King of the Concrete Jungle by Terry Wigmore
published on
Keith needed to get some stuff out and needed to wail away on his guitar, singing his heart out. I rode his coattails through the concrete.
King of the Concrete Jungle
Lyrics:
King of the concrete jungle
As far as he could see
Across the road and down the street
As far as the distant tree
Paved with puddles and historical dirt
A field of broken tiles
The Lord of darkened corners
Can see for miles and miles
(CHORUS)
NOW ALL AROUND IS CONCRETE
AND GREYNESS WINS THE GREEN
THE KING OF THE CONCRETE JUNGLE
WEEPS FOR YOU AND ME…YOU…AND ME
Singing from his lamppost
A branch without a tree
The sweetest notes you would ever hear
But no honey for this bee
Mouth open to the heavens
Warm sunshine from deep within
Blue skies he used to soar in
Clear waves he used to swim
(CHORUS)
(INST BREAK)
(CHORUS)
note from Keith:
"This was inspired by a lone blackbird, singing his heart out from the top of a lamppost. (The branch without a tree) I remember that behind 'his' lamppost there used to stand a beautiful Maple tree...long chopped down to make way for more car-parking space. There's not a single tree left standing down our road now...not one"
Note 2:Terry likes the social/political application to life in the 21st c. , always ready to see a moral to all of Keith's tales. ;)
