Members popthree Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 i wrote these words on Sunday, then recorded the little thing on Monday in a very impromptu manner..no structural planning, etc.. i was very surprised when i hit stop on the recorder and discovered I'd been at it for 7 minutes. an hour before writing, I had been thumbing through a pile of Lou Reed lyrics.. the evening before, I'd begun reading Crime & Punishment.. i suppose this was my response to all of that which I'd recently consumed. this recording is very much the birth of the song http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/song_2573850 You have a very funny faceSuch a very funny faceMy sides are splitting from the painEnough to drive a man insane You have a very funny faceLined with a grief a soul can traceGrief so deep and awe inspiredFear wound tight the bomb is wiredGreat crooked nose, gift of painFlowing, dragging bridal trainBruised lips pursing tightly closedDam holds back your stains of proseYou have a very funny face You have a very funny faceSuch a very funny faceMy sides are splitting from the painEnough to drive a man insaneYou have a very funny face You have a very funny faceA sunken grief, it fills this placeTainted by your minds contemptBlessed suicide attemptYou have a very funny face You have a very funny faceThe lines a grievous fool will raceSinister thought lurks despairConcrete eyes lock hazy stareChalky toothy smile beheldA stirring gift the torches weldYou have a very, such a very, funny face Sloping head and dropped chinHorror once contained withinPouring now an awful rageThe beast is freed an open cageRage that holds the dogs at bayTrembling now the mighty swayThink of all the war we wageJust think of all the war we wage You have a very funny face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mpeddle Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 There are some good lines in there, but I think the tagline "You have a very funny face" is a bit weak. I'd like a slightly less sparse arrangement too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
