WHO ORDERED A new revolution in DWHDM (Dorky White Hermit Dude Metal) in which the MIDI is made flawlessly interchangeable between instruments through clever transposition and timing? WAS IT YOU? Well all right then! Here you go! Glory be! Now you can listen to the classics such as "That One Song" and "That Other One" on an instrumentation of your choosing, provided that choice exactly matches what is on offer here. Don't worry. You can only make the right choice. All other choices are impossible. This is the Matrix and everything was predetermined, including you becoming my computer slave. Get me a chicken burrito and a large Coke with no ice! And less attitude this time!

Everybody’s doing the best that they can
trying to find ways to help each other and
not tread on each others fingers and toes.
What someone else is going through no one knows.
It’s no bother - look after each other.

It pays to be cautious and take some time.
It’s quite important not to undermine
efforts of others trying to please.
Unchecked selfishness is like a disease.
It’s easy to hurt - it’s easy to be hurt too.

We don’t seem to notice much now
but we’ll notice it when it’s gone.
The best we can do is somehow
try to write it down in a song
so everyone can sing along
and we can hear you.

We don’t seem to notice much now
but we’ll notice it when it’s gone.
It’s always best not to leave things too late.
Memories are great as long as they last
but they won’t last forever.

There are so many things we don’t understand.
We are just simple folks who play in a band.
We have no message telling you what to do
except look after yourself and others too.
It’s should be no bother to look after each other.
Look after yourselves - look after each other.
Make sure you bother to bother to take care of each other.

"Pretty Polly's Revenge" - based on the murder ballad "Pretty Polly" 

Pretty Polly is a classic folk ballad about a lady who falls for the wrong man and gets murdered. Emily's backstory in Corpse Bride ("Remains of the Day") is most likely based on this ballad.*

I've always been intrigued by folklore where a ghostly woman in a white dress appears ominously. I combined the stories to write this narrative/song where the ghost in white is Polly, seeking revenge on the man who betrayed her. 

LYRICS:
The open sky
One night in June
Just you and I
Beneath the moon

You’ll never know
What you don’t see
What I can I show
Who will I be

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was hard and reckless
Too inclined to mean me harm

And I met you there at midnight
Holding everything I owned
While the moon was burning bright
And I was shining like that stone

We made a pact
You gave your vow
Some perfect act
Just take a bow

My eyes were full of hope
And yours were full of sin
But I didn’t see the rope
And I can’t recall the end

I was standing in the starlight
Holding everything I owned
The moon was burning bright
And I was shining like that stone

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart is like an abscess
Too inclined to mean me harm

You’ll remember dear
Every tale you told
When all the world was green

But you carried me
Through the field of gold
That shimmered like a dream

It is quiet here
Where the earth is cold
No one could hear me scream

And you buried me
With the hate you hold
Where all the world is green

The open sky
This night in June
You have returned
Beneath the moon

What I can I show
Who do you see
And will you know
That it is me

I was waiting in my white dress
When you held me in your arms
But your heart was hard and reckless
Too inclined to mean me harm

I am buried in this grey gown
I will wait for all of time
Till the wickedness you found
Will call you back and make you mine

What I can I know
Who will I be
You down below
Me finally free

The open sky
One night end June
Just you and I
Beneath the moon...


OTHER NOTES:
This song is based on "Pretty Polly," a murder ballad style folk song. This is kind of a sequel where Polly seeks her revenge.

The "all the world is green line" is reference to the tom waits song "all the world is green" where the singer begs their lover to remember the good old days.  The face forgives the mirror, but Polly forgives nothing. 

*The rest of corpse bride is based on a folktale called "The Finger" and in that story The Bride has a totally different backstory unrelated to Pretty Polly.

Ghost in White

Left Right Left

Verse]
I'm dirty and smelly poor as can be
My future ain't shiny like chrome
At best I'm a big disappointment 
But I don't see the need to atone 
The women don't crave my attention 
The whiskey won't leave me alone 
I'm twelve steps away 
From a clean sober life
And too far away from my home

[Verse]
There's something 
Just this side of nothin'
I can't talk to god on the phone
If  I only could see 
What I'm doin' to me
I'd give up this livin' alone 

[Verse]
 I can just see the size of the problem
But it's too far away
I've narrowed it down
To this side of town 
But I'm not sure what it's all about 
I've found out my life is a mountain 
That's too steep to climb on my own 
I'll have to come back here tomorrow 
It's something I need to postpone

I'll Come Back Tomorrow
