mc5 - ... so help me God.

I used to drive a cement lorry, but gave it up because I wanted something more concrete.

I became a partner in a building firm, but the other guy screwed me over and bolted.

I worked in a fireworks factory, but the work fizzled out.

I used to be a terrible songwriter until I composed myself.

I was once going to be Chief Photographer for the local rag and was rather disappointed when the editor told me I was no longer in the picture.
