Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
Original idea was to write a song called "Mersey Girl"... but "Daddy's Girl" offered a better story line. But I kept the Merseybeat theme and recorded it with my Horfner Verithin semi acoustic/electric (Zelda) and Hofner Verithin Bass (Frank). The former was purchased in the same shop the Beatles used to buy their guitars in... and dates back to around 1963, the bass a similar age. Nice to celebrate them! I do sometimes think of them as my "other" children lol
Lyrics
Daddy's Girl Adrian J Pratt 2/10/18 You're Daddy's Girl, His Precious Pearl Dads got a gun, Its no fun You are so dear, No-one gets near Which is a pity, You're so pretty I need to work on a plan To steal that Daddy's girl And make her mine. I bought some flowers, For mother He slammed the door, I ran for cover A shot rang out, There was no doubt My attention, Was not welcome I need to work on a plan To steal that Daddy's girl And make her mine. Instrumental And then I came up with the plan To impress her father A foolproof way to make her mine, all mine, so fine. I took a bath, I got a job I sobered up, Stopped being a slob I rang the bell, He opened the door He said “Son, Have we met before?.. Why don't you just come on in... Have you met my wife Let's talk about the High school prom..." Forty years on, we're doing fine The plan worked, the girl is mine We’ve got a daughter, I have taught her She's Daddy's girl, My precious pearl Before you even look in her direction You better work out a damn good plan . 'Cos she's Daddy's girl And she's my world Daddy's girl She's my world Daddy's....... girl
