Lyrically Speaking - 1/6/21
Posted: Wed Jan 06, 2021 7:41 am
Hello, it's Ody. Do you remember me? I don't get to post much anymore since dragging LB away from the computer is next to impossible. I had to use my claws to slice an artery to get this screen time I have now. So while LB's busy applying a tourniquet to his ankle, I'm going to post this LSWE game I wrote for you all. It's got a theme to it that most of you can probably relate to. Be sure to take this time to send me some scritches and love since I doubt I'll be allowed out of the new jail LB bought for me for a few years after this stunt. Purrrrrrrr.....
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist, 3 points for the theme...
1. I used to be such a
Sweet, sweet thing
Til they got a hold of me
I opened doors for little old ladies
I helped the blind to see
2. Then the first snow came
And she ran out
To brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
3. He let go a laugh, let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
4. I call you on the telephone
My voice too rough with cigarettes
I sometimes feel I should just go home
But I'm dealing with a memory
That never forgets
5. Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care
Cause it's all right
6. Cause they told me when I was younger
Saying, boy, you're gonna be President
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
Just kinda came and went
7. Just finish cleaning up your room
Let's see that dust fly with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night
8. Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me, only for me
9. You should take it as a compliment
That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk
You should think about the consequence
Of your magnetic field being a little too strong
10. Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines of your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
11. The girls are all jocking
At the other end of the bar
Having drinks with some no-name chump
When they know that I`m the star
12. Or you can tell your friends
Just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke
About me on the phone
