I wrote and finished this track a couple of days after Amy Winehouse died. It's about the cult of "Club 27", which has a large number of great Musicians as Members, who all died full of talent at the same young age.
lyrics
27
Why do all good ones die?
Never reaching their ceiling.
Butterflies in the sky,
Delicate wings aren’t healing.
Tell me…
Why do all the good ones,
Why do all the good ones,
Die early?
Tell me…
Why do all the good ones,
Why do all the good ones,
Die early?
She lived a privileged life,
Singing from her soul,
Rags to riches,
Cocaine grips its
Fingers on her bones.
Her demons were quite real,
She couldn’t fight.
Earth to earth,
Ashes to ashes,
And so the story goes….
Why do all good ones die?
Never reaching their ceiling.
Butterflies in the sky,
Delicate wings aren’t healing.
Tell me…
Why do all the good ones,
Why do all the good ones,
Die early?
Tell me…
Why do all the good ones,
Why do all the good ones,
Die early?
Johnson, Jones, Hendrix, Joplin, Mor-ri-son
Kurt Cobain,
27 rocking halos in heaven,
Winehouse brings champagne.
Club, coincidence, curse of Rock and Roll?
Saturn’s Return?
The Grim Reaper he’s a cheater
Of Musos we can’t clone.
Why do all good ones die?
Never reaching their ceiling
Butterflies in the sky,
Delicate wings aren’t healing.
Tell me…
Why do all the good ones,
Why do all the good ones,
Die early?
Tell me…
Why do all the good ones,
Why do all the good ones,
Die early?
27, 27, 27…
Oh what a shame.
27, 27, 27…
Oh what a shame.
Why do all the good ones,
Why do all the good ones,
Die early?
Why do all the good ones,
Why do all the good ones,
Die early?
Why do all good ones die?
Never reaching their ceiling
Butterflies in the sky,
Delicate wings aren’t healing.
