lyrics

Words

It came with two whammy bars
Neither of which as it turned out fit the guitar
But I was already in the car..driving home
When I plugged it in, yeah man you should have seen me grin
I cranked it up to ten, on my own

Will this save me from myself
Or is it really any help, I don't know
It's just a feeling, that I don't wanna shelf
I got stories that I wanna tell
If you'll listen to me

Yeah old habits die hard
Too long hanging around this backyard
Thinking I'm some kind of Baird while doing laundry
Let's make a record again, yeah no-one's gonna buy that thing
But all I wanna do is sing, is that so wrong?

Will this save me from myself
Or is it really any help, I don't know
It's just a feeling, that I don't wanna shelf
I got stories that I wanna tell
If you'll listen to me

And at the talent contest, you know I didn't fair out the best
I blew out their public address, nobody like my song
named industry professionals, didn't like my loosely crafted confessionals
Yeah man they said that I was delusional
Nobody sang along

Will this save me from myself
Or is it really any help, I don't know
It's just a feeling, that I don't wanna shelf
Got nothing that I wanna sell
yeah just listen to me

from THIS IS / CARPARK SCI​-​FI EP, released June 2, 2023
Recently made video features the track in the background. Unrelated but in a way it is. It is a transition in my live set of music, a Segway between two songs. It sort of leads into the song 2 Whammy Bars. Anyway it's a bit of fun. It is a recollection of a cab ride I had in London and a story the cabbie told me. I also sometimes wonder if music videos could be other things..like does it have to directly match the music audio etc.. anyway. Enjoy.
