~A re-tasking of another tune I'd otherwise have to retire.~

I’ll think of those days all my life
How in the dark you whispered all the sweetest lies…
You swore  your oaths and sent your doves 
With poison on their breath and made me
Watch them die…
And I wonder why?

(Chorus)
And I'll think of you in these frozen nights while
I warm my soul over this fire
That you kindled with your bullshit 
When you fled. 
And I’ll wonder but I’ll wonder alone
How many demons hid under your duvet
When you shared my bed … 

You thought I’d never hear the trash
You talked about me when you dumped it on your friends… 
The odor wafted my direction 
While we were together only
Now and then… 
Up until the end………. 

(Chorus)

Refrain-
And you swore to me you’d stand beside me 'til we were old
and that if chance brought our love to sour you would stay my friend.
And I believed you’d let me know had your heart gone cold…
But you carried your complaints elsewhere and
played pretend…

And I'll rue  those days all my life
How in the dark you told me all the meanest lies…

You'll have to forgive me for the roughness of this track. I JUST finished hammering out the basics on it and it'll probably be tweaked a bit, but I wanted to put something up 'cause it's been a while. :)

Thanks to Joshua Rotella for the image (hope you don't mind hon 'cause of course I didn't bother to ask first. :P ;) He's pretty laid back tho. ;) )

Also, here's some lyrics, since I'm not sure how well they come through on the track. ;)

This is my home
This is my city
This is the land where I come from
However unpretty…
This place is where
My people are
My wanderlust may steal me thus
Not long nor far…

Chorus-
And I may disparage the politics
And complain about its landlockedness
I know the roads are rough and the sky is bland
But I can fly knowing that I'll come back to your arms when I land
This is my home.

When I was young all I wanted was to get gone
Someplace along the shore somewhere, I'd get along.
Every soul I knew was stuck in some fucked up
Religiousity
The spirit of this place just lost its charm for me…

-Chorus-

The grass is greener where you're not from…
But it feels browner here in all the fields with too much sun
But I'll take you to the IMA and gondolas on the canal
We can get outta here but we both know 
We'll find our way right back somehow

It's home…
Country sunsets and golden fields this place is home
And you know exactly how to make it feel like home.

The Kangaroo Song

Originally written for the Iron Filker contest at Ohio Valley Filk Fest. Heavily modified since its first performance. ;)

Rasputin's Lament

Because I don't think he even knows it exists, and he probably won't even realize it's about him (at least until That One Line in the bridge near the end. You'll know it when you hear it, love. ;) )

(Apologies for the roughness. I've only played this one all the way thru a few times.  ....'cause it kinda makes me cry. ;) )

An Unexpected Love Song

Theodore's Birthday

Words! Best when you sing along. ;)

Everything is made of bubble wrap
I've been drinking vodka with my cat (she's not drinking, just me.)
I can play the ukulele good...
But I'm not sure if that means that I shooooooould! 


Should I write the musics when I drink
When my brain is fast asleep and I can think?
Should I play a song for all my friends?
And sing us out while everything else ends?

Welcome the heat death of the universe
Take a shot and write another verse
This may be as bad as it can get....
And I don't think I've had quite enough yet.

Y2K was 18 years ago...
When did we let our sense of purpose go?
Will we ever stop hurting and help mend?
Can we make our enemy a friend? 

Fuuuuuuuuuuck THAT. I'm gonna let the whole world burn.
I've been shit on, now it can take a turn.
Where's your doctor now, where can he be?
No one paid for his medical degree.

So drink until it's all tolerable...
Who can judge you when your cup is full?
Have some gingerale so you don't hurl...
Sit next to me for the end of the world.

Bubble Wrap - An Apocalyptic Drinking Song (feat. Crys's inebriated ukulele)

Traditional tune, original arrangement.

Actually primarily putting this up for constructive criticism. Eventually the flute/clarinet line will be replaced with voice and guitar added.
