RETRO pop songs --- from another millennium and another galaxy.
My name's Pete. from Birmingham in UK-land. Nice to meet you ! I made a lot of very varied popsongs in the pre-digital age. I say they're McCartneyish, as I don't know how to categorize them. Allsorts. The description I use is RETRO I'm really a songwriter who wants others to perform these songs. So please bear that in mind as you grimace at my efforts to be acceptable. I'm especially concerned to write good lyrics, and if you do ever give some time to my stuff, I hope you will click to the lyrics and read those also. They don't come easy, you know. I'm plonking my songs here to give them a home, in the hope you might think they're not too bad. In fact, in the hope that you'll snap them up and I'll become an instant overnight megastar multi-millionaire. But failing that, I hope that you just like them. And if you do like one - I'd especially like it if you told me so. We all need strokes, eh ? Cheers ! Pete Songs-in-a-Bottle

Lyrics
I dawdle in daydreams, why should I bother ? if I get up I just wonder what for oh mr landlord tell yer I aint got no rent to give you there's no point in that continued frantic knock at the door cos my piggy-bank's empty, the point of life is pointless and I can't afford the needs that I need when I ain't got no pennies nor no dimes to rub together and the meter's got this appetite so big I can't feed well now I get the cheapest soap with strong carbolic stink and every night it washes all my hopes right down the sink I buy cheap razor blades, I try to make'em last I use them half as quickly, but they wear out twice as fast no life isn't easy, living it with nothing in your pocket aint a bundle of thrills it's alarmingly expensive just to wake up in the morning with gas turned low as it can be and the cost of electricity now how'm I gonna pay my bills ? my coffee-cup of life's diluted, so to speak, my teabag on a string has got to last me for a week I subexist on beans, I check the cheapest brand they pretty much taste like my life all vacuous and bland down on my luck now, no-one to help me, and I'm eking out a life with no frills and singing to myself provides my only entertainment sometimes I simply sit and sob if only I could get a job now how'm I gonna pay my bills oh how'm I gonna pay my bills ?
