Ode To Eric Clapton
Hear Eric Clapton's got the blues
did he pay his dues
have you heard the news
hear Eric Clapton's got the blues.
Nicknamed old slow hand in band
Eric is the master blues guitar hand
always with his back against the wall
yet Eric Clapton stands noble and tall.
Started out over thirty years ago
his guitar style developed blues flow
an second only too late Jimi Hendrix
Eric played with heavy cream mix.
Through the high times and the bad
sometimes feeling crazy and mad
battling wild destructive stardom scene
taking trips both right and wrong dream.
Road to excess leads to wisdom song
although the road is often long
I'm quoting Eric's favourite line
these words that spring to mine.
Having self confessed addictive personality
is Eric's dark blues self analysis key
but today Eric lets his guitar talk
all the way from London to New York.
Doing the prince charity time trust
each and every year is indeed a must
playing regularly London's Albert Hall
Eric stands tall and isn't about to fall.
Admired by every guitar slinger around
Eric's guitar creates the blues sound
with master blues ace calling card
Eric Clapton plays honest and hard.
And the blues is always played real
let's you have honest emotion to feel
singing about love affairs of the heart
blows all our false pretense apart.
Nineties Eric wears his blues mantle proud
playing his guitar notes inspired and loud
with both subtle and heavy born emotion
laying down blues flavour stylish devotion.
Yes Eric Clapton's got the blues
did you pay your dues
whose gonna break the news
yes Eric Clapton's got the blues.

I'd put on Eric Clapton's blues
I’d put on Eric Clapton’s blues
While you’d kiss my back
Sing, guitar, sing!
And we’d lie on the sofa and handle each other
My brittle frame confining your
Heavy composition
You craved me, I know
Yet you were just a thrill to me
Yeah, you knew you were my thrill
Credulous like a lamb, in your lap I was
Dazzled by the explosions filling those velvet eyes
‘Cause they reached into me and shook my bones;
My bones need shaking
My marrow was breaking
Vacillating
I melted right there with you ‘cause
I’d be freezing and your heat
Would surround me
Until the sun’s warmth wet our bodies
And I’d contemplate you and, puzzled, wonder,
‘Cause you’d kiss my back and I’d put on Eric Clapton’s blues
Sing guitar sing!
I felt you alright,
Just like I felt the blues.

It was a mystery to me, how the tuning was, or the style seemed to come out of nowhere, it obviously had roots in America going way back, there was nothing like it for me I'd ever seen before.
