Thanks Murry, as Helen pointed out, it's tune is also (more) known as "One Of The Has-Beens" & in the DT, if that helps. The chorus melody repeats itself, my chorus is twice as long as the "Has-Beens". As to what I planed on doing with this, not a clue, I only wanted to express myself.
Thanks Ireland O'Reilly, I'm in the process of straighting it out (tense,grammer, perspective & etc). I would long for any comments from a scholor of English, probaly my worse (sp. correctly) subject at the Hard Knocks Academy. My son was diagnosed with Tourette's a few years ago, which lead to a different neurological diagnosis for myself, although completely unaware it explained alot. Being recently in a wheelchair for 6 months, gave me an insite into the worlds of the invisible & visibly impaired. The veiw here is from a child of any impairment but mostly from son's, as I'm seeing his world through his eyes. Those with O.C.D. (obsessive Compulsive Disorder, sorry about the missing D above), Manic Depression, A.D.D., Tourette's, Anxiety-Panic Disorder, Post-Trama, or any other neurological or hidden handicap, are frequently misdiagnosed or brushed off suspiciously with the term psyco-babble or criminals trying to take advantage of one system or another.
Helen, thanks for pointing out it's "One Of The Has-Beens" it seems I did know that years ago, but one of the guys I sing with recorded it as "Awkward As A New Chum" & I was singing this to myself, the line 'But you may not believe me, for I can't do it now' kept gnawing at me when I began to bring that line to the thoughts of impairments (I was also thinking of my son), the use of the tune was intentional. I don't know if I can even sing it, never mind record it, I can't even get though reading it to my wife. I will copywrite (when I figure out how) it, but you're more welcome to use it when it's finished, with credit. I'll e-mail it to you if you'd like.
Again, thanks all for your responses. Barry Finn
