Know When to Bow Out - Coal Parker

Bands/artists dont know when to quit.
They make it big, release great albums and then run out of things to say. Then they just write for money cos they know the loyal fans will keep buying their albums long after their passion and talent leaves. The young see their fathers idols live on tv and take no notice cos the image the father saw in his youth is now long dead.

Money isnt everything.


KNOW WHEN TO BOW OUT

Who Loves you
Who loves you

Money and time burn the mind of the aged punks
Morals and efforts that die with the weight of gold,
Hung from their souls

Lips of a titan can blaspheme and blasphome
Lords only visible when you find youre alone
And the hymn sings on

Know when to bow out
and leave your life to chance alone

I am a lie, a deceitful rough ode to
Minds in a mess that cant tell gurt nor gloat from
Prince or that from Toad

Write for yourself and not just for your fanbase
Dont drop your mind and elope
If you dont love life, it wont love you

Know when to bow out
And leave your life to chance alone

Carry me off
Carry me off.

And give your life to chance alone.

[yorkie2014]

@max1miliano Very kind of you thanks. Are there any bands you wish would quit while they still have souls?

[Vyn2007]

Music business where are you? So hard to find real talents? Here Coal is one..

[Hanne1001]

[goodbyewindows]

Great work on this. Always a pleasure...

[max1miliano]

@max1miliano ...it. When i listen to you, i can see you. i think you are putting your life on the table and saying "This happened to me. it hurts, but it is what it is, and i'll get over it or at least try it" rough histories. this is what moves my soul man

[max1miliano]

@max1miliano I mean i want pure music from the soul, not a crappy music with ridiculous and meaningless lyrics. Just, i think that you, me, the other guy, anybody: to play music = MUST put the bloody soul in

[max1miliano]

@yorkie2014 I think...maybe Deep Purple or how about, Gun's & Roses. Man, i saw Axl Last year... i mean really? he's not saying anything or doing, he is just for the money. they should have quit in the 93'

I know that they are big bands, but it's like "dude you don't sound, like you used to"

Here in Uruguay we have lots of bands that don't know when to quit...so they transformed "good" cds into an "i have to eat" cd.
