William Nesmith - Musician's Lament 02:46
lyrics
buy track
Well hello ma’am, how are ya Looks like you’re feeling fine I don’t know if you noticed but You’ve spilled your glass of wine (on me) Yes ma’am, I know that artist But I’ve never heard that tune Believe me, I’m so sorry I can’t play that song for you Well hello sir, good evening This just might blow your mind But I can’t talk to you and sing This song at the same time (crazy, right?) If you would wait one chorus I’ll look up what you said And try to play the random song That popped into your head I know a little Elton A little Billy Joel A whole lot of Motown And Old Time Rock and Roll I’m wearing party glasses For every song I sing Why don’t you sit back down, please And let me do my thing? (No? Well, I thought I’d ask) I’m trying to ignore you But that only makes it worse You’re showing me your phone screen With a song you’ve Google searched (here it is) And when I play it next up You’re laughing with your friends No money in my tip jar You’re not even listening And hey repeat offender I guess I’ll never win I’ve played your last three song requests Yet here you are again (oh, you’re amazing!) “Oh, no! I don’t know that one” I’m guess 3 for 4 Now don’t look so disappointed Pick your mouth up off the floor I’m playing every genre I’m playing old and new I’m singing in a high voice And then a low one too I’m just a one-man band here And everything is live I think it’s settled That-a you will never Be-a satisfied My name is not Alexa I’m made of skin and bone And if you can’t accept that You are welcome to go home (just kidding) I know that I can’t say that But it’s how I feel inside I’m sorry, I’m so sorry I can’t Play that song tonight So sorry, I’m not sorry, I won’t Play that song tonight And I won’t learn it when I go home either Good night everybody, and 🎹 you!

Doug Davis - For I May Not Lie Still 03:03
lyrics

Perseus has turned away The Taurus makes no further claim And here I lie in final pose and watch you spit upon my shame I made no call for bloodshed here Or rallied proxies gather round I could not see the madness grown The fetid swamps you chose to drown Best make sure and plant your flag The shadow of the hill Careful where you bury me For I may not lie still Did you pause to once consider As your ran your ledgers down Somewhere close behind those numbers Lived the far side of the crown The fears and flames of common hearts The minutes hanging on the clocks The multitudes of yearning hopes You dashed like shells upon the rocks Best make sure and plant your flag The shadow of the hill Careful where you bury me For I may not lie still You raised your pike from ancient score Long forgot by all or most And sacrificed you honor’s store For some restless blood-mad ghost So settle up your bounty high as you rob the pauper’s purse But hear me when I promise right the beggar wears this Midas curse Best make sure and plant your flag The shadow of the hill Careful where you bury me For I may not lie still
