In September 2019, I went for a gig in the saloons of the Ogc Nice stadium (remember the time when it was still possible !). The organizer arranged to meet us at the Burger King car park. I thought to myself, what a peculiar place for a rendez-vous? This inspired me this song.

En Septembre 2019, je suis allé faire un concert dans les salons du stade Ogc Nice (rappelez-vous l'époque où c'était encore possible !). L'organisateur nous a donné rendez-vous au parking du Burger King. Je me suis dit, quel drôle d'endroit pour un rendez-vous ? Cela m'a inspiré cette chanson.

BURGER KING BLUES

Je t’attendrais au parking,
Au parking du Burger King,
 Je porterais mon costume croisé ,
Tu sais celui qui te plait.

Baby, prends bien tes vitamines, 
On tracera loin, loin des abimes, 
Au volant de ma Cadillac ,
J’espère que t’es pas insomniaque.

Tu porteras une robe d’été,
 Cheveux de jais sur décolleté,
 Le temps s’arrête quand tu parais.
 
 Burger King Blues  (x2)

Je t’attendrais au parking,
Au parking du burger king,
 J'me mettrais peut’etre en smoking ,
Tu seras plus belle que j’l'imagine.

Tu sais pour moi c’est pas les Grenadines,
 Ni les weeks end aux Philippines,
 J'suis pas un prince de magazines

J’aimerai tant voir l’Italie,  
Aller plonger à Camogli ,
Flaner la nuit à Napoli.

Burger King Blues  (x2)

T’es jamais venue au parking,
Au parking du Burger King,
 Tout ca, tu sais, c’est dans les films, 
Du style Marilyn et James Dean.

T’es jamais venue au parking,
Au parking du Burger King,
 J’me sens comme une quille de Bowling,
 Tout seul au milieu du parking.

Like a Bowling Pin (x3)

Burger King Blues

Written for February 2022 monthly online songwriters meet-up  with 'Drunks In A Midnight Choir'. Prompt was to find one of the many (many, many) 6 word stories available out there on the internet and write a song. I used Apple loops and a midi keyboard to create the melody. (Headphones recommended to appreciate the juicy bass loop 😎) 

Kudos and thank you to Finley Parkinson from Longcroft School in Beverley for the six word story: 'Found her shoes on the roof.' (Read article about the 2019 competition here: https://firststory.org.uk/six-word-story-2019-shortlist-and-winner/)

Found her shoes
Up on the roof
But did she jump 
Or was she pushed?
Found her things
In a neat little pile
And when I asked around no one had seen her in a while

Found her shoes  
But did she jump or was she…
Pushed?

(She really loved those shoes)

They packed her room up
Parcelled it all away
Why she did it
No one ever would say
Glossed it over
Nothing happened that day
And when I asked her mum, she just looked the other way

Found her shoes 
But did she jump or was she…
Pushed?

(‘Cos she really loved those shoes
Man, I miss her and her shoes)

Did she jump, or was she…
Pushed?

Mental health can strike even the strongest. When it happens most people who struggle withdraw and avoid seeking help. Most people thinking that offering some advice will help. The path back to positive light can be long and grueling. People who need help, will need it in a sustained and loving way with lots of patience. This song tells the story of a path back to the light from someone who truly cares.
