jack on guitar! kara on vox and lyrics! me on the bottle of lactaid used as a shaker!
Thursday night at the Crafted Cup
My guitar and a no idea what to play
Maybe this time it wont just be me singing
The blues
Smells of ginger, cinnamon
Make it christmas all year round
I grab my usual and sit
The music slows it down
Leather seats same people here
They tell me whats been going on
With them, I look across the room
Theres someone there, a brand new song
Napkin and pen
Write you a song because
I have no words to tell you
Id really like to get to know you
So I didnt know you were going before me
But youre really good, brought some of that
Joni sweetness, sing your song
Wont you come take me along
I still got nothing to play for you
Just these napkin words from our game for two
But what Ive got is better than nothing
Ill make your day worth a little something
One, two, three, and four
Couldnt speak to you, eyes to the floor
But now you see that Im really into you
Id really like to get to know ya
Performances over, I linger a bit
And you walk right over, I can see in your eyes that you liked it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I invite you for drinks, you laugh and say yes
Said you really thought it was sweet that I could sing like that
What a pity you really didnt like it, yeah its fine
One of these days I am going to make cookies
you dont need to talk no more cuz ive got things to say
you already had your chance you threw it all away
other lyrics but no time LOL BYE!!!!!!!!
Not feeling up for regular compoing so I thought I would do something super weird. This was.interesting.
- A metronome ticks throughout the entirety of this song.
- The song is 34 bars long.
- There are tempo changes.
I made this with a Yamaha TG100, early 90s General MIDI synth module.

Cookies can be sparkly, right? Batch with extra drum bits for TheVideoGamer.

So there's a place by the bay, makes a solid panini
Makin' love to the world, like Roberto Benigni
We could go there on your break, before all of the tweeny
polka-dot hot shots go and ruin the scene
[chorus]
It's like you're always on my mind, always on my mind
It's like you're always on my mind, always on my mind
It's like you're on it all the time, on it all the time
It's like you're on it all the time, on it all the time
[verse]
Some folks float to the top, like a dollop of cream
I've watched you struggle like a mother since you were sixteen
It's insane, your brain is like a game of Jeopardy
Your Daily Double's got you down, you just wanna succeed
[bridge]
You're like the beanie baby everybody wants,
but nobody has (you're precious)
You're like a first-season sitcom no one picked up,
but I wish they had (cuz I would write that script)
[verse]
We could try something new, or just a stupid sequel
Used to think people were good. Now I think they're just people
If you think that you are trash, then I guess I'm a seagull
Hover close beside you, all other things being equal
pronounced kooquie
It's not very long, but I had a lot of fun making this! Enjoy!
I deliberately rendered it in the worst quality possible and deleted my project
Yum yum yum, I mean the cookies.
Too many cookies and you'll get fat. But who can resist those delicious cookies!
Oh how such a simple theme, can end up being the bane of my existence.
Get something out of it, is all i can say.
