Dude, this song gets me in the gut every time I listen to it, geez....

I love you, you're "The Boss" to me. Thank you, Eric. 👍

Great song, sounds like Down or Mad Season, nice one

You picked a stirring subject though I expect the memory picked you in this case and you deliver the recollection so well. Durge

Stopped me dead in my tracks…beautiful and moving!

As a young kid in Florida a friends Mother and Little brother were brutally murdered - This is my recollection........

The gifts' in the song Michelle.........
When i was just a kid at 6 years old - i kissed a girl who's mother died that night I'm told - the devil took her brother and her soul - i heard her little brother was just 4 years old - and she was at her grandma's safe and sound - days went by i watched she never came around - she was left to endure this pure hell - i wonder what happened to poor Michelle
Kids around the neighborhood would go - around the house to watch the police show - Taped off from the porch to the stairs - bloodstained like all my tears 
for forty years i dreamed about calling you taking you out but i was so afraid yeah i was so afraid - and all this time i sat around - praying that you'd be found but I'm still so afraid that i won't know what to say Michelle
I wish that i could call you on the phone - to let you know you've never ever been alone - Never had the nerve to do so - and I've kept a secret you deserve to know - that night on Christmas eve i was there - i saw your mothers husband walking up the stairs - I had a gift to give to you that night - your mom said you weren't home with terror in her eyes - How could i have known i was just a kid - I almost told my mom oh god i wish i did - Instead i went about my Christmas eve - watching Jesus getting tortured on TV - My soul cried out for him as he was beat - and i forgot about the monster who was down the street - morning saw your mama on the screen - same eyes as the night before that keep on haunting me
for forty years i dreamed about calling you taking you out but I was so afraid - yeah I was so afraid - and all this time i sat around - praying that you'd be found - but I'm still so afraid - that i won't know what to say Michelle......
Since i could never right this wrong for you - I decided i should write a song for you- One day maybe you'll turn the radio on - and my gift will echo throughout the lyrics of this song - Just know that i have always been with you - though i never had the guts to come find you - that kiss was my first oh what it meant to me - So long ago would you remember me - cause i remember everything so clear - the softness of you lips that day you disappeared - the feeling that i felt for you my friend - the longing just to kiss you once again - though life has passed i feel it till this day Sometimes at night i still can see you face - and dark thoughts seem to set my mind adrift - before it's too late Michelle i need you have this gift
for forty years i dreamed about calling you taking you out but i was so afraid yeah i was so afraid - and all this time i sat around - praying that you'd be found but I'm still so afraid that i won't know what to say Michelle

Nannette's Minuet in Cm

Electra's Minuet In Cm

"Operation Pinball" is an explosion of raw energy that captures the fury and frustration of a generation teetering on the brink. It's a song for headbangers and fist-pumpers, a soundtrack for the neon-drenched nights and steel-plated mornings of the aging kids of the 1980s.  Buzzsaw guitars slam like fists against steel, a rhythmic hammer blow driving aggressive lead lines fueled by nitro brew and pure adrenaline cascading and weaving like a chaotic pinball careening through a dystopian funhouse.

This is a little bit like the Everly Brothers version of Lucille but a bit heavier. I have used mostly the original lyrics as well as some in Everly brothers version and half a line of my own.

PS I love Little Richard's original version...Albert Collins and Little Richard wrote the song in 1956. It was recorded on 30th July 1956. Happy 67th birthday Lucille!

Words

Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
No no no no no Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
There ain't nothing to you but I love you still

Lucille, please, come back where you belong
Lucille, please, come back where you belong
I've been good to you, baby, please don't leave me alone

When I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked my friends about her but all their lips were tight

Lucille, please, come back where you belong
I've been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone

Break

When I woke up this morning, you were not in sight
I asked my friends about you but you'd taken off that night

Lucille, you don't do your daddy's will
There ain't nothing to you but I love you still

Lucille, please, come back where you belong
Lucille, please, come back where you belong
I've been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone
