"Glitter and Steel"
To the members of My New Band
I was sitting home alone,
Had a cold one in my hand,
My ol’ drummer calls me up,
“Wanna join a Band?”
“I don’t know, Don’t think so,
The last one went so well...”
He said “Come on guy, Give it a try,
We are really starting to gel”
“Well I know I’m broke, that aint no joke,”
As I clinch my fist,
“I’ll blow the dust off my Bass,
So send me your song list.”
“Stop Dragging My Heart Around”
“I’m Yours” “Bittersweet”
“When Will I Be Loved”
“Pride and Joy” “Crazy” “Creep”
Raise Above This" “Wicked Game”
“Should I Stay or Should I Go?”
“I’m Here for the Party”...
“You Oughta Know”
“Leave the Pieces” “Pretty Woman”
“Picture” “Break up Song”

John Cougars “Cherry Bomb”
“Your no Good” “Mary Jane”
“You Really Got Me” “Tush”
“Long Cool Woman” “China Girl”

We could even do some Merle.
We don’t know “The Whiskey,

But maybe ..."Tequila"?
Will get you on the floor.

“This Love”... Maroon 5
“Stuck in the Middle”
By Stealers Wheel,
The Name of the Band is
“Glitter and Steel”
Trisha has her high heeled shoes,
Kathy has new “Bling,”
They really don’t need it,
'Cause Lord these Girls can sing!
Brian has his Marshall speaker,
With a P.V. Head,
Mark looks like a resurrected,
Fan of “Grateful Dead”
I show up with Beer in hand,
Like a Damn disgrace,
“The Black Sheep of the Family”
Thumping on my Bass.
Wednesday evening outside gig,
Our eyes are on the sky,
The Drummer sets up early,
Right after work we fly,
We pull into the parking lot,
In a vertical downpour,
Mark’s drums can hold ten gallons,
But not a Damn drop more!
Here we are, all on time,
As they postpone the show...
Standing here all dressed up,
With nowhere to go.
