West Lothian

So listening on the wireless tonight, and this was a theme that was suggested as a topic for discussion

Is there a song that either the music, melody or lyrics makes you think I wish I'd written that?

For me the lyrics and the melody to David Greys - This years love has me thinking if wish I'd written that

And if I had the royalties must be whopping!

Very simple song and lyrics but Three Little Birds by Bob Marley.

Beautiful sentiment though...and it is his birthday today.

I wrote all of David Bowies music. He just sang them. I was the real talent behind the scenes. I just couldn't cope with all the fame and adulation.

I'm particularly proud of life on Mars..

True story.. lol.

One memory I have of this song was actually In Jamaica sitting at the poolside bar as you do and along comes a rastafarian with his wee guitar singing Three little birds ... he sang for just over an hour so I was rather merry by the time he left lol

Sooooo many. Couldn’t possibly just pick one I don’t think. Be My Downfall, Del Amitri, would be up there though.

Seriously there are a lot of songs I wish I wrote and a number of songs I wish I hadn’t wrote.

For royalties I wish I wrote Bryan Adams hit Everything I Do, Queen’s Bo-Rap

As for lyrical content there are too many to list
