What's this song about?

1
The very day I purchased it
2
I christened my guitar
3
As my monophonic symphony
4
Six string orchestra
5
In my room I'd practice late
6
They'd leave me alone
7
My mother said, "You're nothing yet
8
To make the folks write home"
9
I'd play at all the talent nights
10
I'd finish, they'd applaud
11
Some called it muffled laughter
12
I just figured they were odd
13
So I went up for an encore
14
But they screamed they'd had enough
15
Or maybe I just need a group
16
To help me do my stuff
17
And so I'd dream a bass will join me
18
And fill the bottom in
19
And maybe now some lead guitar
20
So it would not sound so thin
21
I need some drums to set the beat
22
And help me keep in time
23
And way back in the distance
24
Some strings would sound so fine
25
And we would play together
26
Like fine musicians should
27
And it would sound like music
28
And the music would sound good
29
But in real life I'm stuck with
30
That same old formula
31
Me and my monophonic symphony
32
Six string orchestra
33
Oh, I write love songs for my favorite girl
34
And sing them soft and slow
35
But before I get to finish
36
She says she has to go
37
She's nice and says "Excuse me
38
I've got to find a bar
39
I think I need refreshment
40
For I hear you play guitar"
41
Oh I sent a demo tape I made
42
To the record companies
43
Two came back address unknown
44
One came back C.O.D
45
Of course I got form letters
46
All saying pleasant things
47
Like suggesting I should find a trade
48
Where I would not have to sing
49
And so I'd dream a bass will join me
50
And fill the bottom in
51
And maybe now some lead guitar
52
So it would not sound so thin
53
I need some drums to set the beat
54
And help me keep in time
55
And way back in the distance
56
Some strings would sound so fine
57
And we would play together
58
Like fine musicians should
59
And it would sound like music
60
And the music would sound good
61
But in real life I'm stuck with
62
That same old formula
63
Me and my monophonic symphony
64
Six string orchestra
65
I've been taking guitar lessons
66
But my teacher just took leave
67
It was something about a break down
68
Or needing a reprieve
69
I know I found my future
70
So I will persevere
71
And hold onto my dream of
72
Making music to their ears
73
And so I'd dream a bass will join me
74
And fill the bottom in
75
And maybe now some lead guitar
76
So it would not sound so thin
77
I need some drums to set the beat
78
And help me keep in time
79
And way back in the distance
80
Some strings would sound so fine
81
And we would play together
82
Like fine musicians should
83
And it would sound like music
84
And the music would sound good
85
But in real life I'm stuck with
86
That same old formula
87
Me and my monophonic symphony
88
Six string orchestra
89
Oh finger tip
90
Oh some day, I'm gonna be a star
