“While My Big Guitar Gently Weeps”
I look at the Hard Rock Cafe, see the people there eating
While my Big Guitar gently weeps
My love for him will not be fleeting
Still my Big Guitar gently weeps
I don’t know why nobody told you
The Guitar was installed in ’96
It cost half-a-million to mould you
I long to hold you
In 2004 I noticed the Big Guitar was burning
Yes, my Big Guitar gently weeps
Within a few months, he was returning
Still my Big Guitar gently weeps
I don’t know how you were alerted
That my efforts to play with you were concerted, too
Please don’t say that I’m perverted
I just really want to pluck you
I look with joy at how well you’re ageing
While my Big Guitar gently weeps
My lust for your tight little tuning pegs is raging
Alright, maybe I am a creep
Love all, serve… well, no one
The Hard Rock Cafe shut down in 2022, but I’m going to pull a few strings to ensure the 10-metre-tall Big Guitar remains a Surfers Paradise icon for generations to come. Some call me a hero, but I prefer to be known simply as the inimitable Bigs Bardot, the Greatest Friend the Big Things of Australia have ever known. You’re welcome.
Vale The Big Guitar
It’s with a heavy heart that I report The Big Guitar was torn down in March 2023, almost immediately after my enquiries. Perhaps my standing within the Gold Coast business community isn’t as robust as I thought it was. Oh well, there’s always The Big Banjos in Kin Kin!
