TWO SELF-TAUGHT MUSICIANS
THAT LOVED AMERICAN ROCK AND ROLL
NAMED JOHN AND PAUL PERFORMED FIRST
OR THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD

THE ADDITION OF GEORGE AND RINGO 
MADE THE FAB FOUR BAND COMPLETE
THE BOYS WERE NOW READY TO GO
PERFORMIN' IN LIVERPOOL AND BEYOND

ATER RECORDING SOME ORIGINAL SONGS
AND PLAYIN' CLASSIC ROCK AND ROLL
ON MANY BBC RADIO PROGRAMS
THEY ROSE TO FAME IN ENGLAND 

AFTER APPEARING IN THE MOVIE
HARD DAYS NIGHT IN SIXTY FOUR
BEATLEMANIA SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD
AND PEOPLE WERE ASKIN' FOR MORE

WHEN I SAW GIRLS SCREAMIN'
WHILE THE BEATLES WERE PLAYIN'
ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW
I KNEW BEATLEMANIA
HAD MADE IT TO AMERICA

(GUITAR SOLO)

YEA, WHEN I SAW GIRLS SCREAMIN'
WHILE THE BEATLES WERE PLAYIN'
ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW
I KNEW BEATLEMANIA
HAD MADE IT TO AMERICA

Beatlemania - Lyrics by Tony - Featuring Glenny G's "One Man Band" - with Video LInk -Original

for an old mate.............cheers for having a listen


sometimes i don't feel like being the social kind
catchup with you another day
i just need some time away, hope you don't mind

i did my time, paid my dues
wiped away my tears, sang my blues
said my goodbyes, some much too late
went to sleep with the devil, woke up a saint

if i could i think i would, get far away so im never found
but then again i don't like flying
so i'll just keep my good foot on the ground

i fought too much, sometimes not enough
tried to smooth out the edges, when its naturally rough
i've buttoned my lip, then yelled so loud
hung my head, then never felt so proud

to be a loner

Loner

Roots  (Racines : à la suite en Français )

My dear brother , my Theo 
Thank you for your letter and the bill but it's too much
Since things are going well for you and yours 
What do we have to do with what is less so?
My dear brother , my Theo
You have your share in my work, my paintings 
which in the debacle keep their calm, and that's beautiful!

I risk my life in my work
my reason has half melted away.
I've already had bouts of madness
my condition must have worsened.

My dear brother, my Theo 
I'm a burden to you, for me it's too much 
You owe it to your son, to your family 
my painting will never be a source of profit. 
 
My dear brother , my Théo  
I'm sending you "Roots", my last painting.
I'm going to finish it with my blood
then die at the Ravoux: it's high time.


I'm risking my life for my work
my reason has half melted.
I've already had bouts of madness
my condition is only getting worse.  

My dear brother Theodore
lying beside me, what a comfort
you have joined me now in Auvers
where we rest, my brother, two feet under!

My work cost me my life
my sanity melted away
I had many fits of madness
my state was desperate.


Racines 

Mon cher frère , mon Théo 
Merci de ta lettre et du billet mais c’est trop
Puisque cela va bien  pour toi et les tiens 
Qu’avons nous à faire de ce qui l’est moins ?
Mon cher frère , mon Théo
Tu as  ta part dans mon oeuvre , mes tableaux 
qui dans la débâcle gardent leur calme , et c’est beau !

Mon travail à moi j’y risque ma vie
ma raison y a fondu à moitié .
J’ai déjà eu des accès de folie
mon état a du s’aggraver .

Mon cher frère , mon Théo 
Je suis une charge pour toi , pour moi s’en est trop 
Tu te dois à ton fils , à ta famille 
ma peinture ne sera jamais une source de profit . 
 
Mon cher frère , mon Théo  
je t’envoie  « Racines «  mon dernier tableau .
Je vais le terminer avec mon sang
puis mourrir chez les Ravoux  : il est grand temps .


Mon travail à moi j’y risque ma vie
ma raison y a fondu à moitié .
J’ai déjà eu des accès de folie
mon état ne fait que s’aggraver .  

Mon cher frère Theodore
allongé près de moi , quel réconfort
tu m’as rejoint à présent à Auvers
où nous reposons , mon frère , deux pieds sous terre !

Mon travail à moi m’a couté la vie
ma raison y a fondu en entier
J’ai eu de nombreux accès de folie
mon état était désespéré .

This is the latest in the Texas Tea series called 'Firstly'.  It's something I was working on and I got to a point where I felt it needed a kick.  So I said hmmm, self do you know anyone that plays killer synth and that might be open to adding something cool to this?  And of course I did.  Terry was kind enough to throw something together with short notice and I think it's great. 

The idea is the song is like drifting down a river but the river is not water it's the blood of innocent kittens - no it's not, it's not, relax. just seeing who reads all this,   it's a psychedelic river and as you float all these different sounds appear. It's a busy song but it is intentionally, so take your ADD meds and put on some headphones and see what happens !

Firstly

Firstly - w/ Tea R. Sea

He spent his whole life. He tried to do right
He gave them his best years. 
He worked late each night
He ruined his eyesight. 
Trying to get ahead

He was a company man through to the bone.  
He was always at work even when he was at home.
But like a commodity to be bought and liquidated
They had to let him go when the economy deflated

Hot prospects turn cold some say he’s too old
To start all over again
There’s too much free time he just can’t unwind
He’s forgotten how to play

He gave them his heart he gave them his soul  
and then they turned around and let him go
They said they had to watch the bottom line
It was getting pretty close to corporate bonus time
They said here’s wishing you the best of luck it’s nothing personal

He sits on a park bench smelling the stench 
of his broken dreams
And people they walk past no flags at half-mast 
for the demise of the company man

He was a company man through to the bone.  
He was always at work even when he was at home.
But like a commodity to be bought and liquidated
They had to let him go when the economy deflated
They had to let him go and now he needs to be sedated
He gave them his heart he gave them his soul  
and then they turned around and let him go
They said they had to watch the bottom line
It was getting pretty close to corporate bonus time
They said here’s wishing you the best of luck it’s nothing personal
They said here’s wishing you the best of luck it’s nothing personal

This first track of the backlog of the fictional witchpunk mannequin band The Cacklettes was created using a variety of tools, synths and instruments.

I am working on an album for this freaky lot. Why? Because it's a heck of a lot of fun. Trying to recreate some goth club memories from the 1990s. Building a band that should have been. It incorporates all sorts of elements from music I've experienced in various states of inebriation, leaving a lasting impact. And here I am sharing that experience.

Also, The Cacklettes are somewhat idealistic, and this here track really is reaching out to end the war (in anyone's soul), to cut divisiveness, to become human again. Rich, from a fictional mannequin band.
