Title: the 10th of September 2025
Post by: Rightly on Sep 28, 2025, 08:15 PM
I wrote this recently
Not exactly picture postcard material, I know.
Just trying to get my head around it.
Presently the music to it is too bluesy,
Im working on it.

The 10th of September, 2025


an advocate of violence,
he messed with the mob
there's a joke in there somewhere
he got himself shot
now, wrapped in stripy cotton
laid in fading stars
Blueberry budget Gigi
for your missing parts
Charlie is dead
he got himself shot

Utah in states divided
U. S. comeback tour
his first stop of the season
a short adventure
Charlie is dead, his kids will remember
they'll not forget the 10th of September
the kids will remember the 10th of September
twenty twenty five

who did it n' how could he?
the story unfolds
dressed up as a martyr, in
loosely fitting clothes
now, treadin' the warpath his
wife must have her way
anger is her master and
somebody must pay
Charlie is dead
useful as a ghost

 with plenty pointy fingers
"it's not us, it's them"
button down, clear the ground for
acting out revenge
Charlie is dead, his kids will remember
they'll not forget the 10th of September
the kids will remember the 10th of September
twenty twenty five

Charlie is dead
acting out revenge
