This year i hit the big 6 - 0, i'll feel really old then but these days they say 60 is the new 40 so not too bothered about it, i won't be ready for the knackers yard yet! Hope you enjoy the song, again slightly biographical in content and sentiment! (-;


Guitar - C & T 1
Amp - Tiny Terror / Marshall cabinet
Drums - Roland TD-12

PLAY LOUD!

WELL I'M OLD BUT I AIN'T DESERVIN'
OF NO PRESERVIN'
I GOT NO JUSTIFICATION
OF NO AUGMENTATION

WELL I DON'T NEED NO CONSERVATION
LONG AS I GET PLENTY
OF SUSTENATION

CHORUS -
I DON'T NEED NO....
PRESERVATIN' BLUES

I SEEN BO DIDDLEY
I SEEN LED ZEPPELIN
I STARED DEATH SQUARE IN THE FACE
AN' I CAME BACK WRESTLIN'

WELL I DON'T NEED
NO DEMOLITION
I GOT ALL MY ARMS AND LEGS
...AND A FEW TEETH REMAININ'

CHORUS

I GOT DRUNK ON WHITE RUM
I GOT DRUNK ON CHAMPAGNE,
I SPENT ALL NIGHT
WALKIN' IN THE RAIN

I SEEN BAD TIMES
I SEEN MY LIFE TURN RUSTY
NOTHIN' GETS ME DOWN
THO' SOMETIMES I GET A LITTLE CRUSTY!

CHORUS

WELL I DON'T NEED NO
CONSTERNATION
'BOUT MY HEALTH
AND CONSTITUTION.

I'LL LIVE A THOUSAND YEARS MORE
IF YOU KEEP OFF MY BACK WOMAN...

CHORUS
