floyd posted Stoplight on North Main Street and I wrote "The American way of talking really lends itself to songs because in my town the title would be "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" which sounds ludicrous as a song title. laugh and floyd replied "I'm pretty sure a gibsonated "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" is a masterpiece just waiting to happen."

Thanks floyd for the idea! It was a really quick song from start to finish, about 4 hours!! I had a cold so the voice is a bit croaky. dunno about masterpiece tho; blush The photo for the song is the traffic lights in question grin

Here is The Traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive

she made it so damned hard to love her
she made just real certain I knew just how she felt
she screamed just one more time so I ran across the road
at the traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive

well i decided it was time for me to have a drink or two
and my favourite bar was only up the road thankfully
the boys said how you bin, she let you out again
I told them about the incident on prince of wales drive

Boy how they laughed
they laughed until they cried
and very soon even I had joined in
the beer began to flow then we all said that we'd go
to the traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive

Boy how we laughed
we laughed until we cried
and the someone noticed that it had just started to rain
the beer was really flowing so we decided not to go go
to the traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive

Hi Alyn,

This is funny and you did a pretty good job for a 4 hour write!
I feel your pain singing with a cold - I seem to go from one cough/cold/throat infection to the next.
I thought I might do a song with vocoder vocals to mask my cold.

Cheers

Alyn,

Well, that backbeat woke me up!
The croak is there but it adds a bit of attitude so not to worry.
Thanks for putting your 4hrs song in the can - its a fun listen.

Alyn,

I really like this! The image of the woman screaming and you running across the road at the lights on Prince Of Wales Drive was vividly visual. It carried me through the entire song! What a terrific way to pull the listener into verse 1.

Your imagination seems boundless!

Regards,
Noel

Hi Rec,

This was going to be one of my songs for that XTRA pak competition, but better ones soon appeared.
The backing appeared almost immediately and the words took a little longer but seemed to flow naturally from my brain. A rough copy was done the 1st night and vocals were recorded the next day. Mixing and "playing with" the scratchy vocals however took a bit longer.
Flipping colds mad

Glad you enjoyed tho'

Floyd was right when he said "There's a traffic light on Prince of Wales drive" is a masterpiece just waiting to happen." You made it happen!

I also think this is more Stones then Beatles, but whatever, I think this is an excellent song.

I lived through a British invasion now I'm living through a Welsh invasion. I just hope that the Irish don't catch wind of these invasions grin

Glad you enjoyed.
It started as an anti-love song "she made it so damned hard to love her" but I got stuck on that line for weeks, then floyd gave me the idea and it deteriorated from there rather quickly

So glad you enjoyed

Thanks Noel,
this is probably the fastest song from start to finish that I have ever done thanks to BIAB.
The style just helped the flow of the words, and I also relied on the funny moments as one by one my friends, including me, got divorced around the turn of the century!

Gotta laugh sometimes!
