Article
Many went before their time
We mention some within this rhyme
Ian Curtis, torn apart
A beautiful career, at it’s start
Truly missed , too sad the day
His transmission taken away
Jimi Hendrix, another lost
For us all, what a cost
Along the watchtower
Always to remain
Voodoo chile, slight refrain
Phil Lynott, tall and thin
Always greeted with a grin
There’s whiskey in the jar
So don’t get down
The Boys will be back in Town
Lennon shot, by a nowhere man
Rests with Lucy in the Sky
A day in the life, we wont forget
Hear Yoko Ono cry
Original and best
The Rat Pack sadly gone
And boy bands of today
Just in comparison wrong
Gone but still near
Just a few we name
There music keeps them here
And still playing in the game
