written and first recorded for FAWM 2016
Scattered cups and coffee mugs
Lyrics papers picks and cables
Headphones tied to my chair legs
My chair’s tied to the table
God damn chair arm’s in the way
And I forgot my password anyway
One week down
Without a song
Inspiration just won’t come.
Stu’s studio looks beautiful
Jon’s place is just a mess
I relate more to the latter
I must confess.
Week two was like a tornado
Used everything but my banjo
I tell a lie
I used the banjo
Well just parts of it
My housemate Mosno beat the Hell out of it cause we thought it sounded pretty cool.
The chair arm is still in the way
But I changed my password just today
Two weeks down
And it’s half done
Inspiration’s coming strong.
Eero’s got a point on mastery
But write above your paygrade or just go home
Dave’s got a point on mastering
But Scarjo’s gorgeous
From the get-go
Week three has just begun
I’m halfway there but still under the gun
My guitar is on the bed and my five-string’s on the table
My DAW is loaded up and all my PC is rollin’ stable
My password seems to be holding strong
But my browser has saved it wrong
Day 17 of my first FAWM
And I’m writing a FAWM song about the FAWM
FAWM FAWM FAWM FAWM FAWM
Maybe if I just hum along
These chords’ll be a song.
FAWM FAWM FAWM FAWM FAWM
Reggiestytye and driftwood too
I’m so grateful that I met you
Mosno Joe and Midway Fair
You can say “I told you”
Week four will have some more
My lair will be a mess
My girlfriend will be glad
When I put all this to rest
My password is still holding strong
It was cause I spelled my screen name wrong
I just finished song eleven
But already eager for FAWM
2 oh one seven.
FAWM FAWM FAWM FAWM FAWM
Maybe if I just hum along
These song’ll be as strong
As all those others I heard on FAWM.
