Hi everyone
I don't what happened here
Monday had no idea about a song
Tuesday was writting a love song
Wednesday went blank again
Thursday this dribbled out
That was my week so far
Midnite Oil ( agreat Aussie band ) is how I can imangine this song being sung and played .. If you don't know the band , "Do yourself a favour and google the name and have a listen ....
Its' a protest song about the ever increasing price of oil around the world ever notice when the price of oil goes up the price of fuel goes up that very day , but when it comes down the fuel price don't .....
Same can be said for intrest rates with our banking insitutions goes up by 1% comes down 1/4 of a percent ...
Well enough is enough is all I can say .. hope I am not being political here but we must voice our disgust some how , and this is my way of letting the world know I am pi$$ed off with this situation ...
The bold parts are screamed bugger singing it loudly scream it .....
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
They take our lives for granted
Please listen to what I say
They want to hold our lives to ransom
Their price too high to pay
They can infect our minds
And destroy our lives
But they will never
NO THEY'LL NEVER
NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM
Working for the man I can understand
Paying the dues for the life we choose
But enough is enough tell em to get stuffed <-------(cleaned up )
We're not buying your oil any more
They can infect our minds
And destroy our lives
But they will never
NO THEY'LL NEVER
NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
----------------------------------------------------------------
Where is says cleaned up...
my original word started with F and sounds like luck
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
I know who Midnight Oil is. I had them singing in my head as I read your lyrics.
"But enough is enough tell em to get stuffed <-------(cleaned up )"
Maybe just reverse it--
Tell them to get stuffed. Enough is enough.
good rant song, our dependance on oil is ridiculous, they got us by the gas gauge, sing it loud.

Hey Trevor this is great, I can just hear Peter Garrett singing this (I didn't realise he was an MP now).
The 1st verse is really good and drew me right in to the song, and the chorus is just as good. I agree with Joe on the swapping around of that line. Mate I think this is one of your inspired creations well done.
Paul
Thanks for the feed back guys ...
Yeah after reading your replies I should not have worried about being politically correct as sometimes , one must say it as it is ....
I was a bit concerned it maybe lacking a verse and a bridge but I kept going over this over and over and still kept comeing up with nothing more and singing it in my head there was big a drum solo and a guitar going off madly .. So words could not be used .. Gee I wish I could play whats in my head ....
Paul thanks for commmeent :Mate I think this is one of your inspired creations well done
cheers
Trevor
side note: If everyone in the world did not purchase fuel for a week the oil barons would be forced to lower the price to where it was only a few years ago ....
Thoughts like that would make it a cheaper place to live ...
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
With Trevors permission Ive recorded my interpretation of this inspired song.
You can hear it here

WOW
That is a bloody terrific version of what I had ..
I really enjoyed listening to your vocals Paul ...
And that guitar wow mate I have never heard you play like that before awesome mate just bloody awesome ...
I down loaded it and burnt on to CD and belted it out of my stereo ( hi-fi)
mmmm yeah
You have blown me away completely twice now ....
Trevor
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Nice Work Guys
You should both be proud of this one.
I agree with Trevor this is really different from what we are use to
hearing from you Paul. I love it when these collaborations come
together so well.

I was pretty happy when I wrote my song I thought it was fairly good Paul created a real sound and re-worded some it ..And it now really rocks with out Paul this is just words , so I can't thank him ENOUGH ... :lol:
Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Thanks guys,
I've never really written a heavy rocker, so when I saw what Trevor had written I could see that it had great potential as a rocker, I thought the “Enough is enough†line was an excellent hook just the ticket for a chorus. The extra words are just padding really to fit music, I think (hope) that I have kept the message of the song although I know the specific reference to fuel is not there anymore.
Trevor I'm glad you liked it. As for a departure from my normal style, true but I'm always keen on trying something different.
Cheers
Paul
