david and i rented music & lyrics the other night...we weren't very impressed. it was very flat. we thought the best part was the spoof 80s music video in the beginning. from there it went downhill--the story never really picked up, and never made you really care about the characters enough to understand their idiosyncrasies, or how and why there was a "love" story in the end.
anyway, i thought it'd be fun to post some of my own lyrics. once upon a time i was artistic and poetic, and a friend from high school asked me to write some lyrics for his band. i dutifully handed them off to him. last i heard, he was studying guitar at university of the arts in pa, and was trying out as a guitarist in jewel's band. so if these lyrics ever get somewhere else, remember where you heard them first! imagine this being sung by one of those indie rock voices--
"she's once more"
she's waitin for you to come round once again
walkin through the triangle with the trapeze man
crossin the tightrope wearin the wind in her seaweed tresses
swingin low and followin that chariot
to carry her home
and catch her sins
as she lies beneath the fallen elephant slums
standin on the edge again
no more lies in no more cans
wearin the ring and fakin the smile
and she's once more
once more
and will you trace your nude harmony once more
play me in your littered chords once more
with or without
deliberate intentions
bearded or blushed inspections
braided or removed impressions once more
ruby red and white stops signs
in the kaleidescope of circus colors no more
in this white suburbia
and she's once more
standin on the edge again
no more lies in no more cans
wearin the ring and fakin the smile
and she's once more
yeah, and she's once more
