Look at you now
You're so brand new
With that strapless dress,
and those Versacci shoes
I'm still the same old me
Haggard with my torn Levis
Staring at my breakfast
Thinking up, more lies.
[Chorus]
And if we break down
Oh, do not fear
I'll go get some help,
but it might take a year
Oh, don't look now
Here comes triple A
It's your ex boyfriend Todd
I bet he thinks we threw a rod.
{Bridge}
I don't talk no more
I finally figured out
What are words good for
They were never mine anyways
I think I'll just sit here,
and keep my big mouth shut
Just let me know, was our love
only made to burn your days away?
(Verse 2)
Look at you now
You're so brand new
With your strapless dress, all black,
and those Versacci shoes
I'm still the same old me
Unshaved, and unclean
Staring at my breakfast
Looking haggard, and
oh so lean.
But if we break down
Oh, do not fear
Hey, I'll go get some help,
but it might take me a year
Oh, don't look now
Here comes triple A
It's your ex boyfriend Todd
I think he's here to save the day
Yeah, save the day.
I don't talk no more
I finally figured out
Finally figured out
What are words good for,
Since they were never really mine anyways
I think I'll just sit here,
and keep my big mouth shut
I'll cross my legs,
and pour you some more tea.
Just look at you now
So brand new.

"I don't talk no more

Wow. I know that feeling really well.
Great write. I really enjoyed reading this.
Keep up the good work. -
I liked the song lyrics, very nice and emotional. I have nothing to say really, just very good..and amazing. Awesome job, and keep up the nice work.

Why do I get the feeling that putting a self-imposed muzzle on you would be a fate worse than a Whitehouse luncheon..? Another humdinger filled with the complexities and dexterities of what makes Horus tick... now is that a bomb, or is it time to clap handies...?
Bravo Maestro! -
My speakers arent working so I cant hear the music but I did like the lyrics. Well written. A freind of mine plays guitar and he thought up a really good, sad song but neither of us could think of even begining lyrics..its so much harder than it seems.
Very good -
great
Well, what can I say that hasn't already be said about your poem? I love it! You try to capture what is on your mind, nicely done! -
nice song lyrics. a very powerful message is there if you chose to listen is your choice. but I must say the photo well it doesn't really go with the script, but other than that it was a wonderful piece and the music made it even beter to read. again great job on these lyrics.
-
I tried to stream the music but it kept buffering, so I can only comment on the merit of the lyrics. Very Lou Reed!
-
This is good. I bet it took you a lot of time to write this beautiful work of art.
Keep it up.
Best wishes, Nano -
nice beautiful nice tone and good flow. nice expression.
this poem was absolutely brilliant.
Awesome visuals, you painted a sensational picture in my mind. -
i liked it, i liked the dress/shoes making her brand new, i thought it flowed well, there were a couple of places i felt the rhyming was forced, but all in all i think you did a good job on it, ty for sharing it
-
Awsome

My husband's name is Todd
Loved this. Been broke down more times than anyone could count, and I've thrown a couple of rods too.
Sorry, I'm in a silly mood. Great song.
-
Finally figured out what words are good for - you have what are words good for at the top, bottom is okay. Neat song, good write.
-
A+

The song is great. Sad, but great! The picture displays much pain. I know that feeling for sure. You almost bring me to weep. Take care!

I don't talk no more
I finally figured out
What are words good for
-these have to be my three favorite lines in this.
simply because, i agree.

Great
You should like, record and upload this song. It was a good story in this; not a waste of time at all. Good job, you've got talent
-
I don't think it was that great. Just a bit to sappy for me. But it had a nice flow to it.
Edited on Feb 19, 2:53 because ''. -
this pisses me off...and makes me want to yell, "dork" or something like that. think it has something to do with the shoe brand, i dunno. but i'll listen to it i suppose when you put it up on all your famous sites.
Edited on Feb 19, 1:09 because ''. -
It's so easy to fall into that.....even when you swear you never will again.... As always you are wonderful with flow and rhythm.... and I can almost hear the song in my head. Oh by the way, I listened to some of your mp3's.... very cool
-
Hmmmm yepp yeppp.. liked this sounds quite angsty with a hint of sarcasm too.. which I love.. a little bit of wry/dry humour always goes a longgggg way
Well done Nephew
