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
