#0, writin' song of the evening
Posted by Gryphon on Aug-20-20 at 02:23 AM
When I'm not playing solitaire
I take a book down from the shelf
And what with programs on the air
I keep pretty much to myself

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

Oh darlin' I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates
Might've gone but what for?
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Oh darlin' I guess
My mind's more at ease
But nevertheless
Why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates
Might've gone but what for?
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Don't get around much anymore
Don't get around much anymore

Might I also recommend Sparrow's Point by Richard Shindell?

It's a very pretty song, though it doesn't fit the mood of the thing I'm working on terribly well.

Sounds like the sort of episode where you're stuck on base for any number of reasons then.

Let me introduce myself
You didn't think I was done, didja?
Well I just began having my fun, baby
Some people live for attention
Playing the victim
But baby I was born to do the killing

I see how you're going crazy
Always thinking 'bout me
Baby on the daily
Feed me your negativity
Talk some more about me
I know that you love me, love me

Funny how you think I'm bothered
Know I'm nothing like the others
You shouldn't have messed with me 'cause I heard
That you're afraid of monsters, monsters
Are you ready for the monster, monster?
Are you ready for the monster, monster?
Are you ready for the monster, monster?
You ain't ready for the monster, monster

I'm just being me
Cut out the things that I don't need
And I don't care if you disagree
I don't need no sympathy
Winning the game on my own, yeah baby

I see how you're going crazy
Always thinking 'bout me
Baby on the daily
Feed me your negativity
Talk some more about me
I know that you love me, love me

Funny how you think I'm bothered
Know I'm nothing like the others
You shouldn't have messed with me 'cause I heard
That you're afraid of monsters, monsters
Are you ready for the monster, monster?
Are you ready for the monster, monster?
Are you ready for the monster, monster?
You ain't ready for the monster, monster

Ah, it could've been so different between us
But then you went and messed everything up
You took a knife and stabbed me in the back
Took everything I had
Went to your friends and laughed
This is the last time
I'm gonna tell you now
If you try to break me
I'm gonna burn you down
No baby I'm done with you
Not coming back for you...

Let me introduce myself
It's funny how you think I'm bothered
Know I'm nothing like the others
You shouldn't have messed with me 'cause I heard
That you're afraid of monsters, monsters
Are you ready for the monster, monster?
Are you ready for the monster, monster?
Are you ready for the monster, monster?
You ain't ready for the monster, monster

What a horrible night to have a curse.
