Entry 018 - Lost My Six String
(Song by the Stripes and Spots)

‘Lost My Six,’ was a song I only really started listening to properly in the Stable. I’d heard it around the Wastelands a few times before that but never really sat and realized the story in the words.

It’s another fun song, and I think when things started going southwards, really southwards, for me and my friends, that’s when I started having fun. Or at least, that was when I thought I was having fun. Fun is in the eye of the beholder, when the drink is involved…

Lost my Six String
By the Stripes and Spots

1.
The girls and me were due to play,
At the ‘Old Smokey Club’ on Los Pegasus Way.
But with first night nerves we went out for a drink,
And when we got back to the club, we were in for a sink~
Our changing room door was bust wide open,
Our stuff all over and I’m not even joking,
Our instruments were as good as gone,
And our good ol’ band had nothing to play on!
We took to the manager, he just shrugged and said,
“You still gotta perform or you’re as good as dead!”
We didn’t quite know what we were gonna do,
The girls looked at me and said “it’s up to you!”

Chorus
Whoa~
I have lost my six string,
We are down to play,
At Los Pegasus Way.
Some-pony
Has stolen our kit,
And if we don’t get it back,
We’ll be leaving in sacks!

2.
We were meant to be on stage in an hour,
I cried “we have to go into the city to scour,
Around for our equipment before we’re in trouble,”
We galloped into the town to get onto our puzzle.
We asked around, put our hopes out there,
The city folk just shrugged, and said “we don’t really care,”
But finally we got ourselves a breakthrough,
When some helpful pony gave us a really big clue!
“We saw some scoundrels running away with your stuff,
They went into that alley, they didn’t look so tough.
If you’re real quick you should catch them,” so we ran,
To capture these villains and defeat their plan!

Chorus
Whoa~
I have lost my six string,
We are down to play,
At Los Pegasus Way.
Some-pony
Has stolen our kit,
And if we don’t get it back,
We’ll be leaving in sacks!

3.
We burst into the den of our wicked criminals,
And to our shock we found a bunch of foals!
They looked to us with regret in their eyes,
“Please don’t be mad,” came their touching cries.
“Our own instruments were taken by an evil gang,
We just want to play,” they hit me with a guilty-pang.
I turned to my band, and we came up with an idea,
“If you can play, then we’ll give you an ear,”
The filly with my six-string struck up a song,
And her crew joined in, their talent really was strong!
When they finish we just smiled and said,
“You’re coming with us, because you guys can shred,”

Chorus 2
Whoa~
I found my six string,
We are down to play,
At Los Pegasus Way.
Some foals
Had taken our kit,
But it was just a misunderstanding
So we let them join in our singing.

4.
We got back to the club with our new band members,
But the manager looked at them, said the couldn’t join us.
We said, “If you’re gonna be like that, then we aren’t gonna play,”
He said, “If you aren’t gonna play then you’re gonna have to pay!”
We thought about it quick and inspiration came,
“Alright,” we said, “we’ll play your game,”
And out into the street we went with our group intact,
And there we played and sang and performed our act.
The best bit about it, Los Pegasus could see us for free,
And not a bit did that nasty manager ever see!
And now we play as an awesome octuple,
Do screw us over or we’ll find a loop hole!l

Chorus 2 (x2)
Whoa~
I found my six string,
We are down to play,
At Los Pegasus Way.
Some foals
Had taken our kit,
But it was just a misunderstanding
So we let them join in our singing.

Song for this chapter; Step Around - Wasteland Wailers (sung by Brittany Church)

I realised we hadn’t had a song for a while and this bouncy little number was well over due! It’s inspired by the tracks of the Wailers, including but not limited to ‘Step Around,’ ‘Dare Master,’ and ‘Let’s Go Shopping!’

However, for once I didn’t have an actual tune in mind when I wrote this, I just wanted a nice jazzy number with plenty of brass. I think, if someone ever picks this up and makes a real song out of it, they’ll have a lot of fun with it.

Thank you again for reading up to this moment. Ask me anything.
If this is when you stop reading, goodbye and safe travels.

If you're still strapped in for the ride, see you in the next chapter.
and kids, please. Don’t go in Fluttershy’s shed. It smells funny.

All good things,
Duskhoof
