Riley Vs. Nigel

Second Dose One Drop

Written on the road while in Kansas City.  I messed around with this one to make it sound (hopefully) like an old time sports announcer the first time and an evangelical preacher for the second...  Didn't really mess with volumes any more than to make it sound good on my earbuds...  I really like the chorus, Who dat? you dat. All dat. No Dat :(  And the line about 2nd place in a competition being me was cool too.

Elevation Sickness

Cheese Island

(Week 47)

Lyrics:
you're let down by your self again, there's no one else to blame
even you can see that's just the truth
but you're not ready

you fill time so you can escape the feeling that it's gone
every day and night wanting just a bit more
but you're not ready

you're makin' time to serve only you
the goal of life to do what you choose

you at least tried but it's not your fault sometimes it goes that way
set your clock for another brand new day
but you're not ready

you're makin' time to serve only you
the goal of life to do what you choose

you're let down by your self again, there's no one else to blame
even you can see that's just the truth
but you're not ready

you're makin' time to serve only you
the goal of life to do what you choose

but you're not ready

You're Not Ready

Verse 1

Chuck taylors tap on the pavement
a  boy walks the girl  home from a little arcade the arcade
His arm rests on her shoulder,
street lights shine on the dark promenade 
He spill his guts at her front door, 
He leaves em lying, exposed and out on the floor

Chorus

If you
Want me to leave that’s alright ill just,
head on out into the night, but if you,
want me to stay, Ive got the time
Ive got the timeI

Verse 2

They get a little apartment
Moneys tight and the bills keep piling up
The arguings constant
the pressure is persistent, every day they’re both feeling stuck
He comes home to her bags packed
Boy starts to speak, but girl she interrupts

Chorus

If you
Want me to leave that’s alright ill just,
head on out into the night, but if you,
want me to stay, Ive got the time
Ive got the time..IVE GOT THE TIME

Verse 3

Wrinkles run round their faces
15 years of marriage when the doctor called with the bad news
she’s got a couple of months left
they’re living in the hospice and shes tied up to feed lines and tubes
she tells him he should move on now he 
boy looks at her and says girl im gonna tell you the truth

Chorus
Before he gives his reply
He looks at her deep in her eyes and he
He brushes here hair to the side

Silently he starts to cry
I was never that good but I tried, but if, 
you’ve got the time, Ive got the time
…IVE GOT THE TIME
