Lyrics for Writing - Live From "Midsummer Music" At Wembley Stadium / 1975

Is there anything left Maybe steak and eggs Waking up to washing up Making up your bed Lazy days, my razor blade Could use a better edge It's enough to make you laugh Relax in a nice cool bath Inspiration for navigation Of our new found craft Oh, I know you and you know me It's always half and half And we were oh oh, so you know Not the kind to dawdle Will the things we wrote today Sound as good tomorrow? We will still be writing In approaching years Stifling yawns on Sundays As the weekends disappear We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind But don't disturb us if you hear us trying To instigate the structure of another line or two 'Cause writing's lighting up And I like life enough To see it through And we were oh oh, so you know Not the kind to dawdle Will the things we wrote today Sound as good tomorrow? We will still be writing In approaching years Stifling yawns on Sundays As the weekend disappears We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind But don't disturb us if you hear us trying To instigate the structure of another line or two 'Cause writing's lighting up And I like life enough To see it through 'Cause writing's lighting up And I like life enough To see it through Thank you It's getting little chilly out there I'd like to thank you for sitting through today It's a long time to sit on your bums Especially if you're the middle of a pitch and you wanna have a pee But nevermind, ah As you know, this is our first gig As a new old-done band I'd like to introduce everybody If you don't know who they are already First of all, uh On the drums Our new drummer, mister Roger Pope on drums Our new guitarist, mister Caleb Quaye on guitar Our new keyboard man, mister James Howard on keyboards (Yeah, take a bow, James) Our new bass player thanks to mister Joe Walsh who I'm Personally very attracted to Mister Kenny Passarelli on bass guitar Davey Johnstone is still with us if you've noticed The blond bombshell, the genie of electric guitar And Ray Cooper is still here too Ray Cooper on percussion Chimes, gongs, anything, you name it We have special guest, too Uh, this man's just done 40 gigs with the Doobies And he flew- got straight on the plane and came straight over just to play Jeff Baxter from Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers Come along, take a bow And also, singing with us We have two people that have- write songs Wrote one ruckus of songs early on Brenda and Brian Brussel, I know They made their own records, too on Rocket And also, mister Johnny Gerard, who also makes his own on records on Rocket And you'll be hearing a lot more on, on vocals And of course, I'm still here As our closing numbers We all fall in love sometimes, it occurs And the last two number on the hour And we'd like to thank you for being so appreciative 'Cause we were shit-scared, haha Alright, thank you Sorry, mum
