Liner Notes

#funny #folk #poppunk #needsmusic #needscollab

Read a bio on here, can’t remember who… Ugh,…where they said they initially thought "deep" (paraphrasing :-) ) songs had to be serious/dour and happy songs were fluff... I had left a message on their page that they inspired me to take on the challenge and it started well enough and then took a comedic turn this morning and here it is! LoL! There's been no edits and the person/perspective I/you - has to be worked out - don't want to be preachy - LoL!

This is one of those where I just like the sounds of how the words read :-)

Lyrics

Intro Hangin’ in the shallow end Of this desperation Both my feet are stuck in muck And hate this gross sensation

C Just a little sweetener, is The neat treat that you need… Annnnd Be the baker, your own cake maker baking, the cake king of happiness Be the cake king of happiness

V I A better batter, in the bay Better in your bowl Happiness can be disguised But it’s always in your soul

Find the deepest happiness Sweeten it with joys Won’t float the boats of desperation On a rising tide of toys

C Just a little sweetener, is The neat treat that you need… Annnnd Be the baker, your own cake maker baking, the cake king of happiness Be the cake king of happiness

V II Anchored in a bay of bliss Skip wants I’m told I need Planting satisfaction… That will be crowding out the weeds

Don’t believe I’ve missed the boat And I’m driving myself insane Walking through the darkest tunnel Hope that light aint’ the next train

C Just a little sweetener, is
The neat treat that you need… Annnnd Be the baker, your own cake maker baking, the cake king of happiness Be the cake king of happiness

V III Like a layer cake of crap Kept drilling till I tapped Frosted layer of happiness And just kept eating that!

Your’s might be reversed And the frosting is the worst Then scrape away the shit And your left with it… (happy, hap, hap, happy… hap, hap, happy… happiness)

Bridge Find it in Marianna Find it on the bench In the deepest darkest waters Of the 7 mile trench

Find it on my stoop As I step into the morn Find it in my ratty jeans paint stained, thread bare and a-torn

Find it in the low end Of my 200 dollar bass Dumped the fun of a 4001 For amore 4 string Spanish taste

C Just a little sweetener, could just be the neat treatener The neat sweet treat that you need… Annnnd … (happy, hap, hap, happy… hap, hap, happy… happiness) Be the baker, your own cake maker baking, the cake king of happiness… (happy, hap, hap, happy… hap, hap, happy… happiness) Be the cake king of happiness Be the cake king of happiness Be the cake king of happiness

Oh my gosh, I've given up on trying to copy down all of my favorite lines. This is so much fun. I think all songs are needed in this world. Sometimes we just need to smile!

Oh is word playful, but the message is deeper! Gotta get the mix right!

This one is such a fun ride! Love the playful wordplay and how the baking metaphor runs all the way through. Feels like it would be fun to hear with the right bouncy energy behind it!
