Just heard the sad news that Mott The Hoople bass player Pete Watts has died after six year battle with cancer. Saw him couple of times on the 09 and 13 reunion shows. Love this band, will be sadly missed. R.I.P 'OVEREND'.
I love Mott as well Mike saw them 3 times the last in Glasgow a couple of years ago. Rip Pete. It's been a shit couple of days
Rest In Peace Pete
Oh if my wheel could take another turn
and if my life replaced itself again,
I wouldn't want a single thing to change.
Oh it's been good, though it's been strange.
And if my dreams were willing to come true,
oh I would not even try to force them through.
I'm sure there's things I've missed, that others preached.
The goals they reached, they weren't for me.
Rest in peace,
even though the worries seem to mount,
don't let them count.
Rest in peace.
Throw all those miles and paper smiles away.
You make willow pattern pictures through the rain.
And swallow when your heart begins to breathe,
just like the birds, do what they please.
'Cause you know, we ain't gonna be here all that long
and when I go I want to know I sung.
If there's a road ahead, I'll jump right in.
Just got to win, this is my hymn.
Rest in peace,
even though your worries seem to mount,
don't let them count.
Rest in peace.
Rest in peace.
