I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
I wrote this on my vacation. While editing it right now I smoothened the meter a bit (see my notes in square brackets):
a blind man describing colors to the deaf
the moron talks about philosophy
the living full of envy for the dead
the fish are roosting in the canopy [was: the fish are meditating in the canopy - roosting is MUCH better!]
the gen'ral claims that he's pursuing peace
declaring war against all foreigners
vegans decide that they will eat more meat [was: the vegans decide that they'll eat meat ]
a mouse states it will make no prisoners [was: the mice state that they'll stop making prisoners]
I hit my head against the wall
I plug my ears so I can't hear them all
I sign my will with my own blood
I won't give in until I make them stop
the pope talks 'bout abortion from experience [was: ... about ...]
bankers try saving the economy [was: the bankers ...]
the priests are promising deliverance
the frog claims kissing maids is sodomy [was: the frog says that kissing maids is sodomy]
I hit my head against the wall
I plug my ears so I can't hear them all
...
BRIDGE [to do]
CHORUS
Good night!
