Ok, lets go for this competition. Its totally awesome, even if it HAS taken up all the spare time that Im SUPPOSED to be putting in to editing my documentary!!! @meno and @luzcypher have put this crazy awesome project together to encourage more original songwriting and theres a GUITAR as a prize (courtesy of @meno) SO GET INVOLVED!!!!
heres my entry (this weeks theme was 'BROKEN MIRROR') apologies in advance for the hissy sound in the background and the fact that I Really struggled to get this song fluent....especially with its stupid key changes.....
Lyrics:
Whoops I dropped that priceless mirror
Its fallen on the ground
Its 3:00 in the morning
And that was really loud
I hope that no-ones woken up
Because that would really suck
But when you break a mirror
MAN its 7 years bad luck
It smashed across the hallway
Its broken beyond beyond REPAIR (yeah I know, I said 'compare', I got it wrong....)
Im such a clumsy idiot
This isn't bloody fair
I hear footsteps coming
I think the game is up
When you smash a mirror
MAN its 7 years bad luck
I have heard tell that this thing was worth 100 grand
it as going so well until the bloody thing slipped out of my hand
To come here and steal it and sell it was my cunning plan
And now caught red-handed Im stranded like fish on the sand
Well he came around the corner
'Who's there' I think he said
I was busy grabbing a shard of broken glass
So I could jam it in his leg
But he hit me with a baseball bat
I didn't think to duck
When you break a mirror
MAN its 7 years bad luck
Theres no mirror in my prison cell
But theres plenty of reflection
On how different decisions might have changed my lifes direction
I wouldn't have been sentenced to 7 years bad luck
But Id have sold that God damned mirror for 100,000 bucks
I could've been free
But instead Im stuck
When you break a mirror
MAN Its 7 years bad luck
When you break a mirror
MAN its 7 years bad luck
Thanks for listening everybody!
But Im going to be honest.... it was NOT easy to quickly bang out a song in so little time....
It might be difficult to maintain any consistency in this competition....
So much Love you crazy steemfreeks
Be good to each other :)
