Nice melody. if assertive don't need to be aggressive but still better than allowing dirty forks, and disparaging others for complaining is just another way to persuade others to comply and encourage self censorship

Bug Bite

Empty Lamp

This song is about people putting their foot down but it's really because they lack control in their lives. Yes, having a massive go at someone at work in TK Maxx or Asda isn't nice, I get it, as someone who has worked in shops and have been annoyed in shops when shopping myself.  But calling people Karens is misogynistic can't we all just go back to calling them all total dickheads, or ask them if they are ok in a way that makes them realise they are being a total dickhead?

PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN (a sincere composition by a late 30 yr old on garageband) no. 1 )

YES, IT’S TRUE
I AM HERE TO HURT YOU
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I NEVER WILL DESERT YOU

THE DECISION TO BREATHE
HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM YOU
BUT DON’T GO WEAK AT THE KNEES
OR I’LL POUNCE UPON YOUR VIRTUE

YOU CAN CALL ME ALL THE NAMES
UNDER THE SUN
UNDER THE SUN
BUT DON’T CALL ME A LOSER

EXCEPT YOUR FATE
YOUR DESTINY
YOU TOOK THE BAIT
YOU FAILED TO SEE

ALTHOUGH YOU KNEW MY HISTORY
STILL YOU CHOSE TO DISAGREE

ARE YOU FEELING WOOZY

PUT THIS GLASS
TO YOUR LIPS
TAKE ANOTHER SIP

ARE YOU FEELING WOOZY YET

THE SIZE OF MY EGO
DEPENDENT ON YOURS
THE MORE THAT I BREAK YOU
THE MORE THAT IT GROWS

SO KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS
TO YOURSELF
OR YOU’LL END UP
ON THE SHELF
ON THE SHELF

ARE YOU FEELING WOOZY YET

YOU CAN CALL ME ALL THE NAMES
UNDER THE SUN
UNDER THE SUN
JUST DON’T CALL ME A LOSER

FAR TOO CHOOSEY
FEELING WOOZY
BEING ACCUSED OF
BLOWING FUSES

THIS TIME IT’S A WARNING
YOU’LL WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
THIS TIME IT’S A WARNING
DON’T EVER CALL ME A LOSER AGAIN

REMEMBER I’M THE BOSS
DON’T DOUBLE CROSS ME
YOUR REWARD
MY VANITY

DON'T CALL ME A LOSER

Darker Shade Of Pink

I’d planned to fake my own death and buy a small house in Belize 
An inconspicuous hut on the ocean secluded by trees 
I had a life insurance policy and with my death my wife stood to get it 
She was in on my scheme and in a year or so we’d reunite and split it. 

While our friends in North America freeze 
My testicles will sway in the breeze 
And we worked out a plan to spend the rest of our lives in Belize 

We were on a vacation, our annual family cruise 
On a sight seeing trip, we planned our elaborate ruse 
Among a large group of tourists, I could easily give them the slip 
I’d mix in with the locals and I wouldn’t return to the ship 

A cruise is just for mediocrities   
With its Free buffets and amenities 
Extraordinary people spend the rest of their lives in Belize

Our plan was My wife would return to the ship and report me 
As missing and of course they would call the police to escort me 
While back in Belize, I would lay low with the barest essentials 
I’d Pay to falsify a passport and arrange for other legal credentials 

Any law biding person agrees 
This plot had us over our skis 
Perpetrate fraud and spend the rest of our lives in Belize

The tour was informal, there were lots of us and never a tally 
We were touring downtown and we walked passed a dark, narrow alley 
I tapped my wife’s shoulder and headed for the alley unescorted 
But she pulled me back by the arm and back with the group, our plan aborted 

We saved a fortune in lawyers and fees 
And spent no time in penitentiaries 
Who knows maybe someday we’ll make it back to Belize

What I've Learned / What I'm Learning

Lyrics
Hey yeah
I’m falling down
with all you said 
that's gone around
and how I treated you so bad
I never meant to make you sad

I told you before
and I’ll tell you again
that I like you a lot
but we’re better off friends
and it's bringing me down
and making me think 
what I really need now
is a couple of drinks

I don't know 
what to do
All of these feelings 
misconstrued
You're the one who called me up
but I could never fill your cup

I hope
that it goes well
But only space 
and time will tell
Second guessing what I did
And now I have to live with it
