Skirmish: Didn't press send (@richardmasters)Liner Notes
#punk #overtimeskirmish @blakeravemusic and i did this for the skirmish the other night, we got it more or less done but i had to do a bit more on it to get it postable.
Lyrics
i was on my computer the other day a message of urgency so much to say i thought long and hard what i wished to convey then tip tappety tap i was typing away
i wrote every detail, didnt skip a word i wasn't even silly, which i would have preferred helps keep things light, so i have heard no - i was serious so things don't get blurred
i covered each nuance that rrthe matter demanded i was typing so long i became numb-handed ideas were laid out, built up and expanded i was honest, up-front, sincere and candid
waited for reply, the whole of the weekend i thought that it was someone on whom i could depend i called them up and told them that they really did offend then saw it in my drafts cos i didnt press send

Great beat and catchy melody. You've got my feet tapping. Oh, it's too short, though. I was really enjoying it. Guess I'll just have to play it again. I really like this lyric too. Your last line makes me laugh. I especially like the repeated last line of every verse, which makes it sound so serious. Ha ha, like "sincere and candid". This is a lot of fun. I love it!

Straightahead punk here; don't get blurred. Oh that twist at the end; unexpected dagger. I wrote a similar joke lyric this FAWM for a person hosting a party where no one showed up, and they are having a pity party, only in the last couplet to realize they put the wrong date on the evite event. This modern life, eh? It's hard to be modern people.

Rocking cool! And this is all too familiar! So many thing I rush off to do to get them to someone and find them in my draft box. Great sound and wonderful response to the prompt!

Great twist ending, haha. Interesting theme for a punk tune. The vocal delivery goes great with the instrumentation and love the synth on the track. very on brand woobie song, each line perfectly arrayed and clever, taking the common place and making it fun. favorite line was probably "i was typing so long i became numb-handed", but they are all great. great job.

Hahahaha, this is amazing! Lyrics are brilliant, and I love the instrumentation! Well done, you two!

Fabulous. This has happened to me too!
Great collab. Classic Wobbie lyrics, and that some big sounds with the guitars! Love this.

I especially like the third stanza and how "it falls trippingly off the tongue" as they say

That backing rocks, laughed loud at the end, yes I am guilty too. Great track again. 😎

This would have been a monster in the day. Why? because you have the musical drive and the lyrics are far better than anything then! Great song and omg have we not all done that. Another Wobbie observation win!

The best!!! So hilarious, well written and executed. A brilliant song all around. Great driving guitar and the little added vocal embellishments are priceless. A stroke of genius…

Love the very relatable theme here! Great story! Btw I can't access the audio. Maybe it's my computer but it may be the upload? Cheers, Smudge

I would repurpose this one as "Didn't hit Submit" and use it for all the FAWM comments I thought I left...I'm hoping you two will do a whole EP and then Album together. On this one, I'm imagining a bridge where you call out the other person for being such an irresponsible, expletive, expletive jerk for not replying to you....I like the urgency of the music and of course the signature self-deprecating humor.
