Moderators Lee Knight Posted March 27, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2008 That's great. If your handle is referring to Costello, I see why. This is very Costello inspired, but not in any derivative way. I like the absurd image mixed with your angst and disdain. Very cool. Do you know...

Members myredshoes Posted March 27, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 "...you say I got no feelings, this is a good way to kill them." ~Elvis I try not to be derivative but have so much love for Elvis and Liz Phair too. To me, these two are just killer lyricists and tremendous artists. I wrote this piece this morning, singing it as I went so as not to get lost. I think everyone is familiar with the archetypical woman or man who thinks all members of the opposite sex are losers, treats them as such, then complains that they always end up with a loser. Most of us have met multiple people who exhibit this perspective. My best oldest friend totally does not trust women, thinks they are only after money, a free ride, etc. He is often quite lonely and bitter. If he does meet someone nice, he "naturally" does not trust them and is watching them like a hawk, predicting and waiting for them to {censored} up. They always do. I would not wish this on anyone.

Moderators Lee Knight Posted March 27, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 27, 2008 And I got that from the lyrics too. That's always nice. I like the silly image. Using the word bozo is so... uncool. Therefore, it is cool. You're cool. Yeah, Liz Phair. She wants to have my child. I love brilliant women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wants me to feed and walk the dogs while she's out of town. and feed the guinea pigs. and clean the fish tank. Of course I agree to do this...
