I like the dark, driving feel to this one. The humming adds a nice touch, too.

I'm digging the "middle ages" feel to the melody on this one :)

Ambitious to weave that word into your chorus. Loving the sound on the guitar, lovely deeptone. 

Really well done getting the week's prompt into the chorus. And an ominous sound to the song, reflecting the lyrics well.

So clever! I love the pause before the inevitable ...... antidisestablishmentarianism. It just emphasises the ridiculous word!

Major props for using this prompt, and truly working it into something memorable. Great dig into history!

Week 46 Prompt: Antidisestablishmentarianism

if you're on the court of henry the viii
be sure to watch your back
he's got something cooking up his sleeve
and he's on the warpath

so if you go dissenting
you'll surely be accused of
antidisestablishmentarianism

he says his wife has given him his
bad temperament
wants a divorce but the pope won't budge
so he turns to parliament

but if you go dissenting
you'll surely be accused of
antidisestablishmentarianism

sure as i am breathing
i really couldn't care
what he does with his life
but if i cross him
if i dare
my head will meet his knife

so when you see ol' hank the 8th
storming down your way
step aside to let him through
and get on with your day

just know if you go dissenting 
you'll surely be accused of
antidisestablishmentarianism

antidisestablishmentarianism

Beward Ol' Hank The 8th
