sorry i haven't been around in awhile. here's my song that i've been working on for a long time. too long. now it's done.

California.

we walked the santa monica strip
and watched our bare feet slip
under tidal waves and wet sands.

it felt like we were the first
in the universe
to love in California

you're the oldest trick in the book
and i'm iliterate
(you were the one that started it!)
(you were the one that started it!)
and the sun couldn't outshine us indoors

my first time alone out state
you know i couldn't wait
to stay at home with you and screw the sites!

but it felt like a tortured death
a black veiled LAX
a kiss, a don't, a tear, a female tear

you're the olderst trick in the book
and i'm iliterate
(you were the one that started it)
(you were the one that started it)
and the sun couldn't outshine us indoors

i guess we all need more theatrics to keep you all interested and entertained.

I mean....... I like it......... a lot :wink:

all these amazing things like
"it felt like we were the first
in the universe
to love in California"

"you're the oldest trick in the book
and i'm iliterate"

"and the sun couldn't outshine us indoors"

"i guess we all need more theatrics to keep you all interested and entertained."

Awesome. As BN said, it is very unique and has lots of very good lines (all of the ones BN quoted were my favorites.)
Keep it up!

There's a thin fine line between hate and rage.
Now watch the line be crossed and break!

Reads very well to me - only place I got a little confused was here....

but it felt like a tortured death
a black veiled LAX
a kiss, a don't, a tear, a female tear

I love the 3rd line, I just don't get the second....what's LAX?

and I really hope you meant this .....

"you're the olderst trick in the book
and i'm iliterate"

Oldest.....illiterate.....if you didn't mean it, I hope it was just bad typing!!!!

"a kiss, a don't, a tear, a female tear"....

I hope I've got this right, and it's meant to be the subtle opposite of "Doe, a deer, a female deer".....

:D :D :D

Welcome Back,

I like the song, but how does it fit the assignment?

Do you have a quote that inspired this?

Good stuff

my quote was "the oldest trick in the book." maybe that's not cliche... i couldn't quit think if it was or not.

and LAX is the Los Angelas Airport in Cali.
yes it was "oldest"
yes i was playing off "doe, a deer, a female deer."

thanks for yer comments. i really was thinking the chorus may be stupid because there is a very fine line between genius and total retardedness. i couldn't tell which and realising i wrote it assumed the worst.
