Description A true story which took place in a town called Pentre in the Rhondda Valley of South Wales many years ago.

Lyrics Nobody Home - written February 2003 written

I was driving back home when my car broke down.
It was a hot sticky day and I was outside of town ,
Some fixing was needed at the side of the road,
‘Cos it looked to me like it was gonna explode.

Something had to be done the day was turning out sour,
So I rang myself a breakdown that was a twenty four hour,
I waited a while for them to get to the phone,
When an answer machine told me there’s nobody home.

Nobody home but we’ll be back in a while,
Back in a while you’re gonna have to re dial,
Nobody home we’re out ‘til who knows when,
But we’re a twenty four hour so you can call us again.

I spent about an hour walkin’ to and fro,
There was nothing I could but go along with the flow,
So I tried once more when I got the tone,
You’d better ring back because there’s nobody home

Nobody home but we’ll be back in a while,
Back in a while you’re gonna have to re dial,
Nobody home we’re out ‘til who knows when,
But we’re a twenty four hour so you can call us again.

BREAK 8 BARS

I knew by now that I was wasting my time,
I’d used up all money and it was hitting on nine,
I abandoned my motor and was on my way,
But I must have heard those words a dozen times today

Nobody home but we’ll be back in a while,
Back in a while you’re gonna have to re dial,
Nobody home we’re out ‘til who knows when,
But we’re a twenty four hour so you can call us again.

	Can you tell a story, man! Absolutely great lyrics and your vocals, composition is great as well. Man, I'd love to hear some boogie guitar throughout. But the solo breaks are fantastic. As for the true story, well, ouch! Glad to see it was of some musical inspiration, though. You're one of the better songwriting talents, really something great.

	Honky Tonk Piano. "But we%u2019re a twenty four hour so you can call us again." Yeah, that's inspiration for the blues. Nothing to do but write some music. It might have been worth it. this is good. Thanks.

Hi there
Yes, but actually it was in Ton Pentre. I used to go up there once a week with a job I was doing. The people up there were great and one lady there always used to make me lunch. Her name was Mrs.Jones and she eventually went to live in Porthcawl. Isn't that interesting. I'm writing a long reply as it took me so long to get back to this page I thought I'd make it worth while with some really interesting background stuff about the song. What happens is that I press submit, like I will in a minute with this and then it tells me it can't find the page I requested, though I haven't actually requested a page ! anyway after that another page comes up and so it goes on. It used to be fine until they improved it.

Thank you for commenting anyway Wendy, that's what I really wanted to say.

John.

	I think it's the same wherever you go in the uk in general. No one seems to care if they get your custom or not. Glad you liked it Len and thanks for commenting, John

	woofer3 said 115 days ago
