Description
This is a collaboration with stevel based on his song of the same name. I really liked what he had done. His lyric reminded me of something Richard Thomson would write. So, I "Thomsonized" it, made it more upbeat, and added another verse. Then stevel added a really nice guitar solo.
I have hardly ever collaborated with anyone before. But I'm finding that MacJams and the people who are part of it are very inspiring to me. Hope you enjoy the tune as much as we had fun doing it!

Lyrics
You went looking for Truth and Glory.
I went drinking. It's the same old story.
You were dancing in the All Bar One.
Heads were turning trying to name the song.
Chorus:
We've been reading the same old story.
We've been reading the same old story.
We've been reading the same old story,
and it never ends.
I've been so lonely I forgot to feel.
And a hungry man does not refuse a meal.
All the favours went to Number One.
Now the party's over and the guests have gone.
(Chorus)
No, it never ends.
It never ends,
but it's got to end this time.
(break)
You went to Blackwells and you bought the book.
Me? I'll rent the video and take a look.
You're talking metaphor and allegory.
I'm talking brickbats. It's the same old story.
Final Chorus:
We've been writing the same old story.
We've been writing the same old story.
We've been writing the same old story,
And it never ends.
I went drinking. It's the same old story.
You were dancing in the All Bar One.
Heads were turning trying to name the song.
Chorus:
We've been reading the same old story.
We've been reading the same old story.
We've been reading the same old story,
and it never ends.
I've been so lonely I forgot to feel.
And a hungry man does not refuse a meal.
All the favours went to Number One.
Now the party's over and the guests have gone.
(Chorus)
No, it never ends.
It never ends,
but it's got to end this time.
(break)
You went to Blackwells and you bought the book.
Me? I'll rent the video and take a look.
You're talking metaphor and allegory.
I'm talking brickbats. It's the same old story.
Final Chorus:
We've been writing the same old story.
We've been writing the same old story.
We've been writing the same old story,
And it never ends.

Good Rock and Roll.
Good Build in Vocal present of the Lyric. Crisp with good momentum.
Guitars are OUTTA Here. Crisp and Quick.
The Mx sounds a little thin on this machine (and Ref Phones - very Flat
across the Spectrum), but I'll pull it into Tunes for a Look.
Really Nice Job.
Best,
rtc
