Dear Mr Williams

Dear Mr Williams, I am sorry to say
That i have just read your letter over tea, here in the UK And it troubles me greatly to see that you claim That i endorse your view Though you do not know my name Or in fact where i live, how i think, feel or care You see i am a Songwriter And i live well, everywhere. Did we meet at the Smithsons wedding in May ? If we did my apologies, for it’s so long it’s hard to say I do appreciate your efforts, to speak on my behalf But the assumptions you make Well in all honesty made me laugh. You see as child on one Christmas day i was given a guitar No unions, or subscriptions to pay I was free just to sit and make all kinds of noise No authorisation needed to play with my toys. But then when older A & R said : Ya can’t sing or play mate And yar not right for us It’s kinda alright But we don’ `ear a chorus So ere’s a small deal and we own wha’ you write And we’ll takes ours an’ more before yours mate I’m sure that salright ! So then producers and studios got fat on the pot And i got the bill and that was all that i got. But i still have my music and that’s a god given thing Free to anyone who wants to just play and sing And i’m free to express and share what i please Without you or your contracts Or your boxes and fees. So Mr Williams I am sure you are honorable in most every way Although i remind you the world is the world , and is not the USA Because to that god owns the copyright And it is he only and not you who can say When and if the music will dry up For all of us one day.
