Hi Roy.

It has a workable melody but to be honest, I see too many lines that are either laboured and wordy or seem to be there just to make the rhyme.
Do people still say "To keep the wolf away"?
You paint a picture of a hapless character and a depressing existence.
It needs an uplift somewhere which I thought kicked in with the opening of the chorus but then the chorus didn't follow through.
Maybe you could start by removing the word "Gone" to "Looking for" E.G:

"Looking for the Wonderland
I dreamt of as a child
Up there with a famous band
The fans are going wild"

That way he hasn't given up on his dream.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
