Never let the chances pass by ... One day you might find yourself thinking: 'man I have been a fool, foolish like I can't forgive'.
Especially when the 'chance' is the cutest girl living down the road !!!

Story behind the song
One evening I was talking to my wife on our terrace and she was telling me of her friend living in a house called Begger's Roost (someplace in the UK). She had freckles on her face, a soft bump on her nose and kristal clear blue eyes. After few years she left Begger's Roost to go to London trying to be a star. We were having a glass of wine, just relaxing after a day of hard work for both. I was holding my acoustic guitar - as always - and strumming on it, while listening.
Suddenly my wife went: "andrea you are terrible ! you keep playing guitar while I am talking to you !". I replied: "darling don't treat me unfair ... I am listening to all your words".
You bet I did it: I wrote a song outta of 'em !
(dedicated to Ashley Taylor-Wood, my wonderful wife)

---------------------------------------------
She lived down the road in a house called Begger's Roost
she had freckles on her face and a soft bump on her nose
she was the cutest thing I happen to get close
man I didn't know how to start to talk
as I was a fool, foolish like you can't believe
ring her up the house almost everyday
she answers with a smile saying simply Begger's Roost
but I never did the talk feling like I was blocked
so I never asked baby what's your name
as I was a fool, foolish like you can't believe
try to force myself being strong like a man
damn I wanted aske her out
better get it done before
before it'll be late
found al last the nerve begging for a date
went straight down at Begger's Roost
but she got the bus and left
left for the coast
she lived down the road in a house called Begger's Roost
she had freckles on her face and blue eyes telling the truth
she had to leave us all and went to be a star
but I'll never know if she got that far
Man I've been a fool, foolish as I can't forgive
(Andrea Cremona)
