From the age of 15 when I first stepped into the world of employment I was told it would be a major advantage to get a job that lasted through to the State retirement age of 65. At the time I'll admit it was not something I took at all seriously.  When you’re that age, the last thing on your mind is bloody retirement.   

However, by the time I reached my early 50’s and had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my mind became a little more concentrated on reaching what might now  conceivably prove to be an eminently missable target.  In the interim, the UK government decided that, given the population was living considerably longer than it once had, they would incrementally be raising the retirement age, meaning that mine now became 66. 

Our dear old Nan was a dedicated Bingo player and knew that number callers used particular phrases for certain numbers, one of the best known being 66, known as  ‘Clickety Click’.  So reaching pensionable age became inextricably linked to Bingo, hence the title and subject matter of this song.   

The number one - ‘Kelly’s Eye’ - seemed a good place to start and having done some fascinating research, I worked my way through the Bingo calls, choosing the ones whose scansion worked best, until I reached the magic ‘Clickety Click'.  

As the chorus explains, there were no guarantees I’d actually get there, it was just a target.  But I did get there and this song celebrates the fact.  

The song ends with the traditional exclamation of the player who has won the game, being either ‘House!’ or ‘Bingo!’.  When I was recording the vocals, my constant and beautiful companion Marvin (it is he who is pictured in the cover art) reacted to my shouts with a loud bark, perfectly in time, so we decided to keep it in.  Marv is with me at 99% of the recordings and enjoys being involved when the opportunity presents.

As always, huge thanks to the wonderful Hans Albers for another brilliant backing track which is, as I think you’ll agree, perfect for the song.  That man is a genius.
Thanks so much for listening.   (Terry Reeves)


It all started with Ned Kelly’s eye (1)
A cup of tea (3) to stop going dry
Tom Mix (6) wearing hat, riding fast
Monkey’s cousin (12) hanging, trying to last
Key of the door (21), two little ducks (22)
Paid half a crown (26), keep up the luck
In a state (28), rise and shine (29) but alive
One dirty knee (33) to help jump and jive (35)

Sixty six not to preconceive
Sixty six, a target to achieve

Half way to laugh, more than eleven (37)
As life begins (40), time for fun (41) isn’t heaven
Up to tricks (46) towards four dozen (48)
Five-0, Five-0, it’s off to work (50) with percussion
Danny la Rue (52), a man at the door (54)
The snakes are alive (55) but don’t wriggle more
Shotts bus (56) to Scotland, check the sign
Variety of Heinz (57) to the Brighton Line (59)

Sixty six not to preconceive
Sixty six a target to achieve

A baker’s bun (61) all tickety boo (62)
Tickle me (63), almost retired (64) laughing too
Retirement age(65), it should have been fun
Clickety click (66), getting paid
Take the money and run  
Route 66, nearly there
Clickety click, the sound of my wheelchair

This is my latest track "MONOPOLY" and it's based on FREEDOM being monopolized by Politicians, Corporations & Elites Worldwide.

Vocals, Lyrics & Production by RadBabyJoe.

LYRICS:

It's a Monopoly... (repeat)

Roll the Dice, Lose or Win,
It's all a Game.
But they hold the keys and we're
Chained to their name.

It's a Monopoly... (repeat)

They say we're Free to walk,
Free to chose our own path,
Free to chose our road.

But every step I take,
Feels like it’s like it’s full of wrath,
Feels like a debt that's owed.

So here's to the DREAMERS,
Who refuse to Play.

To the one's who break FREE,
Find their own way.

Maybe One Day,
We'll crack this Code.

And FREEDOM won't be something,
We're SOLD!

It's a Monopoly... (repeat)

Monopoly

Fading memory

“Bird song'' is a song from my first album''Follow in my Eyes''
Original song is written ,played, sang by Chihiro MATSUMOTO. 
This version is arranged  by JEEM @phoenixz-1-299253742 
The original version is a simple acoustic song ( just only my guitar and vocal),but this version is much more spiritual and powerful by his arrangement
( especially rhythmic and ambient element)
I feel his sound colour is very clear blue. 
I and JEEM will be happy if you would comment how you feel .
Thank you so much for listening from us two!

lyrics
(I'm)feeling to remember always,  
standing now at the heaven's door all alone
( I )can't see....
No voices....
just another day in the dream

(I'm)feeling to remember always,  
standing now ,feeling your love
Life is good
In my life, just another day in the dream

Everything for me
You can do to stay with
The rain is coming for now
Cos' every fire
we can do to try''end''
let me know it's gone
Everything for me
And I know to say''I do''
I let you go  ... I let you go

Birdsong (collab. with JEEM)

I'm not trying to be famous, I'm just trying to make MUSIC!

I’d like to Thank everyone who’s taken the time to listen to my tracks and left a comment. I really appreciate the positive feedback and am truly humbled. There is room for everyone on this platform and supporting each other is what makes us ALL, feel heard. 

Spread Peace ☮️ & Love 💕 around the 🌎WORLD.
