonna listen anyway – Help me through this pain – she said she would – but she’s gone everyday……
Battle off these demons - each a different kind of way – pour another whiskey – it seems to help me along the way
Where should I begin – when I tell you my life story – do I fabricate – and embellish on false glory’s there’s no friggen way – I’m gonna tell it straight – and just deal with the repercussions – admissions of my truths will set me free – but they’re sure to set me back…….
Chorus
Cause up till now – you’ve really gotten nowhere – A subtle change – and your chaos could be quelled – And you could fix it all – if you only could remember – just who it was – and the reason you Rebelled
So many faces slanted different ways, as if I’m a fool – My Christ he gave me clarity and I see right through – Humanity is cruel.. – Imagine for a second that you could never lie – that would change so many things – but would probably erase your life! 
Chorus
Cause up till now – you’ve really gotten nowhere – A subtle change – and your chaos could be quelled – And you could fix it all – if you only could remember – just who it was – and the reason you Rebelled!
Got a million friends – but not one who I can turn to –  slice of my darkness they’ll never see – I’ll keep him chained – with empty eyes – I set forth back on this journey – and though my load is huge – what I got left I’ll still give to you
Chorus
Cause up till now – you’ve really gotten nowhere – A subtle change – and your chaos could be quelled – And you could fix it all – if you only could remember – just who it was – and the reason you Rebelled!

Thank you so much for all your comments on this instrumental, which are greatly appreciated. People have expressed an interest in the various tunings I use on different songs so I thought I would add a few explanatory notes.
The guitar I play on this track is my Taylor 714CE - in DADGAD tuning (all tuned down a half step).

Springtime

a tune I made many years ago, repeat to not forget.

Better days

Some pickin and some strummin on two Martin dreadnoughts and a thinline Telecaster

There She Goes

A fun collaboration of a song by Willie Dixon, made when my friend Tanya was in her last days of the 14 day quarantine in a hotel in Tasmania. She recorded some drums and finger cymbals on her phone and we stitched this blues classic together. 

A few additions are still needed when we get together in the home studio in person.

SPOONFUL  ft Tanya Catelli on drums & Chris O banjo

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
