about

Workhouse Blues. Written circa 1975, a ballad that is a loose romanticise parody of unemployment in the 1970's, to the impoverished of earlier times.

lyrics

Love me babe
Love me now
We can do it
We can make it somehow

Riding on a
Silver Bird
And Writing lyrics
No ones ever heard

Talking about Workhouse Blues
Though we ain't even got no shoes on our feet
We can dance
Yes we can dance

See the clock
Hanging on the wall
Tells a story
Of us all
We can dance
Yes we can dance

Talking about Workhouse Blues
Though we ain't even got no shoes on our feet
We can dance
Yes we can dance

Love me babe
Love me now
We can do it
We can make it somehow

Riding on a
Silver Bird
And Writing lyrics
No ones ever heard

KCJ RAR York, UK

KCJ RAR's Project Retoons, recreating my songs from the 70's and 80's, layering vocals, guitars and virtual instruments to create classic rock numbers that never were; symphonic prog epics that could have been; and avant-garde psychedelic art rock grooves that surely fill a gap in music history!
In short, a lot of fun reliving my youth.
