I enjoyed it even more on another listen with the lyrics, you’re definitely a storyteller. And a philosopher apparently - but you do make some good points

Good morning Brain,
What a lovely text to read on an early Sunday morning… well with Easter approaching, a little death and destruction can of course never hurt 
… it’s nice to know the text of a performance, then you look at it differently… duh,
Especially with English … Chinese or Hungarian, Turkish etc also, I often miss the punch line of the text, I usually care about the music and the feeling it gives and the story that I make up around the words myself, and I read the whole text later than after many years I think …meh, I didn’t want to know this,… a lot of people will have this with music that is not sung in their native language.
Bye bye

Oh I don’t know Brian, the English and imperialism and I’ll throw arrogance in there as well, need I say more?
I liked your song though and playing. I do enjoy your, off the beaten track offerings. Always a pleasure to listen to.

It’s always a matter of great curiosity to see a post from you Brian. You most certainly aren’t predictable in your choice of what you pull out of your musical memorabilia.
I still hear you singing lines from Nineteen Things I think it was called ‘I’ve walked in the desert in my wedding shoes’ (apologies if I’ve misquoted) is one that brings vivid images and emotions front and centre for me.

@roger_holland I can see myself in my old age trawling the Good Book for so many song ideas 
I am in awe of folk who write in languages other than their mother tongue. I often enjoy the lyrics more as well, if they don’t really make complete sense and something is left ambiguous.
@SgtColon indeed, Stefan. All ‘civilizations’ have this, but most try to gloss over rather than draw attention to it.
Glad you enjoyed the song
@batwoman You’ve been a good travelling companion on my guitar journey since the beginning.
I shall write another song about my footwear, should we ever meet up

…Same here,…and of course I don’t mean myself with google translate most of the time.
Well, as mentioned before, I’m also a big fan of this,…unfortunately this only works pretty well for me in Dutch, because I definitely don’t want to accidentally hurting unnecessarily anyone here (except you, of course,(Because of your thick skin, just mentioned for the other readers)) …and children also read with it here, but in my head it sometimes screams double meanings to my typing fingers 
.
Greetings and a and a little bow to you sir 
Hum Brian,
I thought I had taken this in, but I don’t see where that is true. So you must have tried to slip one by me?
Typical of your style, full of smile, good play and nice work on vox. I will have to try strumming as you do with the right hand. The fingertips sound pretty good!
Keep rock’n,

Cheers LBro, I see you’re doing a bit of ‘catching up’ today
Thanks for the listen and positive feedback.
Hehe, the finger strumming developed out of laziness. I’d probably trade it for skills with a pick, but will sort that out one day
The Entertainer strikes again with a very cool song and performance. You and Roger Holland should do a finger strumming duo.
You are a gifted man, and I’m a fan.

Hi old man, apologies for the late reply-
Thanks for your unwavering support
I sent you a message a while back.
Hope all is ok
@Kasper commented yesterday on @LBro and @oldhead49’s Werewolf in London track:
It’s always hard with these 3 chords songs, to keep it from becoming too repetitive…
Well, that reminded me of one of this Danish punk gem from 1979 (before your time Kasper? 
)
Teenage me thought this was the dog’s proverbials
Repetition- eat your heart out
3 chords, no variation, no dynamics, no chorus, no bridge.
(There was a solo instrumental which I left out)
The lyrics never made sense to me, although Wiki tells me that Galloping Goose and Filthy Few were biker gangs in Copenhagen, escalating violence in the run up to the Nordic Biker Wars.
The syncopated guitar and slightly unusual phrasing caused me some initial problems.
I’m slightly ashamed to have used the Hip-Hop setting on my Trio+ for the backing track.
Not very punk at all, eh?
Here’s a link to the original if anyone fancies a spot the difference competition

Well there’s a redeeming feature for hip-hop … generating a suitable punk rhythm on your Trio. Add a suitably punk tone and it turned out pretty good, Brian.
But I think you may have been having too much fun with that wammy bar at the end

You watched to the end?!?
(and please… it’s called a wiggle-stick according to Clint)
Ah yes, the Sods, that well known Danish punk band. Where on earth do you dig them up from Brian?
Maybe just 3 chords but they were barre chords so that counts as double!
The Trio backing worked really well on hip-hop. I think the Trio genre names are pretty meaningless and you just have to find the one that suits your song.
Although it was repetitive, because of the phrasing it didn’t really seem that way and your vocal suited the song. You de-punked the performance by smiling and not shouting. 
Do you have any fingernails left after all that strumming?
A thoroughly entertaining AVoYP as always Brian.

Well Well Brian, 
It helps that I can honestly say that I like your version better than the original, that’s really BEEEEEP… 
And you are not really looking punk, not even at the end with your Jengel-Stengel (that’s what I call that thing) 
I enjoyed watching,
Greetings

In the spirit of ‘we don’t judge’ I’ll be true to my words Brian. I can see and hear the teenage you in this one, what a blast it must be for him.

Hey I watched until the end too and it was great! This hip hop vibe from your Trio really did it a favour, your inner Eminem would be proud
