There was a boy who'd come see me daily I never asked, but he always paid me How we met, that's a funny story Not like the other boys who would bore me After a while we got to know each other Then one thing let to another I didn't know about his intentions But I sur loved all the attention My darling boy My boy loved all the tricks I had shown him I call him mine, because now I own him Some said it was unhealthy obsession But those are the finer points of possession My darling boy I left a note, told him to call In case he ever wanted to ball You may question my morality But you gotta have the right mentality My darling boy My darling boy

I am beautiful, I'm a wealthy man Some may think that I have it all I live the posh role, I'm a velvet man Looming large in the shadows of small Oh imitation man Fit all that I own in a garbage can Oh imitation man Fabricated emulated master plan I'm a journey man, traveled far away Some may think that I've seen it all Like the pyramids, on the English bay My words are short but my tale is tall Oh imitation man Fit all that I own in a garbage can Oh imitation man Fabricated emulated master plan It feels good to be one of the beautiful people I'm a mannequin, a false presentation Some may think that I've done it all Like a character of a culmination No foot to stand will be my fall Oh imitation man Fit all that I own in a garbage can Oh imitation man Fabricated emulated master plan

A well respected man who dresses to the t Defines himself in linen and scarfs from Burberry Each time he spots a mirror can't help but stop and stare Down the street yeah he's the one to care His beard is sheer perfection, shirts are squeaky clean His pants have pleated cuffs with stripes his clothing bill's obscene Each time he comes for dinner he has to up his game On the billboard "fashion" is his name Oh oh watch him go Oh my this fashion guy Oh oh watch him go Grab a spot he's the one to watch His shelves are filled with catalogs, his closets over flow Dreams of silk and Nehru collars, cotton and gold toe 7th avenue sweetheart proud of every stitch Waiting for the new lines such bitch! Oh oh watch him go Oh my this fashion guy Oh oh watch him go Grab a spot he's the one to watch What's it all amount to this lust for debonair Keeping up appearances but do they really care? In the end you strip it down and who's to say he won't Style... you've either got it, or you don't! Oh oh watch him go Oh my this fashion guy Oh oh watch him go Find your spot he's the one to watch Well respected man, who dresses to the t Defines himself in linen and shirts from Burberry Will he ever find his fashionista bliss Mark it down seal it with a kiss...

Like a million others, I headed west for California sun Find a boy who found a guitar, I'm gonna make him the one I've got my eyes on you, twirling on the beach I'll be yours, forevermore, never out of reach A salesforce with passports for heaven, I walk away You've got the songs, the songs that make me wanna sing & pray In the dark I feel you, we are so near I need to whisper the words you need to hear What's all this talk, talk about headlights Isn't it enough to just hold each other tight After all we've been through, you & I will be alright Just know that you are always mine Have you ever felt anything so true We lie side by side, there's only me & you Like a million others, I headed west for California sun Found a boy who found a guitar, moved from clubs to auditoriums Blue eyed, side to side, I sway to the tunes Feel the sand beneath our toes, by the light of the moon What's all this talk, talk about headlights Isn't it enough to just hold each other tight After all we've been through, you & I will be alright Just know that you are always mine What's all this talk, talk about headlights Isn't it enough to just hold each other tight After all we've been through, you & I will be alright Just know that you are always mine Just know that you are always mine

about

The assignment this week comes from DD:

"Choose an existing song that features a prominent and reasonably well-developed second- or third-person character. Write a new song from that character’s first-person perspective. For bonus fun, the rest of us can try to guess the original character/song."
