Hi everyone, I'm in a silly and maybe a bit crazy mood, must be the full moon! *howls* lol. Or the excessive amount of coffee I've consumed today that's propping me up coz I have a stinking never-ending cold lol. I can't sing this song without laughing, I don't know why, I'm sorry! This is the good as I can manage, I'm afraid! I promised you a silly song after the last rather depressing one, so here lol. I will, one day, make myself learn about chord progressions etc, I have no idea what I'm doing, it's probably obvious! lol.
This song has a similar sort of message to Michelle's 'Stop The World With Me'...

Go and watch it, it's one of my favourites :-) Her song is elegant and beautifully played, in contrast to mine lol. :-)
LYRICS:
I was driving my car
And some thickhead
Overtakes me on a corner
And ploughs into a tree,
Oh deary me,
Why the hurry?
He bounced right off it,
Came back like a boomerang
And span, and dented
My yellow mustang,
Oh deary me,
Why the hurry?
Chorus:
I'm too slow,
I'm too slow,
You're too fast.
You're too fast,
You're too fast,
I'm too slow.
I was shopping in ASDA
And some stupid cow
Jumps the cue,
Then shouts abuse,
She got dragged away
By security,
What a pity,
Oh deary me,
Why the hurry?
I was in a fancy restaurant
Watching this posh git
Bolting down his food,
He choked on the aparagus,
Then spewed,
Oh deary me,
Why the hurry?
CHORUS
Then I think I said (through the laughing):
Life's not a race,
Take that panicked
Look off your face,
Sit down and have
A nice cup of tea,
Chill out people,
Trust me,
You're missing it,
The beauty amougst
The sh*t,
Have a little nap,
Take a chill pill,
Be still,
Make like a tortoise,
Or maybe a snail,
Actually, no, a statue,
Just stop!
(that wasn't what I had in mind lol)
