Story behind the song
This song is based on a short story I wrote, same name, title, I am into message songs big time. This one, Our Vets-The story a Vet was drinking himself to death and always with him his rosary beads and his gun. Tragic story, one rook flat flashing neon lights say rooms for rent. Different sound articulation of Vox different only song I have with this articulation.
Lyrics
Arthur's Haven Arthur's walls are Gray, like the shades, from nicotine stains In his one room flat, neon lights flash on and on. Insomnia is his daily life, filled with pain and regret Clinging on to his rosary beads , his purple heart, a fifth of gin. The small thing is little relief from the pouring sweat Knock at the door, dinner has arrived Six a clock again, he turns on his eight track cassette No one knows in that tiny room a human lives half drunken man, in the midst -brown cold winds when dinners done, another drink to slow Arthur's Pain Smell of cheap cigars smoke settles like smog Arthur thinks what might have been Then he picks up his revolver, his best friend Muttering tonight's the night, then he goes to bed Hypothesized by the blinding sign that says, Rooms for rent Rooms for rent------ Arthur thinks what might have been He picks up his revolver, his best friend Muttering tonight's the night than he goes to bed Hypothesized by the blinding sign that says Rooms for rent OH, Arthur's haven, Oh ho Arthur's haven-Oh ho, Arthur's haven Arthur thinks of what might have been Than he pulls out his best friend Cause to-nite will be the night Arthur is dead Steps running up the squeaky stairs The open door confirms, that Arthur checked out, no longer there Arthur's haven.....

I'm finding it difficult to comment on this song Danny. It's a very upsetting subject & there are many families out there who have been traumatized by such an event. I think you've illustrated what an uncompassionate & lonely world we live in & the song has been very well performed and recorded. But morally, I feel uncomfortable when I hear tragic events set to music. That's just my opinion - I'm sure there are many more ppl who feel this is a story that needs to be highlighted & will see it as a means of helping those affected by it.
