Songs: Give It Up

notes / gigs / releases

Published by Wipe Out Music Publishing

It really PEES ME OFF when posh/rich people decided to dispense advice to us lesser mortals on how to be as successful as they are. The advice is never "Here's how to how an incredibly rich parent/spouse who can fund your endevours" but rather "Ooh, just don't give it - if you do you are RUBBISH!"

This is TERRIBLE advice on many many levels, not least because OF COURSE you should give up - REGULARLY. It is of course good to try new things, but then if you NEVER give any of them up then you will almost immediately run out of time in the day to DO them - especially if you have one of those terribly vulgar and common "jobs" you hear about - and so not have the chance to get onto something you might actually be GOOD at.

Also, sometimes you just have to accept that there are things you won't EVER be any good at, and let it go - at my mature stage of youth I have, for instance, had to face the grim truth that I am probably NOT going to be leading Peterborough United to multiple promotions on the field (I can still do it as MANAGER one day, obviously), no matter HOW hard I eventually get round to training. To say otherwise is DAFT!
