A song we had to write inspired by the short story 'Popular Mechanics' by Raymond Carver. I'm not a singer but I thought I would have a go at it.

LYRICS:
(Verse)
Well she needs a blank canvas, she needs some new art,
Coz the one she made him, now he’s torn apart,
Well she knew it would be over, it was destined from the start,
Daddy always told her that that man was gonna break her heart,
So she picks herself up, wipes a tear out her eye,
She was ready for this it was never a surprise,
Now she’s gotta keep moving on, moving on

(Chorus)
And I know, she wouldn’t leave me alone,
And I know he  would just say maybe,
If he could just remember her sweet words,
But all she says now is you’re hurting the baby

(Verse)
Now he’s packing up his suitcase, he’s gotta leave home,
He should taken the messages off of his phone,
But he never thought to, coz he’s stupid like that,
Now he feels like a piñata, she’s got the bat,
Still he picks himself up, wipes a tear out his eye,
With the way he’s always been, it was never a surprise,
And now he’s gotta keep moving on, moving on,

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
(triplets) You can go separate ways but I’m stuck in between,
This isn’t a life, I’m not living a dream 
I’m just stuck in nightmare, this picture’s obscene,
They can’t make it work because neither are keen,
So they push and pull, push and pull, 
But they’re never ever getting anywhere at all,
Coz I may be young and I may be small,
But I’m both their possession their trying to call  
But finally, they seem to come to an agreement,
They both have me, which they see an achievement,
It’s not like I’m here still moving and breathing,
But you can’t have everything, at least they’re now even,
They broke that love, split that trust,
Shattered the feelings of each other to dust,
Mangled the bond, mutilated the care,
Coz some things in life you just aren’t meant to share  

(Chorus)

A novelty story about my friend who took a pregnancy test as a joke, and it backfired coming back positive and resulted in him taking a testicular cancer test with an inappropriate nurse. Luckily he was clear.

Enjoy.

Lyrics - 
I woke up one day 
My troubles... they'd gone away 
Or so I'd thought 
Cause that was when I bought 

The pregnancy test 
From one of those kits 
And god knows I was only takin the piss
And that was when it backfired 
But that's the way I'm wired

The pregnancy test 
Oooo the pregnancy test 
The pregnancy test 
Ooo the pregnancy test

So I went to doctors to take the test 
The testicular test
And I ain't lying about,
The way it felt it when she got my genitalia out

She said no worries about the shame,
If your a couples inches short, it's just your parents to blame, 
But I, ain't worried at all
She said she liked the balls

The pregnancy test
Ooo the pregnancy test 
The pregnancy test 
Ooo the pregnancy test 

Then she gave me a cup and a nuts magazine,
Look at page number 7 that'll get you keen,
But the pages were stuck together

I said whereabouts do I go,
She said out the room right and down the hall,
Now I'm whistling a nervous tune,
With my magazine going through the waiting room

The pregnancy test
Ooo the pregnancy test
The pregnancy test
Ooo the pregnancy

And now I come back with my cup,
She are you quite done, I said I'm all filled up,
She said I know it's been kinda rough,
But it's nearly done now I just need you to cough

Cough cough cough,
And that was that,
I can't have a baby and that's a fact,
And now all has been revealed,
Time to end the story now because it's getting weird
