He's Me Mate

Don Woods

The London terror attack has been headlining the news....and questions being asked as to why the terrorist,who had been in jail,was released early.....and needless to say the politicians wade in blaming their opposition.. I used to produce demos for people who would send me their rough versions of their songs and I would put them into a presentable state to send to publishers....one of the songs has always remained in my mind... have been watching the TV series of The Crown which Is quite brilliant....it divulges information which I didn't know about which must be able to be made public after so many years.....it is obviously dramatised for TV purposes but the Royals don't come out of it too well. And on the subject of the Crown...the young lady who was allegedly treated so badly by Prince Andrew 20 odd years ago is over here stating how bad his dancing was and how he sweated all over her and how she was "trafficked" over here for sex.. On the music front we are,as always at this time of year,subjected to the same old worn out Christmas songs ....I was asked by my then publisher to write a song for Cannon and Ball so I came up with this one whereby they each sing a verse aimed at each other....
