Well if anyone can do it ...

Ever thought of songwriting as a cathartic process? of course you have!. You don't have to be Jim Morrison and wank yourself to death full of smack in the bath to know this? Or do you? No literal awards for this, but I wrote some lyrics and I like em and I'm going to expose you to some of my cathartic side. You heard it hear first!!. See I've not been feeling too good of late and was influenced by two ideas. One from Billy Childish, that a true artist does it everyday because they have to, and two, I once heard that B B King reckoned that he didn't know anything about life until he was forty.... More crap to follow, including my classic I want to chop my own head off and put it in your garden (joke) Just a man that knows nothing I'm just a man that knows nothing, that's for sure that's a fact Pull up a stool I won't be none of that I'm like a ghost in the room could disappear and that’s that I'm a man who knows nothing for sure My love has meant nothing and my actions just as much I could vanish tomorrow and who would give a fuck I'm a man who knows nothing I guess I keep getting life's dirty deal I guess it's not about how you look but about how you feel I'm a man who knows nothing What you think of that Always thought I could be just who I wanted to be But I guess the forces of nature just didn't want it to be I'm a man that knows nothing it kind of hurts but life is hard I guess the best lessons are the ones that break your heart I'm a man that knows nothing

Fender Voodoo Stratocaster

Hendrix geeks have always claimed his reverse headstock, gave him better playability and his upside down bridge pickup gave him a more even response. This Voodoo Strat certainly delivers great feel and sound. Made only for about a year, this is a Mexican version. Nice figuring on the maple neck and wonderful sounding pickups. Yours for £399 .00. Remember we also offer 9 months interest free. www.theguitarspot.com james@theguitarspot.com
