OP PeterF Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 5,647 Sydney Australia	Guardian Angel https://soundcloud.com/peterf1957/guardian-angel A wistful true story of misbegotten youth set in Australia (Cullendullah is on the NSW South Coast and Town Hall station is in the centre of Sydney.) Leon Vocal & Lyrics Me Backing vocals and quite a lot of guitar. Didn’t appear to have saved the BIAB track but Real tracks play Everything except lead and some rhythm guitar. Lyrics Pulled into the Cullendullah roadhouse Cause a light upon the dash was blinking red ‘When was the last time you put oil in this thing?’ Was what the man at the Cullendullah roadhouse said I guess I wasn’t very conscientious In those days about such things, or much at all By God I was so foolish, young and feckless The things I didn’t know it makes me shudder to recall I must’ve had a guardian angel Spreading out her wings to cover me I must’ve had a guardian angel How else I made it through those days is a flat out mystery Woke up behind the wheel of my little Renault With branches whipping past an inch away It was raining cats and dogs and I was drunk as Boris Yeltsin How I lived to tell the tale I really couldn’t say I must’ve had a guardian angel Spreading out her wings to cover me I must’ve had a guardian angel How else I made it through those days is a flat out mystery Reclining on a bench on Town Hall Station Missed the last train home an hour ago No money in my pocket, so I decide to walk it It’s only twenty miles so it’s up and off we go Never had much sense of direction So of course it wasn’t long before I badly lost my way A kindly taxi driver took pity on the fool And took me all the way back home even though I couldn’t pay I must’ve had a guardian angel Spreading out her wings to cover me I must’ve had a guardian angel How else I made it through those days is a flat out mystery

floyd jane Veteran Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 12,921 Florida	A good rocker, Peter. Nice guitar works throughout. I listened first. I found it a bit difficult to follow the story - because of the music. So, then listened while reading the lyric. A well-told story. It made me think that the lyric style and music style were a bit mismatched - both being good, but perhaps needing different partners. floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Alyn - lucky you weren't coming the other way - I recall going down a one way street the wrong way with him 40 years or so ago. Floyd - I have an acoustic version quite different - you might have liked that one better (I think Leon prefers that one).
