A Squeaky Wheel

He walks into the bar, where serves the girl I love
And after my second glass, I swear she'll marry me
Wow! She's so beautiful, you'd better make it three,
But not before you give me your name, and my life meaning

Anyway, back to the merry man, who's doling out his acumen
To three girls in a corner. They giggle over spilling wine
As they murder time and listen to his spiel.
Careful, fancy that, a caveat: he's an a-hole, a jerk, a squeaky wheel

He walks into his home, where he feels so alone
Two kids and a mortgage, he treats them both interest free
Claims to love his wife, claims to hate his life
It's not so unusual for an a-hole, a jerk, a squeaky wheel

As you look up in the sky, as you walk up on high
You'll find the heavens staring back at you
The balance is in the stars, and the love that's in your heart
Will come back to you double, if you let it fly


Lyrics

Wow! She's so beautiful, you'd better make it three,

Anyway, back to the merry man, who's doling out his acumen
To three girls in a corner. They giggle over spilling wine
As they murder time and listen to his spiel.
Careful, fancy that, a caveat: he's an a-hole, a jerk, a squeaky wheel

He walks into his home, where he feels so alone
Two kids and a mortgage, he treats them both interest free
Claims to love his wife, claims to hate his life
It's not so unusual for an a-hole, a jerk, a squeaky wheel

As you look up in the sky, as you walk up on high
You'll find the heavens staring back at you
The balance is in the stars, and the love that's in your heart
Will come back to you double, if you let it fly

A Squeaky Wheel

Never Been Any Reason is the debut single by Head East from their debut album Flat as a Pancake. Released in 1975. I couldn't do the vocals justice so this is an instrumental.

Never Been Any Reason

Country Fried Drill/Trap Beat

111bpm Key of C

Virginya Slimz (Bluegrass Drill Beat)

Rollin' Over

Ethereal Fantasy

Now I wish it was time
to just fade away
In this capsule of mine
it's like those rainy days

I just want to get out of here
To find a purpose, new atmospheres

So I think I’ve composed this song to survive
And I'll play it just for myself and the void

It's too bad I'm designed to survive the other side

On the day I arrived
There were fears to face
and there was hope to find
but now it’s all erased

I’m just going in circles here
No propulsion, no stratosphere

So I think I’ve composed this song to survive
And I'll play it just for myself and the void

It's too bad I'm designed to survive the other side

In this place of vanished lives
A consequence of all those lies
What was eternal is now deprived

So I think I’ve composed this song to survive
And I'll play it just for myself and the void

It's too bad I'm designed to survive the other side

The Lonely Satellite

A Good Fool Is Hard To Find

This is a funky declaration of music according to me.
