Work Slave

[thetworegs]

Poor old Reg is down in the dumps and has started comparing his life to those of others more successful ...the go getter's in life...which poor old Reg has never really been one don't get me wrong he works hard but it always seems to be for someone elses pocket............got the Acoustic out for this one and even used a capo on the 3rd fret ....listen me almost sound like a musician..........

Today i'm a dreamer
tomorrow i'm just a fool
i'm the man who's done nothing with his life
apart from be someone else's tool
am i just a fool
just a fool
someone else's tool
someone else's tool

life is drifting away
i cant help it
i cant stop
i'm afraid i'll break it
i don't know what to do
i don't know how to fake it
i don't know what i want or where to go
i don't know what id rather do
i just don't know what i gotta gotta do

life is an internal secret to me
somebody told me in a dream
somebody put something in my ear
and buzz buzz it turned to a scream
i don't know what i gotta do
i don't know what i got to do
don't know what i got to do
to be like you

i've been watching you people as you walk on by
i understand that im afraid
but you look so confident in what you do everyday
how did you do it, where did you find your dream
why did want to do what you do what you do today
why did you want to do all those things anyway
How do you seem to enjoy everything that you do or touch is good
why can't i be somebody instead of somebody else's tool
why do i have to be a slave
Why do i have to be unlike you
why can't i be like you you you and you you you you
why can't i be like you you you you


Today im a dreamer
tomorrow i'm a fool
im the man who's done nothing with his life
apart from be someone elses tool
am i just a fool
just a fool, just a fool

life is just drifting away from me
i cant help it
i cant stop
i'm afraid i'll break it
i don't know what to do
i just can't fake it
i don't know what i want or where i want to go
i don't know what id rather do
i don't know know know
i don't know
Life is a dream,Slave Life is a dream
That makes me want to scream
Makes me want to scream

Music & Lyrics Reg

[Hook]

Rock On brother!

[Bluesberry]

Nice one Reg-man, real nice.  You are indeed a musician.  A very soulful cool one at that.  I am very fortunate to have your music streaming through my day.  Thanks for all the great music buddy.  This one really grooves my boat.

[Oldrottenhead]

nice one reg, one i can relate too.

[Tangled Wires]

nice one reg, one i can relate too.

me too!

The guitar playing the higher octave melodic parts has an almost mandolin sound to it, its fabulous, and combined with the main acoustic rhythm it creates such a warm layer of sound.

Really like to way your vocal goes up and down in range throughout, you really do create some wonderful dynamics in your songs with that voice.

[Gnasty]

[Redler]

Loved the powerful vocals! The panned guitars sounds very cool! Fine job on songwriting as well!

[Greeny]

This is damn good, Reg. Not only can I relate to the lyric, the performance carries real intensity and soul. The guitar work is just perfect... has the 'Battle of Evermore' folk feel, and almost gives a mandolin quality (as already pointed out!). Love it!

[Hilary]

Reggie you can do stuff with your voice that most people and only dream of and the guitar sounds fabulous. I had a conversation with my husband about this subject only the other day, where I asked if he thought I was underachieving and he said "yeah probably!"

You are a constant inspiration

[Kenny B]
