I started recording because I was always complaining about the records that I was getting of my songs. At least if I did them and messed them up, I wouldn't have anyone else to blame.

I wanted to get my recording and become a musician again, work; with other people, do that kind of thing because I kind of got away from that for a while once we started happening, you know, selling records, sold out concerts.

Bitter and twisted
I'm bitter and twisted.
And my head is all but messed up.
I don't blame you.
But blame myself.
But you raped me.
And you abused me.
Was that my fualt?
I'm hell bent on revenge.
You've messed up my life.
I hate you I hate you I hate you.
Why pick on me?
I hate you.
And I am going to get you.
One by one.
Your all gonna pay.
So watch your back.

MESSED UP LOVE...by talile ali
STAND UP ON YOUR FEET
AND FACE THIS
MESSED UP LOVE
THOUGHT IT WAS
SOMETHING FROM ABOVE
BUT IT WAS ONLY
MESSED UP LOVE
NEVER SAW A FACE
REAL WELL AND
NEVER REALLY GOT
THE NAME
MOM WAS FANNIN THE FLAME
DRIVIN ME
HALF INSANE
SO HERE WE ARE
NOT TOGETHER BECAUSE
OF YOUR MOM AND
MESSED UP LOVE
AND IT IS
NO SUCH FUN
IT'S NOTHIN BUT
MESSED UP LOVE
SO AS I PACK MY BAGS
I SAY GOOD BYE TO
MESSED UP LOVE
THE FEELINGS WERE
NOTHIIN TO SPEAK OF
BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH
MESSED UP LOVE
DON'T TEXT ME MORE TODAY
YOUR MESSAGES ARE
MESSED UP LOVE
I DON'T REALLY
SEE WHAT YOUR SPEAKING OF
I'M GONE OK?

Nowadays, it's like two different arenas, recording and touring. When I started way back in the day, doing both was nothing, you didn't have to think about it, the road and recording.

Old Dans Records
Get out old dans records
Get out old dans records
We will dance the whole night long
Its fun to play the old time songs
If old dan could see us now
I know hed be so proud
Bring out old dans records
Bring out old dans records
I remember my aunt bea
Shed dance with dan till two or three
If old dan could see he now
I know hed shout out loud
Dig out old dans records
Bring out old dans records
Were all here, weve all got dates
Well dance all night to the seventy-eights
If old dan could see us now
I know hed be so proud
If old dan were with us still
I know hed come around
Get out old dans records
Dig out old dans records
Back to nineteen thirty-five
The foxtrot, jitterbug n jive
If old dan could see us now
I know hed be so proud
Get out old dans records
Bring out old dans records
High above the fireplace
Theres a smile on old dans face
If old dan could see us now
I know hed be so proud
If old dan were with us still
I know hed come around

It is not that I don't like contemporary country music because I do. I love it. I have recorded a lot and have had great success recording records that have not been very traditional country records.

Show Tune #4 I
You're the one
my heart dreams on
and I swear
that nightly bare
I want to see you
but if you say forget it, no way, hey,
I wouldn't blame you if you do!
If you said
'check your head
I think some parts are missing
I couldn't live
on what you give:
of huggin' and kissing'.
I wouldn't blame you if you do!
Then I might say, dear
riches' star
never shone my way, dear
and though you might be right, love
I can get new ones
when the war is over
So, I wouldn't blame you if you do!
So now you know
this old show
will soon be closing
and that fame
made my name
an anagram for nothing
I....

She Just Started Liking Cheatin' Songs
She just started liking cheatin songs
And what's bothering me
I don't know if its the cheatin' she likes
Or just the melody
I've never had any reason to doubt her
As far as I know she's been true
But lately she's had a different look in her eyes
I wonder if she's seein somebody new
You can't blame a body for lookin
When there's a world of people out there
But I hope that she's not takin any closer looks
I tell ya lately frankly I've been scared
Cause she just started liking cheatin' songs
And what's bothering me
I don't know if its the cheatin' she likes
Or just the melody
I've got to admit I do some looking too
But she's the only one I love
She still tells me she loves me
But I wonder if my love's enough
Cause she just started liking cheatin' songs
And what's bothering me
I don't know if its the cheatin' she likes
Or just the melody
Yeah she just started liking cheatin' songs
And what's bothering me
I don't know if its the cheatin' she likes
Or just the melody
Yeah I don't know if its the cheatin' she likes
Or just the melody

Show Tune #4 II
I wouldn't blame you if you do!
And if I said
'We're not dead
yet, are we, are we?
And if you
working, too,
said 'I do'
I wouldn't blame you if you do!
'What'!
'I didn't mean it'!
'Really, Frankie'?
'Yes, Johnnie,
And I promise to be true
what's more, Johnnie, honey
ain't nobody's
business
if we do'.
(bridge)
I wouldn't blame you, no sirree!
yet all the same, you see
it would be so alright
if all through the night-night
we could lay awake
in a cottage by a lake
under the rafters
somehow evading sleep
hearing the trout leap
waiting for dawn to break!

When Will I See You Smile Again?
Im so sorry, baby, I never meant to hurt you. please forgive me.
La da da...
Tears, I see, drop from your eyes. tell me why you cry.
Guilt, I feel, when you look at me. did I let you down?
Girl, you see that i, I apologize.
Tell me what to do to get through to you.
Girl, its not the same. I knew I was to blame.
Just tell me, when will I see you smile again.
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Promises, I know I made many times before, and I broke each one of them.
But I had to learn over and over again: dont hurt the one you love.
Girl, you see that i, I apologize.
Tell me what to do to get through to you.
Girl, its not the same. I know I was to blame.
Just tell me, when will I see you smile again?
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know youre fed up, sugar.
Look, baby, listen:
Please forgive me for all the wrong Ive done.
You see, I just cant understand why I keep making this same kind of mistake
Over and over again. but theres one question that remains in the back of my mind, love.
And that is when will I see you smile again?
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? ...

But some great records are are being made with today's technology and there are still great artists among us. Likewise there are artists today who are so reliant on modern technology, they wouldn't have emerged when recording was more organic.

The Old Songs
There goes another one
Another happy couple on the road to emptiness
I think of my father and mother
Can they imagine how two people can get in this mess
But the old songs say - loves forever
And the old songs never say die
But a song cant keep us together
How can that beautiful song be a lie
Me I blame the old songs
Filling hearts with rebellion and romance
Our book of revelations
And all we had to do was dance
Play us another one
Play us the hopes and dreams of twenty years ago
Theyre all over the bloody radio
Its like theyre telling us theres nowhere left to go
And the old songs say - be my baby
And the old songs say - she loves you
All the songs well sing come what may be
I like those songs
But Id like something new
Me I blame the old songs
Protect us all against a change of course
All our great expectations
Turn to alimony and remorse

Top Of The Pops
Ive just come in at number 25
Im oh so happy, so glad to be alive
And everybody says its going to get to the top
Life is so easy when your records hot.
Go tell my mamma and my sister too
To press my trousers and polish my shoes
I might even end up a rock-and-roll god
It might turn into a steady job.
And my agent said to me: son, I always told you so.
Now my records number 11 on the bbc
But number seven on the n.m.e.
Not the melody maker want to interview me
And ask my view on politics and theories on religion.
Now my records up to number 3
And a woman recognized me and started to scream
This all seems like a crazy dream
Ive been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen
And now Ive got friends that I never knew I had before.
Its strange how people want you when you records high
cos when it drops down they just pass you by
Now my agent just called me and said it me:
Son your records just got to number one.

Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs; taking them in different directions.

We moved into the back, made it into a little 50s sitting room and started to sell the records. We had an immediate success. For one thing, these Teddy Boys were thrilled to buy the records.
