about

This is the first song I've released from my forth coming album, Songs in the Key of Butt Hurt.
It's also one of the original tunes from latest cabaret show "A Musical Enema by Michael Wheatley" showing this Sydney Fringe 2023.

lyrics

The melody goes
While I'm in the throes
Of a breakdown.
I turn up my nose
At the thought of the ones
I dread to hear.

Still I'm here,
The music is never ending
With me and my old piano.
My old piano.

I hold back a tear
And I look for a way
To change the day.
Night is still here
And there's not a star
To wish upon.
I take off my clothes
And notice the rain
As it lands upon my skin.
I swallow a dose
But this medicine
It ain't no remedy.

Still I'm here,
The music is never ending
With me and my old piano.
My old piano.

It's alright,
I'm withe black and white.
And it's ok,
Even at night you light the way!

The melody goes
While I'm in the throes
Of a breakdown.
I turn up my nose
At the thought of the ones
I dread to hear.

Still I'm here,
The music is never ending
With me and my old piano.
My old piano.

Michael Wheatley Sydney, Australia

From underground funk rock in Kings Cross in the nineties to touring nationally with his own fringe shows it has been, for Michael, a very long way to the shop to get his sausage roll. Along that road though he has moved many a soul with his passion, unique sound and prolific songwriting. He's the kind of artist who you're lucky to know about and will always remember once you do. ... more
