Linnet Woods singing one of her songs and accompanying herself on the guitar.
Singer/songwriter since 1965. Have published a few songs, in the distant past, for other artists to use but this is the first time I have released any performed
Story behind the song
Ritchie Taylor was (and possibly still is, it's been a long time) a brilliant guitarist and friend of a friend.
Lyrics
You're still trying to live
as if the world around you
hadn't changed at all,
living it up, yeah,
devil may care.
Ritchie!
Don't you waste your life away, no,
don't you waste your life away, no, no.
You still get taken in
by all the promises
the wide boys make
fooled by the fakes, yeah,
they're all on the take,
and I say:
Ritchie!
Don't you waste your life away, no,
don't you waste your life away, no, no.
There's always one last chance
you always take it,
everything you touch
you seem to break it
When it all gets too much
for you to bear
you pretend you don't care
but I say:
Ritchie!
Don't you waste your life away
Don't you waste your life away, no, no.
You have always fled
from situations you got into
when the going got rough
running away, yeah,
you call it a day
Ritchie!
Don't you waste your life away, no,
don't you waste your life away, no, no
Life's far too short
don't you abuse it
When the chance comes up
you'd better use it.
Knowing you, you'll leave it
too late and accuse us all
of letting you down.
Ritchie!
Don't you waste your life away, no,
don't you waste your life away, no, no.
Ritchie!
Don't you waste your life away, no,
don't you waste your life away, no, no.
Don't you waste your life away...
