Loudon Wainwright III

In Hastings, when I was younger
Starting to play the guitar
I could just strum along
But I didn’t write songs
And I needed some repertoire
And when I busked on the street
My set-list was completely written by
Our next act
My versions should remain unheard
You’d far prefer
The actual songs and the actual words
Of Loudon Wainwright the Third
