I wrote this on the fly when Technolgy failed at the pub and me and my harmonica was the only thing in the house making a noise. Sung it all the way home to remember it. In E.

Strictly a demos only performer <br />Jam at live gigs sometimes and have a whole lotta fun doing it
I am writer, and general Mister Nice Guy. I am not a performer but manage to squeak out stuff good enough for others to hear and do better with. Lucky for you lot. I get a few other people to sing and play some of my stuff. I do make Karaoke tracks of my songs and perform them every Saturday night, trotting twix the two local pubs that do karaoke. I have a whole heap more fun than doing covers all the time. Most weeks having at least one new song to try out on the punters. Have seven recorded and getting airplay. And not only on my show Roar Radio either. Backing music for Born To Be Blue is now on a video showing the Esperance service providers. Out soon. More later.

A Desperate Man Copyright © Graham Henderson APRA 2007 I’m five cents from poverty. And five dollars from a feed. I’m way past simply wanting. And fast approaching need. The last meal I ate. Came from a trash can. It wasn’t great but I ate it. I am a desperate man. My harmonica and my songs. Are the only tools I own. Every thing else I had. Has been stolen lost or blown. So I stand on street corners. Wailing to an empty can. Hoping some one will recognise. I am a desperate man. Instrumental A desperate man still has pride. But hides it very well. The average mark passing by. Prob’ly couldn’t tell. Inside every bum. They’ll ever come across. A desperate man resent the coins. He hopes they’re gonna toss. Don’t throw me sideways glances. As you hurry by. Any coin at all will do. Thrown in this can of mine. I don’t accept checks. Or shares in a gold mine. But I am a desperate man, so. Credit cards will be fine.
