Before I Die

Scary Dreams

So I found these lyrics by my brother Martin A. Egan and I thought it's about time we got around to writing a song together. I think he would have liked it.

Black Rickenbacker - (Lyrics by Martin A. Egan)

Pubs and clubs are not my style
But the words of Oscar drive me Wilde
I don’t do tabloids or gazettes
But i never met a book that i didn’t like yet

Sci-fi, fantasy, poetry, crime 
That’s where you’ll find me most of the time
To feed my addiction I’ll take anything
From Philip Roth to Doris Lessing

[Chorus]
I’m a bookworm, that’s what I do
Sittin’ on the sofa with a novel or two
Yeah I’m a bookworm and all I need
Is a body with a brain who likes a damn good read

No place for e-books on my screen
A big pile of paper that’s my dream
Stick your emails text and chat
But find me a manuscript I’ll read that

I knew when I met you in the library
That I’d like you and you’d like me
Now I’m not one to judge a book by the cover
But I just did, now you’re my lover

[Chorus]
I’m a bookworm, that’s what I do
Sittin’ on the sofa with a novel or two
Yeah I’m a bookworm and all I need
Is a body with a brain who likes a damn good read

 [Inst]

Hardy, Johnson, Dickens, Pepys
The kind of books you buy for keeps
Austen, Bronte, Milton, Joyce
Classic stories that’s my choice

Rushdi, Carey, Atwood, Clancy
Just the thing to take your fancy
Come on now browse through my shelf
Don’t like what you see? Then write one yourself

[Chorus]
I’m a bookworm, that’s what I do
Sittin’ on the sofa with a novel or two
Yeah I’m a bookworm and all I need
Is a body with a brain who likes a damn good read

I Love You - The WrinklePickers

The WrinklePickers are a band.  There are five of us. Two are known on the comedy circuit as Brian & Krysstal the musical comedy duo. I play guitar and sing silly songs while Krysstal rattles things and harmonises. We both write songs. We spent years playing covers in places we didn't want to be.  Now it's time to have FUN! We finally found a double bass player who likes to show off... Ian (Basswhore) Newman and Paul Eccentric, a percussionist with washboard, pots and pans and various other kitchen utensils (in fact everything but the kitchen sink)  Their poetic alter ego is  "The Antipoet"  Google them!    And finally, the criminally good lead guitar of Johnny Cash-Furgold. Our next gig is @ The Grey Horse in Kingston on Saturday 8th March 2014  It will be FUN!     Hillbilly - Rockabilly - Bluegrass - Country... ish    That's where we live.
