Keeping This

[Ray Brookes]

You can take the lounge and the dining table
You can rip the carpet off the floor
You can take all the cutlery and the crockery too
You can even take the paint off the door.
You can take the books, the records, the CD's
All the loose change we saved in the jar
You can take anything that you think you need
But I'm keeping this electric guitar.

You can take the lawn-mower, trimmer and tools
You can even take the garden shed
Take all your clothes and your father's urn
You can take the sheets, blankets and the bed
You can take the computers and the printers too
Take whatever will fit in your hands
You can take anything that you think you need
But I'm keeping this Steinway Grand.

You can take all the fittings, ornaments and photos
Take all the pictures hanging on the wall
Take the weights, the treadmill, the rowing machine
And take that stupid exercise ball
Take your memories and your scent and your presence
Even take the house and the car
You can take anything that you think you need
But I'm keeping this Lee Oscar harp.

Wow! This is epic. Great concept, immaculate production, killer tones, and magnificent playing. Love that how that Mozart bit got woven in - really, really clever. Hugely entertaining and a brilliant musical journey.

[Ferryman_1957]

What a clever song Ray, a story that most musos would empathise with! It's brilliantly done, I love the way you end each section and the section at the end after the harp is a real blast. Brilliant playing and superb production, and a hugely enjoyable listen. Well done!
