Pissed And Poor In Thailand

[Gone]

Verse 1:

G C G

Well every now and then you know I hear a gambler cry

G D G

And every now and then I see a tourist passing by

G C G

The female with the raspy voice, the dog that wants to die

G D G

The go go bars, the Temple Monks, my empty glass of rye.

G C G

Well yonder in the rain I see a farmer sewing rice,

G D G

And standing right beside me is a child without his eyes.

G C G

His daddy tells him he’d be back, but the little boy is sad,

G D G

Cause he knows that old Lao Khao has different plans for dad.

Chorus:

G C G

Well I’m pissed and poor in Thailand, the pawn shops have my gold.

G D G

But everyone still smiles at me cause they think I still have doe.

G C G

The finance company tells me son that we can work it out,

G D G

But hell I just remembered, MY VISA JUST RAN OUT.

Verse 2

G C G

Well I’m living here in Thailand and everything is good,

G D G

The locals wanna leave here and travel if they could.

G C G

They look at me; I’m pissed and poor and wonder why I stay

G D G

I just smile and tilt my glass; I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Chorus:

Verse 3:

G C G

Well I can get a massage and I can get a train,

G D G

And I can get a A-k gun now isn’t that insane.

G C G

And I can have a business or a wife who is insane

G D G

But I cant even get a job or a house in my dam_n name.

Chorus:

Verse 4:

G C G

Well you know one day I’ll sober up and realize where I am,

G D G

And you might get an email saying I’m in god dam_n Siam.

G C G

And if I ask you for some cash to help me get back home,

G D G

Well just remember I’ve told you once that THAILAND IS MY HOME.

Chorus

Your name sums you up

Aren't you the member who started that rather controversial topic last week titled "My top ten reasons" for leaving Thailand?

I'm surprised you could find the time to write songs - or have you finished packing already?

I think "pissed and poor" explains a lot of the comments you make in the above mentioned topic last week.

PS I don't think the song's going to be a hit either...

Gone's resent posts seem to be classic examples of a passive aggressive personality.

555......good one, never knock creativity......don't worry about the grumpy old farts on this forum, give subzero siam or teak door a look........more light hearted than this crowd.

Lol. Thanks man. i have tons of silly songs I have written since being in LOS.

[Scott]

Inflammatory posts and replies have been deleted.

[fobuff]

[glegolo]

Shame on you.....

wasn't him

Just imagine it with a Country or Bluegrass beat mate.

Yes there does seem to be a lot of grumpy old men here like Buzzards sitting on a fence waiting for some one to post something that they can swoop down on and start picking the carcass to pieces.

It's just a song guys......wake up. Did you really think that I was standing beside some blind kid whose dad was planting rice and just buggered off to drink lao khao and left the kid there? ..............hmmmmmmm maybe I was. lol

I mean to come onto a web forum and pick away over analyzing a song or poem someone made......wow some people. Can just imagine what you guys say about Dylan.

Even if I was "Gone" does this mean I cannot post on TV any more? Half of you are not even IN Thailand so.......

Some people just have no sense of humor. Maybe I will write a song about the characters here next.

[CHANGOVER]

Sorry but I think the only Dylan you may have any similarity to is the one on the Magic Roundabout.

(us old farts on TV will remember him).

[CharlieH]

Oh dear !! "time for bed" said Zebeddy

[areil101]

Too much time on their hands?

Maybe you touched a nerve. The spectre of poverty looming large as the world economy screeches to a halt.

(allow me some poetic licence - no analytical posts about the validity of the screeching bit please).

Or perhaps the critics are just too poor to get pissed - now that would really wind them up.

Line 3 of the first verse - nicely done.

As Baloo said in Jungle book - 'Gone man, solid Gone!'

My new song: (Just a tease right now)

I put a song on a local forum and guess what happened then

The Buzzards started circling, the Trolls came out in ten

The Geriatrics woke up, but only for awhile

The critics started flaming, but that's Thai Visa style.

Chorus etc to come.

[maxme]

dam_n i like this song. Its soo true!

[Lizard2010]

Certainly differant.
