I didn't know 1c was a dime. I thought it was 10c and a nickle was 5c followed by a quarter, a rapper and then a greenback.
Down here it was a farthing, a halfpenny, a penny, thrupence, a zac, a dina/shilling or bob, 2 bob, a sovereign , a 10 shilling note, a pound, there was a special name for 1 pound & one shilling but I can't recall, a fiver, a tenner, & not many folk went passed that.
After 14th Feb 1966 we went Amereecan and it was 1c, 2cs, a zac, bob, 5 bob, an oxford, 2 oxfords, a fiver, a tenner, a fifty but since we "floated" the economy its 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2, all of these as coin with these as "folding money" $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 & no change except for the value.
Guess who we blame for the devaluation of our cuurency & the loss of the little copper things?

lol priceless..i just hate guys like this...they come on here wanting a critique for something they "supposingly" already copyrighted....2 funny! :rolleyes:

Actually anything you write is copyrighted automatically as soon as it's in tangible form...

I'm assuming he wouldn't register the work until it's finished...and I'm guessing that's why he's asking for sugesstions...?
 
You're seem awfully affected for a guy who calls people nazis.

exactly. Don't confuse a copyright with a registration of a copyright, Mark.

i chose the latter...because if its copyrighted..then whats our opinions gonna do?...if he changes it...hes gotta go and copyright it again...so its pointless to ask for a critique on something he supposingly already copyrighted. :rolleyes:



Hi Mark,
I kinda like what you are doing. This is hot! And I must let you know that I AM A WRITER NOT A FIGHTER. And YES! After I make the changes I will register the lyrics again. I tell you what, maybe we should come together sometime and write a song and not just a song--a hit song. Because I think this is what this board is all about, You can set the time and the day, Then send me a Personal Message or just tell me right here.

I await your urgent response

I also am a writer and not a fighter. Thus, I constantly have the shit kicked out of me.
 
Hey Irwin...I'm trying to understand the lyrics...My experience has been (in the United States) that If I buy something that costs 19.95 (after tax is added) and give the shop owner a 20.00 bill, then I will get a 0.05 cent coin (a nickle) back. Your lyrics seem to be about an financial enviroment (in another country) where (in the same example I just used) you would not get any change back (since 19.95 is so close to 20.00).............so after many years ("since 1959") all that unreturned change could (if returned all at once) add up to a decent payday. Is this the meaning of your song?

If you truly believe this statement..you would not add the copyright symbol to everything you post here.And yes..id write a tune with ya anyday..and you can copyright the hell out of it with your name for all i care.And believe me...I dont try to go out of my way to be a hardass..dont get me wrong.
