The Lyrics

I bought my first real four-string
it was a blue Squier P
Tuned it, and plugged on amplifier
played riff and melody -

Me and some - gals from the college
got together at my dad's garage
When we hauled the amps and the drums in
my momma freaked and started to cry -

"Sue! No way, that just won't do -
Your noise just seems to break our nerves, and
think about your studies too -
and what about the ears of your old man?"
Those were some rantings of my mom

Can't do no practise as a bass lass
When you got the labs to do
Spent my days in library and in class
In the evenings I played song or two -

Deep down at the dad's garage
He told "you girls could play together" -
Oh and when we had that band -
I knew that it was now or never -
Those were some dear words of my dad

Back in Summer of '89

Mom, we were playing fine
We were young and geeky
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, no

And now the times have been changing
Look at the things that's come and gone
Somethimes when I play that blue four-string
I think about and wonder what I've become -

Typing on the Am-I-Right
spoofing 'nother song, to say
Oh, and when I get it rhyme
I wish that I had done it that day
These are the songs I wish I'd played!

Back in the Summer of '89!

Sweet story. You know, it's never too late to pick it up again. The world needs more chicks who can rock.

Very nostalgic. If you play as well as you write, it will be music to the ears. 545

Jon, if I only was a chick anymore... the chick has grown into a hen. I graduated, I got married, I have 9-to-5 job and nothing is as pathetic as a woman past 30 who wants to re-live her teens. But I do still have that bass, and I still play bass and guitar, and perhaps I'm never too old to rock and roll again. Hmm... Finnish Idols competition - do they approve bands?
