Keef Richards
Here's a little dedication poem to a man i'm sure has touched all our hearts, been in all our hospitals, played all our stages, nicked all our drugs and blown all our minds:
Let me keep this brief
How did you do it Keef?
Be a fucked up raving junkie
And then still be rocking n funky
Cracked you head upon the floor
Drained the fluid and still did a tour
Nearly fucked yourself to death
While getting high on crystal meth
Your age is closing on a century
Your shows are still the one to see
They help you onstage with a great big drip
And you still got a cigarette stuck to your lip
Your veins are showing all shrivelled and blue
But when you start riffing it’s a dream come true
You’ve had hookers and drugs and Gibson Sg’s
Rolls royces and hotels with broken t.vs.
Brunette, red head and blonde groupies
Even put syringes in the back of your knees.
You’ve done it all beyond belief
And how the fuck did you do it Keef?
