daryl1968 417 Posted February 8 (edited) Hi folks Here's a new original song from The Forum Monkeys. The Forum Monkeys are @Mesh, @Bapu and me. Additional backing vocals by the current Mrs Daryl1968 Lyrics below the link Bitter and Twisted Written, performed and recorded by The Forum Monkeys V1 I used to be happy go lucky Now I'm a grumpy old bloke Now you're lucky if I'm happy I'm not too fond of folk I was the life and soul at parties Drinking 'til the vodka ran dry Now I'd rather sit on my front lawn and moan at the passers by Pre-chorus ...and folks say that I've changed My demeanour is strange Chorus I'm bitter and twisted My smile has desisted My optimism isn't what it used to be My spark was ignited But now it's been slighted Enthusiasm's left my vocabulary V2 So now I'm used to being this way You can take me as I am Old and grumpy is how I'll stay Frankly I don't give a damn Pre-chorus ....and folks say that I've changed My demeanour's deranged Chorus Pre-chorus Chorus to end Edited February 8 by daryl1968 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freddy j 404 Posted February 9 Brilliant indeed!!! Great job guys. Not only great performances, arrangement and mix but really great lyrics. Now that I am old and retired, I have claimed the right to be an old grouch and I can relate to these lyrics. It was a treat to listen to this song. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
