The Song Writing Song

Let’s write a song about writing a song
and as we’re writing, we’re writing it wrong
We wrote words in places where they don’t belong
Turns out we’ve been writing it right all along
Let’s sing a song about singing a song
and as we’re singing, we’re singing it wrong
We sang words in places where they don’t belong
Turns out we’ve been singing a sing-along song
Let’s interpret a song about writing a song
and as we interpret, we interpret it wrong
We interpreted lyrics where they don't belong
Turns out we’ve interpreted it right all along
Let’s remember a song about writing a song
and as we remember, we ‘member it wrong
We placed some words where they don’t seem right
Why do we remember it wrong when we write?
Let’s forget the song about writing a song
and as we’re forgetting, we’ve forgotten wrong
We forgot the words, just not where they belong
Turns out we forgot we did not all along
Let’s love a song about writing a song
and as we’re loving, we’re loving it wrong
We loved words in places where they don’t belong
Turns out we’ve been falling in love all along
Let’s hate a song about writing a song
and as we’re hating, we’re hating it wrong
We hate words in places where they don’t belong
Turns out we’ve been hating ourselves all along
Let’s lose a song about writing a song
and as we’re losing, we’re losing it wrong
We lost all the places words did not belong
Turns out we’ve been losing our minds all along
Let’s find a song about writing a song
and as we’re finding, we’re finding it wrong
We found words in places where they don’t belong
Turns out we’ve been finding out right all along
Let’s hum a song hmm...
Let’s end a song about writing a song
and as we’re ending, we’ve ended it wrong
We ended in places words did not belong
Turns out we’ve ended up right all along
Let’s rewrite a song about writing a song
and as we’re rewriting, rewriting it wrong
Rewrote words in places where they don’t belong
Turns out we’ve re-write-ed it right all along

Unlike You
03:42
|

I don’t like suits and ties,
but I detest when you scrutinize
I don’t like wearing pants,
but I despise the endless surveillance
I don’t like horseradish sauce,
but I can’t bear another loss
I don’t like Canada geese,
but I hate that our love was only a lease
I unlike you
Try, unlike you
Bye. Unlike you
Cry, unlike you
I unlike you
Try, unlike you
Bye. Unlike you
Cry, unlike you
I don’t like playing cards,
but I abhor your disregards
I don’t like milk in tea,
but I can’t stand when you lie to me
I don’t like being wrong,
but I’m averse to another breakup song
I don’t like to misconstrue,
but I object to the thought of you
I unlike you
Try, unlike you
Bye. Unlike you
Cry, unlike you
I unlike you
Try, unlike you
Bye. Unlike you
Cry, unlike you
I don’t like to water ski,
but I’ve had enough of your inadequacy
I don’t like taking the stairs,
but I’m so sick of our toxic affairs
I don’t like popular art,
but I can’t stomach one more broken heart
I don’t like living on the second floor,
but I don’t care about you anymore
I unlike you
Try, unlike you
Bye. Unlike you
Cry, unlike you
I unlike you
Try, unlike you
Bye. Unlike you
Cry, unlike you
Why unlike you?
*sigh* I liked you…

Another Song in G
04:15

Not that I’m uninspired or virtuosically inept
or find the need to mind and heed a typical precept
Not that I’m apathetic or aesthetically naive
but I’ve my major reasons why I picked this very key
It’s resonant and practical
It’s pleasant and it’s free
My mother always said to write
Another song in G
Facilitating fingerings for tonic, doms, and subs
Transcendently pure, incidentally fewer flounders, flops, and flubs
Generating general pitch centrality
but I’m partial to marshal through this sol tonality
It’s PC and reliable
It’s ABCDE-Z!
Don’t bother to sharpen or to harp on
‘nother song in G
Beyond a simple tune with sympathetic overtones
It’s something free’ng, accompan’ng fundamental open drones
Beyond how I was shaped and regardless how I bowed
All the while I’ll beguile fiddling a lá mode
It’s humankind and whimsical
Defined by frequency
Big Brother knows when I compose
Another song in G
Though limited by volume and harmonic progression
Mistaken gates awaken sakes of temperamental regression
Though limited by voicings and oral tessitura
Enlight’ning rings from untight’ning strings I’ve found my scordatura
It’s redundant and repetitive
Abundant and carefree
Others say to stay away from
‘nother song in G
Words I adore we’ll sing once more
Another song in G
A verse so nice we’ll sing it twice
Another song in G
A verse so nice we’ll sing it thrice
Another song in G
Comes with a price, four will suffice
Another song in G

Behind the scenes or shown on screens,
in tails or in a smock
Divinely dressed but a devilish pest
to whomever you cleverly mock
Eh, What’s up doc?
Your loony routines and mischievous means
in true colors so fluid and runny
However askew, I’m still drawn into hue
My stinka’, My honey,
My dearest Bugs Bunny
Down rabbit holes or on tender strolls
twixt non-binarities
Your Creator conjoints my contrapoints
to your merry melodies
No more hairloss remedies!
No “grab-it” goals or gender roles
or bigoted boffola
Yet you drag me along; what could go wrong?
By kink o’ Crayola
I’ll be your Lola
My stinka’, My honey,
My dearest Bugs Bunny
Your comic strips shoot hops and skips
throughout my fainted-heart
With classical allusions and Rabbit-Duck illusions
Eluding the eyes from the start
You’re a timeless work of art!
From episodic hair snips to periodic hare clips
Always pictured pretty, punny
From: Barbaric Imbicility, To: Barber of Civility,
My stinka’, My honey,
My dearest Bugs Bunny
My stinka’, My honey,
My dearest Bugs Bunny

Romantic Sponsor

Some are in it for the money
Sometimes for stage or the show
But I’m slowly getting ready
To get settled or to go
One, Two!
Some are in it for the gold
Sometimes for a second place
But I’m scouting for a team
With no ranking in our race
Some are in it for the ships?
Sometimes by scholars or for war
But I’m missing the relation
With on and far from shore
Some are in it for donations
Sometimes just for brand on art
But I’m all about the organs
Your eyes, ears, hand ’n’ heart
A romantic sponsor
What would that even be?
An Avant-Guardian Angel
A Patron Saint of Me
A romantic sponsor
Definitely maybe
A total catch-22
Re: I’m Baby
Some are in it for the wealth
Sometimes for treasures and/or riches
But I’m down a couple cents
Because pleasures before pitches
Five, One!
Some are in it for the pizza
Sometimes just for sauce or dough
But I’m for cheesy sentiments
And pairings, quid pro quo
Some are in it for the sugar
Sometimes just a cup to mooch
But I’m on and off to bum a pinch
But always up to smooch
Some are in it for higher power
Sometimes for just in-kind means
But I’m for a higher purpose
At least a motive for my scenes
My romantic sponsor
Who could they even be?
My Avant-Guardian Angel
The Patron Saint of Me
My romantic sponsor
Definitely maybe
A total catch-22
Re: I’m Baby
Our romantic sponsor
Who could they even be?
Our Avant-Guardian Angel
The Patron Saint of We
Our romantic sponsor
Definitely maybe
Sum total: Catch-22
