All the young dudes
give me the blues
Miserable goons
I don’t mind their tunes
but they can’t write words for toffee
So that’s the opposite of me

Musical rules
make simple tools
for me to use
or to abuse
Which I’ll struggle to convince me
that Igor Stravinsky
made better music than,
off the top of my head,
Martha Reeves and the Vandellas
