This started as a blog. But as soon as I’d written: ‘it was a door, but it’s not a door anymore’ I knew the genre had to be country and western. Not sure what the tune is, but it would fit to plenty of country tunes I recon.
Apologies for the following …..
Back Door Blues
It once was a door
Open onto the heath*
Then I felt the cold floor
From the breeze blocks beneath
Ohhhoooo …. The door
Just isn’t a door
Anymore
Oh it once was a door
Open onto the heath
Then we found the wood floor
Wouldn’t fit underneath
Ohhhoooo …. The door
Just isn’t a door
Anymore
Oh it once was a door
Open onto the heath
Then I felt the wind blowing raw
From the leak underneath
Ohhhoooo …. The door
Just isn’t a door
Anymore
Oh it once was a door
Open onto the heath
But it just wasn’t convenient to have a door there as it got in the way of the layout of the sitting room
Ohhhoooo …. The door
Just isn’t a door
Anymore
So it’s no longer a door
I’ve admitted defeat
It’ll be fixed shut for evermore
With a sill and kingspan beneath
Ohhhoooo …. The door
Just isn’t a door
Anymore
* it’s not a heath, it’s a bog/moor. Which is a bit like a heath but wetter.
