so i’m farther behind than my cohort here…

i’ve got 4 finished songs, one half of one song (#4) and abuot 5 songs with just lyrics…. and one song i’m writing right now about tax parties.. that is… a suburban event where friends get together and "party" whilst helping eachother with taxes….

1. cold war months

2. job/divorce

3. confuse the two

4. little boy/fat man

5. in the 20’s

 

they all have something to do with Atomic Bombs and/or economoic depression.

 

i guess though, considering this comes out to 1.4 songs per day, that all those lyrics count as all the .4’s, so i’m not THAT far behind.

the trick is to write a song as if you’re trying to entertain someone right on the spot, improvising it and not feeling responsible for the quality.   hopefully i can actually manifest this mentality and help myself accomplish this goal.  i gotta be honest… with everything happening this month (primarily the PUSH concert on feb 27th www.myspace.com/niavepush), i don’t think i’m gonna make it.

 

 

today’s lyric is from job/divorce  (this isn’t a reference to an actual divorce in my life or in the lives of anyone around me)

 

"time to punch the clock when you’d rather shoot a shot

get to work, you’re lucky, cause the gov’t owns the lots

and the woman is a hag

but you got keys in your bag

so be gay

don’t worry

just arrive on time

same time everyday"
