Been digging round the vaults

 

I will just leave this here:

 

" A collection of old home recordings from 2005 - 2006.

I listen back to these and can't believe it has been 10 years.

This is the sound of me discovering recording, songwriting and my own style.

I have very fond memories of this time in my life, i even jacked my job in and did the band full time, played with some great people (jim noir, liam frost, cherry ghost, the kooks, and the list goes on)

Sometimes i will listen to these songs for inspiration in my new stuff. I think I have come a long way as a songwriter but at the same time there is something quite magical(at least for me) in the naivety of these songs, the roughness, the realness. Something about not having the option to make everything perfect. It was just me a couple of guitars, a melodica, a bass, a glock and drum machine.

In many ways I feel like I am sharing a family photo album with you.

I hope you find something you enjoy in it."

I have been song dry for months now, it's just not there anymore. But I was recently inspired to give it one more try. So this is the one song I wrote.

 

Nice to see some familiar names.

 

Stick you are still a wonderful writer and performer.

 

Flip Flop Trot

© Rick Dieffenbach 2016

 

First he says in eight years he'll get rid of our debt

Just by making better deals 'oh the money we'll get

Brookings called it asinine, 'then 'ole Donald changed his mind

Flipping and flop, he'll put us back on the top,

Do'in the Donald Flip Flop Trot

 

Next he says taxes on the rich should increase

Then his tax plan flips it the top shouts with glee (yea!)

It's the same old trickle down

Working class left on the ground

Pander to you, to Hell with the truth

Do'in the Donald Flip Flop Trot

 

Bridge:

Neo-Nazis have endorsed him

Vladimir Putin steals for him

DPRK says he's ok.

Watch while 666 has its day

 

No guns for the people on the terror watch list

He flip-flopped after he and the NRA kissed

Saying what you want to hear

Adds a heavy dose of fear

Forget this fool, don't become his tool

Do'in the Donald Flip Flop Trot

Do'in the Donald Flip Flop Trot
