Song about being stalked. Heartfelt plea. This is fueled by a suspicion I am being watched. I am a bit of a funny man I suppose. Just get this lousy feeling. Anyway..... it's a song now so let's hope it goes away...

Blues. Used to busk. Thankyou for looking March 2021. Love/art/blues/Rob. So, musical diary
Pardon? How can I interview me? Some streets are better than others? Some highways are brighter than others. Time of day, find a state of mind, imagination, TV, 1920s. I write about love, lost or found, hopefully honestly inspired by love, and try to play better for that. When younger protested about behaviours on my radar, and of course, being a simple artist, surfing the great times I imagine I had in another life, or maybe one day this one!

Story behind the song
I considered calling this the Piggy Blues, under the delusion my consciousness (dreams, feelings of being watched) was being harassed by a few rogue neighbourhood watch officers, or maybe some sort of righteous thugs. Then it occurred to me that (whoever this is, and it seems to be some sort of gang) was unlikely to be anything of the sort but some sort of 'golden child' swinging dick with goddess (goddesses) and several mates on what we call in Australia The Poofta Bash. A real general. I'm not American by the way. I got the same lousy feeling as a busker years ago. And also, I'm not a homosexual but that's how these things can get going if some bastard you don't know takes an irrational dislike to you (without knowing you at all). The homo isn't actually beaten up, just 'tracked' and talked about sarcastically a lot, almost as a daily ritual, It can get intense I would imagine. Hate can do that. You start..... That's my problem, or fantasy perhaps. ( If challenged the bastards will plead 'a higher cause' and hope no-one notices the cowardice.) But anyone who wants a song about a ghost, a stalker, a psychopath, etc, may like this.
Lyrics
Dark Side News (draft from which sung) you see him high you see him low you don't see him coming where ever you go he never goes and you'll never know you're the star of the show he might be big he might be small you gotta a nose that knows it them all somewhere baby he Knows fly so high baby can't see him at all you'll never fall you know them all you come in close you back away you move ahead you stay away I dont see anything at all everything is the same only a dark shadow on the wall no matter what you do they'll never know your name you'll stay exactly the same the shattering game stay humble pretty thing white boy the shattering game of strangers baby if I don't see you no more please tell my friends
