Liner Notes

Probably closer to Night Ranger in style, but like the song says, I’ll give you what I got.

Lyrics

I was supposed to be leaving
On the 6:34
The cupboard looks like
I don’t live here anymore
But of course I can hold out
Just a few more days
It won’t cost a dime
To stay in the same old place

Let yourself in
If you want to see my plight
And if it gets dark
Then I will turn on a light
If I’m still sitting here
It shows that I’ve lost my touch
I’ll give you what I got
As long as you don’t expect much

I’ve only got bits and pieces
Only got bits and pieces

What’s become of the world
If the trains can’t get themselves running
I had big dreams
It seems like they came up with nothing
If there is another way
Somebody say what it’s worth
Otherwise I’m waiting here
At the ends of the Earth

Let yourself in
If you want to see my plight
And if it gets dark
Then I will turn on a light
If I’m still sitting here
It shows that I’ve lost my touch
I’ll give you what I got
As long as you don’t expect much

I’ve only got bits and pieces
Only got bits and pieces
I’ve only got bits and pieces
Only got bits and pieces

Bits and pieces

A very lonely lyric and the sparse guitar part brings me to that solitude.

This paints a really compelling picture and I love the guitar riff. Those first few lines do a great job setting the scene and drawing you in.

Cool guitar riff right off. Interesting lyrics. Catchy chorus. Toe tapping for sure. Cheers, Smudge

I really like the lines 'I had big dreams
It seems like they came up with nothing' good write!

@andygriff 1d

Great twangy guitar sound on this and it's a very fine lyric. It sounds like one you should keep working on and it will only fit together better the more you play it. Excellent skirmish 👌

Oh wow… this is really poignant and powerful in the depth of emotion and hardship you convey. Your wonderfully paced aggressive strum riff and melodic nuances work really well to deliver the message.
