Three quarters of the way done. *whew* This is another skirmish song. An hour to write a song after given an announced title. I'm beginning to like those songs. It's good to write about subjects that normally don't touch your life.

I met you in the evening
I met you in the night
You said you'd give me a good time
You said you'd make it all right

I promise not to
Become abusive
I tell you my name
You tell me yours
Your my flower
My Lilac in the dark

You were standing on the corner
Down on 12th street and vine
I love those clothes you were wearing
We both had a good time

A hundred dollars

I promise not to
Become abusive
I tell you my name
You tell me yours
Your my flower

Cool tune, love in those heavy chords really drives it along,getting a kind of Hendrix vibe in the chorus. Another great tune just keep them coming.

Great sounding sixties-style rocker, T.C.! Amazing how you can crank these out so quickly, and that is some sweet lead guitar.

Great take on the skirmish title, T.C.  :) Though I missed that particular occasion, I love the skirmishes as well. Amazing what gets pulled out of the creative depths under pressure of time.  ;D

Really nice work here.

Honour the earth. Without it, we'd be nowhere.

Life is too important to take seriously.

Now this sounds like an old Neil Young song to me, Zuma era Neil.  Great stuff.
