Yellow Bellied Fear - 9/19/2007

Yellow-bellied fear is callin' on my cell phone

I'm pretendin' not to hear, but he won't go away

I'm sorry I can't take your call today

But if you leave your name and number I'll get back to you someday

CHORUS:

Someday when I'm rich and famous

Someday when I am thin enough

Someday when my family's baggage, isn't weighin' me down

Someday when I'm less addicted

Someday when I'm perfect in this life - I'll call you back



Yellow bellied fear was waitin' on my doorstep

When I came home late, that February night

He said, "Won't you have a cup of coffee with me please?"

I said, "Not tonight, it's late and I need my sleep"

CHORUS:

But

Someday when I'm rich and famous

Someday when I am thin enough

Someday when my family's baggage, isn't weighin' me down

Someday when I'm less addicted

Someday when I'm perfect in this life - I'll call you back

BRIDGE:

Oh, I can't be bothered by the details of my life

I would rather ignore what's goin' on inside this head of mine

Can't I just take a pill

That says I will

Grow big

"Cause it's easier to fall asleep than take responsibility for anything!

CHORUS:

Ya,

Someday when I'm rich and famous

Someday when I am thin enough

Someday when my family's baggage, isn't weighin' me down

Someday when I'm less addicted

Someday when I'm perfect in this life - I'll call you back

(I'll call you back I'll call you back someday, oooooo....I'll call you back I'll call you back someday, oooooo....)



Welcome to the September 19th edition of the HUMP BLOG OF LITTLE DAME.... the above is a new tune I'm working on / just finished...been busy and out of town so I'm sorry I don't have many other ponderings to offer than that today....but hopefully you will get something out of reading it...wish you could hear it, but it's just not ready for public consumption. Ha, now isn't that fitting with the theme of my song.....lol.

There are some things and life that we will probably NEVER feel ready for: kids, marriage, buying a house (or so I hear, since I have done none of the aforementioned "deeds"). So, we can either spend our lives running from Mr. yellow bellied fear or we can pick up the phone...we can go have coffee with him....hmmm, that is why i don't think this song is finished yet....i want there to be an evolution of the narrative voice......hmmmm...have to work on that....

stay tuned.....

hope you are all well, out there, wherever you are.....

cheers,
