lyrics

A Life Like Mine
words and music by
john greene

Hello mother I safely arrived,
At the halfway mark
Halfway to paradise or halfway to hell,
Halfway to life in the dark
Poet or parrot, hero or thief,
I’m trying to make up my mind
Whether a twentieth century boy,
Can leave the memories behind

Spent half my time traveling,
Never to arrive
Spent the other half wondering,
Never to decide
The game gets easier as you grow old,
But no-one wants youto play
You end up on the sidelines sitting,
Wishing your life away

My phonographic memory lives on charity bizarre
And my manic panic never gets me very far
But 1 wouldn’t change anything,
Though I didn’t always shine
No I wouldn’t change any part of a life like mine

I’m proud of the things that I’ve learnt
And most of the things that I’ve done
Knowing a man who knew Cassidy
Meeting Mandela’s son

My phonographic memory lives on charity bizarre
And my manic panic never gets me very far
But 1 wouldn’t change anything,
Though I didn’t always shine
No I wouldn’t change any part of a life like mine

about

John Greene Music Falmouth, UK

John Greene's music is a reflection of his turbulent, non-conformist life and is based on early rock and roll, the pop explosion of the 60’s, the blues and many things Americana.
Best described as ‘Hard Country’, it lives in the space also occupied by the likes of Neil Young and the Grateful Dead. It always involves his unique viewpoint on the world he has lived in and the troubles we all share.
