There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Well I did just finish a song a couple hours ago, so unfortunately I'm not writing one now except for this one. So this lyric will be about writing this lyric But I would rather appreciate you going there instead, after all if you have time to read this skirmish that time is better spent on songs I actually put effort into.

Lyrics

I think I've got a melody And I don't rhyme scheme Because everything that's good, will come spontaneously Usually by now, I'd have a title and a chorus Usually I'd wait a while, to see if it sticks in my mind

But this time, I want none of that stuff But this time, We're gonna keep it, gonna keep it too rough

Now I'm past the opening verse and I'm running out of ideas But it's too soon for a bridge, or is it?

[Interlude that builds but is cut off by the chorus]

But this time, I want none of that stuff But this time, We're gonna keep it, gonna keep it too rough

That's enough for you that is enough for me If you're entertained or bored it doesn't matter to me Cause nobody will give it the light of day And all the love and care that I put into it Will be wasted, will be wasted to soon

But this time, I want none of that stuff But this time, We're gonna keep it, gonna keep it too rough

I must confess, I don't know what I am doing I'm not the best and there's no one I was fooling So I guess we should wrap it up with nothing left to say Just to dwell on a thought that hasn't gone away

But this time, I want none of that stuff But this time, We're gonna keep it, gonna keep it too rough

This is soooo meta lol. You also are lightning fast! It was like 9 minutes after the hour when I noticed that you had already posted! I really like this though. It's fun and I do think it should have music!
