Skirmish: Birthday Songs (@dudachris)Liner Notes
@skirmish, @needscollab @needsmusic Just wrote to the prompt :-)
Has some rough meter but I like the idea!
Lyrics
V I It was a tight squeeze But you made it Really no other way to play it
It was a long haul But you got through No pall malls and tequila too
C Tossin’ cookies in the morning Broke back afternoon A bot fly would be better Crowning can’t begin too soon
V II Young, Tricked by the love Fell really quick Fleeting ecstasy for everlasting sick
Husband Know I love you While Laboring might think I’d Like to rip you head off and stuff you down the sink
C Tossin’ cookies in the morning Broke back afternoon A bot fly would be better Crowning can’t begin too soon
Bridge My babe, I felt the earth sway The evening of your birthday On reflecting was oh so cute As a teen now Act like a queen now I’d love to give you a boot
C Tossin’ cookies in the morning Broke back afternoon A bot fly would be better Crowning can’t begin too soon Love you babe, Love you babe, Every birthday, every day You're my little bot fly baby :-)
Comments
It took me til the second chorus to realize what Crowning meant in the context. Ouch, ouch, and ouch. It’s a sweet lyric of deep love and shallow annoyance asking the rhetorical question would you go through giving birth if you knew the baby would eventually be a teenager. Well, yeah, but still.
Wow the lyrics poured out here! I was chasing butterflies. Of the elusive nature! Cool dude.
Yup good lyric, a lot more in here than at a quick glance! Nice
