Late night pub thoughts on the theme of success and anonymity to be recited or sung to rambling blues guitar -

                  It was late one night , or early in the morning and we were sitting drinking playing                           some chess and we talked about success and anonymity how good it was not to be                             known   (   l i ke  true  losers ) AND HOW DANGEROUS  fame can be W e
                  thought about those well known casualties we thought about Oscar Wilde  John Lennon
                 Jim M orrison  Jimmy Hendrix  Amy  Winehouse Janis Joplin Marilyn Monroe  Malcolm
                 Lowry Jack Kerouac A Rimbaud .................                                  






                                                P u b    thoughts 



                      You  reach  the top

                       your life will stop                      


                        Your much sought fame

                         eternal shame


                        Success  is  sweet

                        fools you will meet


                         
                        When you are known

                         the bird has flown


                       First they thrill you

                        then they kill you


                        You think they care

                       your worst nightmare


                       A  bankrupt  age

                        live  out your rage


                       The way is long

                       dont lose your song


                      Dont let the booze

                       become your muse


                      Go  to the bars

                     but watch the stars


                   and remember


                   Your  elation is


                   your  sole   soul  salvation


                         your  elation
