This take of Words Fail Me has all the right stuff on the piano but didn’t get a vocal track.
Chas’s fingers are at their best on this one, so enjoy, and save the throwing of bottles for the next act, if you please.
Mister Whiskey – (Words Fail Me) – without the words

Last night’s whisky just landed an uppercut
Joe Frazier would’ve struggled to beat
But the real big surprise was
The straight left to my eyes
Would’ve knocked even Joe off his feet
I’ve been ….trying all day ….to stay focussed
But it’s fair to say I’m losing all hope
But as any boxer knows- if you can’t move your toes
You’d better hang on like hell to the rope
Ah, but what will I say to this man at my door
Says he’s seen the light
Oh, I could say ‘Glory be – hey, that’s happened to me
And it’s been glowing in my head all damned night!”
Guitar lead
I’ve a good mind not to say anything – not a word
As I’m certain that I’ve heard it, all his views
But he looks so smug, like he’s found a new drug
And he’s not here to sell, he just wants to tell me his news.
Ah, but what will I do with this man at my door
Says he’s seen the light?
Ah, words fail me! And they’ve never let me down before
Yeah, words fail me – failed me at my front door.
I bet I think of something really clever to say
When he’s out of sight and out of range.
Oh, words come and words go, that’s true,
But why must words fail me now…
Just when I don’t want them to…

This is my Cousin Tony Bennett. Photo taken on his 21st Birthday- its fair to say he’s not looking his best for this shot…..but not all “selfies” are satisfactory- even for those (like our Tone) who thought they were Anthony Armstrong -Jones …..back in a time when people actually knew who AA-J actually was!! You can catch up with Tony on his web site called-Southern Farmer- check it out! . Rumour has it Tony’s coming out of retirement and will play bass on my next track……
