This is very impressive. There's an eerie feel to it

Don’t have to be a movie star 
For me to like you as you are 
Don’t have to buy me diamond rings 
I’ll be satisfied with anything 

Shine that spotlight over here 
Lend me all your pretty ears because 
Soon this show will end 

If they say hurry, or take it slow 
It don’t matter cuz you know where to go 
Left down the avenue, right up the street 
Even hot pavement will be cool to your feet 

Don’t have to be a movie star 
For me to like you as you are 
Don’t have to buy me diamond rings 
I’ll be satisfied with anything 

Set lights flash from hidden towers 
Lines that last for hours and hours 
But this time they want you 

A few weeks later, the film is complete 
Now the whole nation wants a box office seat 
Who would have guessed you had the golden touch? 
The greatest sensation since Starsky and Hutch 

Don’t have to be a movie star 
For me to like you as you are 
Don’t have to buy me diamond rings 
I’ll be satisfied with anything 

Send that fan mail to the ghetto 
Sing that alto in falsetto 
Then let me shake your hand 

Roll the red carpet, make sure you’re in view 
A standing ovation is sure to ensue 
Pose for the cameras and wave when you laugh 
Cuz someone might want your autograph 

Don’t have to be a movie star 
For me to like you as you are 
Don’t have to buy me diamond rings 
I’ll be satisfied with anything 

You may need a long vacation 
To mend this weary situation 
And shades to hide your eyes 

There ain’t no ticket to get on this train 
The ride comes free with fortune and fame 
Conductor don’t carry no aces or spades 
He already knows that your dues have been paid

The Egyptian Swing

A work in progress...
Through the fair I wait, to know just what's at stake... and no~one knows what's gone until it's there... and that is just so very unfair. Through the fair I wait.

here's a version with orchestration by freddiehangoler http://soundcloud.com/heidi-harris-1/unfair-with-freddiehangoler

Unfair (song sketch)

From the latest Alonzo Cat Farm album, Get Me To Tomorrow, available here: http://alonzocatfarm.bandcamp.com/album/get-me-to-tomorrow

the last girl 

i'm too bored 
to light my cigarette 
let alone smoke it 
let alone smoke it 

i been starin into space 
i've gone blind 
i've gotten used to it 
i've gotten used to it 

but you can't hide in the wasteland 
you can't hide when the devil's 
at your door 
as the walls close in around me 
i dream of the last girl 

you'll be happy and i'll be sad 
it's a natural fact 
i can't get over it 
i can't get over it 

there's only one thing to do 
when yer near the end 
run to it 
run to it 

she was the one 
that got away 
she was the one i deserved 
but i didn't deserve 
as the empire falls around me 
i dream of the last girl
