DAVE’S AUSTRALIA DAY ADVENT JUKEBOX #14
Much as I like the original recording it wasn’t exactly as I heard the song in my head. Finally in 2017 I recorded WHEN and the song as I’d wanted. (just hit the title for the video)
I’ve packed my bags and I’ve sold the amp
I’m moving out of rock
I’ve got the makings of a tennis champ
And so I’m bound for Wimbledon
All this decay is stifling me
Too much drugs and booze
And so I’m bound for Wimbledon
Where I cannot lose
The backhand volley and the forehand smash
The lovely ladies and the prize in cash
Rock is dying but I’m going to live
It’s not taking me down with it
The basic thing that appeals to me
The racquet doesn’t lie
Unlike this racket called an industry
Cause it makes stars like Wimbledon
ART BY DAVE ROSEBut half the stars are charlatans
Most of the rest are dead
And so I’m bound for Wimbledon
To grace the net instead
The backhand volley and the forehand smash
The lovely ladies and the prize in cash
Rock is dying but I’m going to live
