Down

Composer: Sam Gaffney

Young man sets out for fortune and fame.
Looks easy as pie, soon we’ll all know his name.
No-one else has any clue what to do,
Won’t be too long until he breaks through.

Buys a guitar,
Learns a couple chords.
He’s so good,
The world could not ignore…
Heads out to get signed up,
Maybe find a band.
But things don’t work out
Quite as he planned…

CHORUS:
He’s down
He’s down.

Young man sets out to bring back a girl,
Aims high, must have the finest one in the world.
Sees one he likes, strides on up, has his say;
She tells him she’ll call him up next day.

Tells the boys he won’t be round next night,
He’s got a date lined up, everything looks alright.
He waits around all that next day for the call,
But his weekend ends up free after all…

(CHORUS)

He’s down…
Yeah, down.
Gave it all he got, just to be a laughing stock.
Boy, what’cha gonna do now?
