MARCUS! Why do I have to keep splainin' this **** to you guys? :rollno: The lyrics HAVE to go with the goddamn rhythmic figures of the damn tune. If you can demonstrate to us HOW in the goddamn world you can fit "U's the unsual, burning pee" into that part of the tune, we'll give you five godamn stars!!!

Not according to the rules of this thread:
We made an artificial verse, and the vocalist sang:

I said when you went to the factory,
"Watch out for the big machine."
But you wouldn't listen to me, and
Now you know what I mean:
(Continuing with the unaltered lyric to Little Girl Blue)

Sit there, and count your fingers.
What can you do? Old girl, you're through.
Sit there and count your little fingers,
Unlucky little girl blue.

Sorry, boys. Had one other thing to do today besides deal with this thread....she just split. :mad:
OK, one at a time:
Cool. I'm with Ed's cold-hearted remark. At 38, you really should know better. 1/2 star fer the shot.
Dan. A fiver on the old Deano hit. Anyone who can get an ugly Morey eel into a tune is tops with us.
Ed, you get five just for a dose of ugly reality. (can you believe Cool is 38? Really.....) I think you incuded Dan in your cold remark....does look like he's from the "other" side, but what the hell?
Gimongous. Good, but we need some newer material. I'm so tired of playing that tune behind 6-8 horn players at a session that it just don't work fer me no more....four, anyway though.
ee. This *** is keeping you busy ain't it? Only three & 1/2. Come up with a differnt tune.
Dono. A firm fiver. Inventive with the verse. Lyrics, nice, dark and ugly without nasty words. Good tune. (at least, it was.)
I gotta go practice for a minute or two now, to make myself think I have a life.

Just cause I haven't done it lately. This is for all you "new folks" out there....

You don't know
where One is,
you never know the changes or the form.
Your playing is so far below the norm,
And you don't know
where One is.

You don't know
where beats are,
you cannot tell beat one from "and" of three.
Just how lame can one poor fella be?
And you don't know
where One is.

Do you know the key or chords
for tunes you claim you're knowin'?
No wonder you sound so lost,
once you've started blowin'...

I can't tell
from your line
whether you're in 3 or in 5/4.
I tell you this and tell you one thing more,
you don't know
where One is....

This was inspired by my own efforts to quit. Hopefully it doesn't offend anyone..:hiding:

Choking, Hacking, Spitting, Coughing
The girl with emphysema goes walking,
And when she passes,each one she passes goes
"eeew!"

When she breathes she's like a freight train that,
chugs along and sounds so frightening,
That when she passes each one she passes goes
"aaaargh!"

Oh, but I watch her so sadly,
How can I tell her stop smoking?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly

But each day when she walks to the sea,
the smoke is so thick you can't see

Hacking, Spitting, choking, coughing
The girl with emphysema goes walking,
And when she passes I smile,
but she can't see me,
She just doesn't see, No she doesn't see

Falling Trees (Autumn Leaves)

The falling trees crashed through my window
Those broken trees are getting old
I see you trip each time the wind blows
Your flailing hands I can not hold

Since you flailed away there’s something wrong
And I can hear the reaper’s song
Guess I’ll miss you most of all my darling
When the reaper makes his call
