about

This song is truly a piece of nonsense. It was one of my earlier songs and it wasn't meant to be anything except an experiment. I was reading a lot of ee cummings back then and I wanted to try a song that was along those lines. So, technically, this was my first avant-garde tune, though I was just trying to mesh words together that don't belong together. I recorded it in one take on a two track recorder with me on lead vocal and guitar and my dad on bass. The lyrics sound like I may be cursing, but I assure you I wasn't, at least not on this silly tune. I just overdubbed the rest of the instruments in our studio in Oct. 2014. I didn't feel this song was worthy enough to rerecord for any purpose. Besides, it's another song where I had my dad play bass, so it's worth preserving, to me, for that reason only.

This is song #23.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I SENT AFTER OUT YOU.
I WENT SEEN HER DOCTOR.
MY KNOWN FLEW KNOWN CLUE
IS WAITING FOR A SOCCER.

SHE'S ALONE BY ISN'T BALLOON.
SHOES MY DENTIST HAD.
MY DAY'S HAPPENIN' SOON,
FLOCKING MY PIZZAZZ.

DUMB INCREDIBLY SEEN,
AFTER TREE SICK BEAN.
BUT HAVE THEY THOUGHT
A POTATO UPON BROUGHT NOW,

TELEVISION GOLDEN BED,
EATING DOGS, SAILING, DRINKING.
NAME MY PENNY. SHE'S MY HEAD.
FINDING NORTH GRASS SINKING.

DRINKING, DRIVING, ALONG SAYS FLYING.
SKIES NOT SO BLUE.
WAITING FOR DYING.
LYRICS HIDING IN YOU, AH.

THIS IS ALL THERE IS.
NO MORE LYRICS LEFT.
MY COUNTRY IS A 'TIS
BECAUSE I'M INTO THEFT, BYE-BYE!

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
