The story of Song No. 9:
If you have been following along during this FAWM, the songs on this album have been a bit bleak. If you go through the lyrics of the previous 8 songs, you get a considerable death count, So, I felt like off-setting things with a pop song. The lyrics are kind of a pastiche, basing each line of the verses on a different song in the Billboard Top 30 from the week the song was written. And don't think this is me taking the piss out of pop songs. I think pop songs are great and there is a lot to the craft of making one. it's just a different path and the next song will be back to our reschedularly scheduled doom and gloom.
lyrics
I never learned to drive
And I'm no good at dating
All this big city living
Drives me to tears
I can't control my mood
Been staying up all night
I think I might go crazy
Just thinking of you
Hooked on you
Like a melody in my mind
D-D-Du-Du-Du
D-D-D-Da-Du-Du-Du
I try to switch it up
Love is just confusing
It's not like the movies
I'm always doing some wrong
Even on my good days
it would take a miracle
To make me anything
But lonely for you
I feel it in my blood
We belong together
I see it when you look at me
I hope you see it too.
I don't have the best body
And I'm no good on the streets
But being lonely
Leaves me incomplete
Never thought I'd fall in love
You got my heart racing
Like I took something
And I'm addicted to you
