Song A Day # 314: Mr. Barry Screwskull, Number Six Hundred and Twelve

This is for song fu: http://bit.ly/songfu
my name is mr. barry screwskull
i drive those screws all day long
on the banks of the subterranean river
i dream of my home

when i was just a little itty bitty pup
my pappy said to me
barry, i'm not long for this world
i'm a heading for the surface today

it was on that day that i knew i was alone
though my comrades are all around me everywhere
deep inside my throat are words never spoken
harder than a sailor's but softer than a prayer

don't you know the time has come for leaving
the end is near the calandar draws to a close
fixated on your claws, if you took the time to pause
you'd start believing
you'd root it out of the dirt with your nose

i never saw the point of marriage
what use have i for a wife
kick out a few pups, watch the sunday parade go by
no, not me, that is not my life

in the back of my burrow i keep it all hidden
my first class ticket straight out of here
you say you want to come with me but i don't think you understand
where i'm going all molemen disappear

so it's goodbye to the tunnels and gossip
goodbye to the old tin whistle whine
goodbye to the subterranean river
goodbye to the home that was never mine

Nice. I like the instrumentation. There's a lot going on there.

I'm surprised you made no mention of Song Fu in the sidebar? I'm surprised that you put this up today and didn't wait until next Tuesday. I guess between now and when this is due, you could have 3 more Mole-Man songs recorded and can choose between them!

great work

[umbroog]

This one's an epic. One of the better ones, I think. Most inspirational song about a mole I've heard, anyway.

[lehman]

excellent entry tho

Personally I didn't like the first challenge for Song Fu #5, but this is a pretty good submission.
