Junk Start My Heart! (I Was Waiting For You)
Skirmish: Malapropism (@ragbag)Liner Notes
Y'all, I lost my voice and I can't sing a lick. But writing a song full of malaprops and "eggcorns" was so fun! Came to the skirmish a little late but made up for that by making it VERY LONG, haha. My biggest problem was autocorrect kept "fixing" my lyrics. :)
Just yesterday I read a Twitter comment where someone said "I think you're putting her too much on a pedal stool..." And there's a youtuber I like who says "Whenever" when she really means "when." I want to write three more of these.

Lyrics
V1 For all intensive purposes, You’ve put me on a pedal stool And, oh, in one full swoop I fell for you
V2 I’d nip it in the butt, except I’ve had a heart listed for sell Supposably you love me And I do, too
Chorus I’ve got another think coming! I won’t be biting my time! Junk-start my heart Cause it takes two to tangle! All those old wise tales were true: I was waiting for you!
Bridge1 Whenever I was small I remember having dreams Valentimes, I didn’t care for candy Whenever you appeared I felt I got my just deserves You told me that the ghost was clear Somebody understands me
V3 Because, right from the gecko, no, You didn’t half-fast anything I took you at your work: You'd never go
V4 And our world wind romance has got My sick sense overfloating I can see the future Here we go...
Chorus I’ve got another think coming! I won’t be biting my time! Junk-start my heart Cause it takes two to tangle! All those old wise tales were true: I was waiting for you!
Bridge2 This ol' doggy-dog world Had made me weary of love Everyone takes everyone for granite With one half-hazard kiss Our pasts were water ‘neath the fridge Suddenly I’d found my place In the mist of this wide planet!
Chorus I’ve got another think coming! I won’t be biting my time! Junk-start my heart Cause it takes two to tangle All those old wise tales were true: I was waiting for you!
REPEAT CHORUS
OUTRO In lame man’s terms, please rest to sure Our love will always, always be On accident, my life was changed Whenever you loved me

Ah, if someday you could just get organeziezed, @newukenewyork , lol, then you'd really write a wordsmith-worthy lyric. Not! Quite cool is this tongue-in-cheek-like write and all, but let me thimk, what else did I want to say? Oh, yeah, gnarly how you worked Motley Crue's heart--with on-target subliminal twist--into your chorus.
