Princess Playdate: "Skydiver" by @JolieODell

I CANNOT SING & PLAY AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Jolie O'Dell, Star St. Germain, Bexie Brown, Ben Mulholland, and Ryan Ochs at their gig at the Gig in June 2007. LYRICS BELOW.

Note: "Spanger": One who requests spare change.

Jesse was a spanger,
Wasn't a friend of mine.
Still I couldn't call him a stranger
Cause I saw him all the time.
Sitting in front of the liquor store:
"Missy, can you spare a dime?"
Oh, Jesse, Jesse the spanger,
You might want to change your line.

CHORUS:
Skydiver falling, falling
Into the ground.
And Jesse's going, going
All the way down.

You never saw him with vodka,
You wouldn't find him with gin.
And it just might shock ya,
But he never put liquor in him.
Heard that he tried crack once
Just on a whim.
Oh, Jesse, I wanna talk to ya,
But I'll never see you again.

CHORUS

Now he got kinda antsy,
Started saving all his cash.
He said, "If I'm gonna end it,
I gotta do it and I gotta act fast."
He went down to the airport
And bought himself a class.
Oh, Jesse the skydiver,
You sure gonna make a splash.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Don't wanna hang, don't wanna shoot.
Just don't open your parachute.

Aw, thanks! I had SO much fun with this one, and the band loved it, too. They were great to work with and taught me so much about teamwork. I was a Nazi at the time... 8 hour rehearsals. I needed to tone it down, and they were very patient with me.

plus mauvais! sloppy playing, poor singing, bad songwriting.

Love it... Great Voice... Early days of great success. So much ambition... & That horn solo in your face... Too cool. Too many people in your band too? I'd Rather just hear voice and cello. As in your voice is what's impressive & deserves to be central to yur sound. --->Just keep doing whatever it is your doing! & Lots of it! You got all it takes to accomplish what u want. So be certain whatever you want doesn't end up tricking you into something stupid. Above all, always be prolific & enduring!

[ArdieVerde]

Brimming with wonderfulness!

I think this one's my favorite so far - maybe it's the name. :-)
