THE LYRICIST’S LAMENT

Music by Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

I was asked to write a song
I said “Easy,” it’s “easy peasy”
Just find a word at the end of the line
Then you gotta make it rhyme
With love and stars above
It won’t take you very long

But I found out that I was wrong
Wasn’t thinking, had I been drinking?
Words don’t fall like rain from the sky
But a lot of little jewels
Like tiny molecules
Could grow up to be a song

Try to sing it using verbal dexterity
You can wing it schmoozing perfect sincerity
You could be climbing a stairway to heaven
Once you’re up it you’ll be stuck like a puppet on a string

So we’re coming to the end the conclusion
No illusion,
This little story’s hit the end of the road
And it’s just a bunch of sounds
To please the ear
So nice to hear
And you got another job
Done and dusted

You are too many memories But we stick together We spin in your streets Where our hearts got broken But we stick together Forever yeah
I want to feel sunlight on my face Slip into a daze
I want to feel your burning touch I’ve missed you so much
Remember the tree where we had our first kiss But we stick together
Forever
I want to feel sunlight on my face Slip into a daze
I want to feel your burning touch I’ve missed you so much
We’ll never be alone We’ll never be alone We’ll never be alone We’ll never be alone

Blow Out
Blow Out, Blow Out, Blow Out,
You know what time is, blow out,
When you hear the bells ring,
blowout,
I don’t need nobody’s help,
I just crawled back from hell
I make the crowd go loco,
Scream like the voices up in my head,
Blow up, show out,
I put the city on time out,
Come and see, just what the talk about,
Walk on the court, if I step in it’s my house,
I’m ready to go when it’s game time,
They ready to fold, at the same time,
Ran thru the field with the land mines,
You think I’m scared to go take mines
Know what it takes, for standing ovation,
never lose patience, I gotta chase it,
All in my bag, yeah that’s the basics,
they gotta frown, they need a facelift,
You know what time is, blow out,
When you hear the bells ring, blow out,
When you see the touchdown, blow out,
When you see the dogs out, blow out,
Blow out, blowout, blow out, blow out, etc.
Ain’t no pity anymore,
Give me the ball ima double the score,
Give the city what they want,
Me and the squad we still one of one,
Been climbing, on incline,
Ima a bit dirty, but I still shine,
They broke down,
For the tenth time, but I ain’t got mercy, on this side,
Thank god, for the long ride, for the hard time, brought the dog out,
South side to the north side,
Nation wide, they get blown out,
When we out it’s a dark time, quite a hard time, for the other side, stand down when we going up, blow out
You know what time is, blow out,
When you hear the bells ring,
blow out,
When you see the touchdown, blowout,
When you see the dogs out, blow out,
Blow out, blow out, blow out, etc.
