Hi all,
A few years ago, I wrote a song, cLled “Party People (This train ain’t stopping at the station” after seeing some riots on TV. Some protestors had a genuine grievance, but then there were the people who just used the genuine protest as an excuse for looting, fighting etc..
I had lyrics and melody, but could not work out the chords to play it over.
Then last year, I listened to Brian’s backing track for EP184, and it just came to me that my melody fitted over the backing track perfectly. So last year, I played the melody over it, and posted it at this link:
This year, I have just sung it over last year’s lead over Brian’s backing track! Here it is:

And here are my lyrics!
Title: Party People (train aun’t stopping at the station
I see all those low-down people,
Fighting on my TV screen,
Sitting here, I shed a tear,
They make me want to shout and scream!Look at all those full-on people,
Chasing after their next buck.
All the time, forever climbing,
If you fall then that’s hard luck!I wish we all were Sunshine people!
Dancing in the parks and streets,
Fly our rockets to the stars,
It’s time to make this World complete!Don’t wait here; this train ain’t stopping, stopping at the station.
Wait another year, and pretty soon, you’ll be on vacation.Cheers,
Rich F
