Words and music ML Liguori

He plays all the good gigs around town
Knows the tops and tails like a good boy should
You’d never know from how he walks so tall
There’s something scares him all the time

Somebody might play it better
Much better than he might ever

Makin’ his way, 45 At A Time
Shakin’ em down down down
And makin’ them come alive

Behind closed doors of course he needs to get paid
He needs his fifty or he will not stay
He won’t stay
Then his eye wanders to the girls down front
And for a moment it’s worthwhile
Just for a moment it’s worthwhile

(chorus)

Now and then his patience is wearing thin
But still the muse it chooses him
Hey hey still the muse it chooses him

(chorus)

Mike Liguori – vocals, keyboards, synth bass
