Best Gigs Poems


Premium Member Thing-A-Ma-Gigs Hate Underwear

Thing-a-ma-gigs seldom wear underwear
Preferring bare skin to breeze in the air
With satisfaction
Hope for a reaction
Frankly you squirrels, most of us do not care.

Music Made Me

Music Made Me
I made it belong to me and it still does
Decades later the tracks are the same
Am I identical to the teenager?
At first I refused to listen to songs
But sooner than later it happened
My own path and choice and way

There was The Beach Boys and Frankie
A very varied mix of quality music
But it was one song and band
It changed everything in 86
The Bangles Manic Monday
One listen and I was hooked
And got the record and was fine

For I had an identity and a band
They set the musical bench mark
Over the decades many followed
T'Pau and All About Eve and
Pat Benatar and Joan Jett in 88
Voice of the Beehive in 91

And so many more awesome groups
Real bands doing real songs
80s, goth, rock, metal, indie,
Alternative, punk and more
My life soundtrack saying this:
Feck the mindless idiots!

Gigs

For those of you who aren't 
Musically au fait 
Let me describe to you
How to set up gigs to play

Despite your best efforts 
And the preparation done 
Inevitably some snag 
Will bite you on the bum 

You lug in all the gear 
It weighs a helluva lot 
Only to discover the stage 
Is the size of a table top 

Only a single power point 
Is available for you to use 
Leads are strung up everywhere 
To trip on as you choose 
 
Tension is running high 
As a preliminary strum 
Causes feedback squeals 
But the worst is yet to come... 

The mics are on the blink 
The lightings really dim 
Someone breaks a string 
It's pandemonium!


Gig Talker

He talked and talked,
gig talker, 
on and on.
Didn’t hear about Julie’s love for Gordon and Jilted John.
Conversed selfishly throughout the Buzzcocks explaining Why it had gone wrong. 
Missed Shelley’s quips,
Missed all the song.
Held a debate through The Bunnymen’s Ocean rain.
A heated discussion missing how The Cure were Jumping on someone else’s train.
An absolute pain. 
Didn’t take the hint from a backward glance as Kraftwerk rode mountain passes on the tour de France and the Ramones asked if we wanted to dance. 
Chattered incessantly whilst the Stranglers hung around and ruined tomorrow’s parties enraging Nico and Velvet underground.
Too loud.
Prattled away as Joy Division played,
killing the Atmosphere. 
Morrissey pleaded Please please please but he still didn’t hear.
Bad gig combination Charlie and beer.
To cap it off on his way home,gabbling into his mobile phone, the irony wasn’t lost on us. He never heard it coming, the night bus. 
Hit him square,his brand new Primark Nirvana t shirt matted with blood and hair.
(Sing)
“Keep you mind on your driving
Keep you hands on the wheel
Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead.“
Should’ve f***ing listened.
