"Ten-Pin Rehab"

A set of lyrics for an unfinished song intended for an extended version of Hard Rock Hotel, provisionally titled "Off Cutts". Unsurprisingly this track - along with another 22 songs split between myself and Steve - never got finished (or in some cases started) for that project. On reflection, these lyrics wouldn't have added anything significant to the HRH narrative.


TEN-PIN REHAB
Going down the bowling alley
Knock down all those pins
Makes me feel real damn happy
The strength it takes to win
Pickin’ up a big fat ball
‘N lobbing it down the track
Just to take my mind off drugs
And the sins I’ve commited over the years, innit!
Going down the bowling alley
Tonight at twelve
Time has no concept
In my little World
Gonna bash some little pins
With a huge big bowling ball
Power feels so damn good
Even though I’m small!

Ten-pin, rehab
Oh yeah!
Ten-pin, rehab
Oh yeah!
Ten-pin, rehab
Oh yeah!
Ten-pin, rehab
Oh yeah!
Ten-pin, rehab
Oh yeah!
Ten-pin, rehab
Oh yeah!
Ten-pin, rehab
Oh yeah! – I’m gonna play to forget about all the sins I’ve commited!
