“Are you ready?” I ask, looking everyone deep into the eyes. I see faces, full of decidedness, joy and in mood for a great show. Of course, we all are bit nervous. Will they like our show? Our songs? Is everything working as we have planned it? But we did our best we can do, now we have to hope. I risk a look to the bar – and smile. “Guys, the bar is full of people. Let's make them happy!” I say with my best powerful voice. “YEAH!!!” We high five and take a last big slug of beer.
I'm wearing blue jeans, our Cock'n'Roses shirt and a pirate bandanna.
Nodding to jd, he nods back. Just few seconds later, all the lights in the bar are switched off.
BANG!……………BANG!…………………BANG!
Three loud clunks fill the air. We jump to the stage, everyone is taking his instrument and I take my mic. Lights are flashing on and off and we start our first concert:
Take me down to
AChat Citywhere the grass is green and the girls are pretty
oh won't you please take me home
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
oh won't you please take me home
Everyone is screaming and shouting, whistlening, clapping… I run to the left side of the stage, my arms waving as if I'd talk to the crowd
Just a urching living under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time take it to the end of the line
Ragz to riches or so they say you gotta
keep pushing for the fortune and fame
you know it's it's all a gamble when it's just a game
you treat I like a capital crime everybody's doing their time
Run to the right side, nodding to the crowd… shouting “Sing with me!”
Take me down AChat city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
oh won't you please take me home yea yea
take me down to the paradise city
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
take me home
Now I'm in the middle, jumping up and down. I'm full of adrenaline and it wants to come out… stamping my feet, circling around...
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
why I'm here I can't quite remember
the surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
tell me who you're gonna believe
I run around, staying with everyone for a few seconds until I reach freddie. Standing beside him, nodding, moving in same rhythm he is doing. We're grinning…
Take me down to Achat City
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
take me home yea yea
I'm in the middle again, moving and shaking… looking around, seeing soo many familiar faces but also people I've never seen before. The music stops, just james is playing his drums…. Finally I see who I am looking for. I point to my girl, winking…
take me down to AChat City
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
oh won't you please take me home yea yea
“Sing with me two more times!” I scream and my voice is as loud as possible, the guys are playing their instruments again, everyone is giving his best while I'm stamping my feet, shaking my head, then clapping my hands over head to encore really EVERYONE to song and move…
take me down to
AChat Citywhere the grass is green and the girls are pretty
oh won't you please take me home yea yea
take me down to AChat City
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
oh won't you please take me home yea yea
The music is going down, the lights are off. Phew, I take a deep breath. Already sweat but happy as we hear the reaction of the audience.
