Skirmish: Close Encounters (@lennie)Liner Notes
Written for the "Close Encounter" Skirmish. Lyrics and Melody completed within the hour. But recording had to take place after I had performed my duties at our allotment (vegetable garden). #surf #Baritone Guitar
Lyrics
V1 (Am) What was that bright light (D) in the sky? How (C) swiftly towards us (Am) it did fly Then that flash as you (D) disappeared (C) That was so bi(Am)zarrely weird You'd (C) said that you were Westphali(D)an But (F) I think now you (G) might have been an ali(Am)en
V2 (Am) Were you not human (D) after all? The (C) very idea is (Am) off-the-wall Thinking back it (D) all seems strange It's (C) left me feeling (Am) quite deranged I (C) put your strangeness down to your German (D) roots But (F) maybe with some (G) planet you were in ca(Am)hoots
CHORUS When (D) I think alien girl, I can't dis(Am)count her Have (D) I been living through a close en(Am)counter? If (F) meeting one is as the third de(D)fined (F) Sleeping with one (G) must be the fourth (Am) kind
(Am) It hadn't occurred to me (D) heretofore But the (C) more I think of it, the (Am) more I'm sure Your love making was (D) so erotic But (C) that third breast was a (Am) bit exotic And (C) glowing in the dark, well that was a (D) clue Who(F)ever you were (G) I so miss (Am) you!

Really enjoyed listening to this, the lyrics hooked me and I had to stay for the fun in this song. "I put your strangeness down to your German roots" LOL Made me laugh as a german girl :D

Ha what fun ! Cool rhyme... "You'd said that you were Westphalian But I think now you might have been an alien"

Ha ha ha! So funny, especially that last line the chorus. Third breast. What was that movie with Arnold?

Love making erotic, and a third breast was a bit exotic, were my favorite lines, as well as glowing in the dark. Should make a fun tune.

Weirdly, my science fiction song ideas never go this direction. Worked quite well for you though! Wonder if there was a child and who the child resembled. If a glowing youth shows up someday at your door, you’ll know.
