Too Busy To Be Blue
OK, this week’s project is getting the rest of the lyrics up for The Year of Longing Dangerously, the concept record or song cycle or whatever you want to call it I released in 2004.Over the next five or six days you’ll see 8 slices of unrequited love. Hide the sharp objects.
Anyway, this one, is as simple as it is, proved almost impossible to write.
Blah the blah. Blah the blah. Do you know how hard it was to write this P.O.S. and not repeat anything?
Don’t believe anyone who says they wrote a song in 10 minutes.
Make some toast. Read the news. Comb my hair. Shine my shoes.
Brush my teeth. Press my pants. Walk the dog. Water the plants.
These days I’d do anything to keep my mind off of you….
I’m trying to be too busy to be blue.
Call my mom. Make some tea. Skim a book. Watch TV.
Learn some french. Fix the car. Move the couch. Wish on a star.
These days I’d do anything to keep my mind off of you….
I’m trying to be too busy to be blue.
When I lost your heart I lost my motivation.
Now I try to lose myself in procrastination.
Feed the fish. Pay the bills. Cry a bit. Take some pills.
Go to bed. Sleep too long. Wake up late. Write you this song.
These days I’d do anything to keep my mind off of you….
I’m trying to be too busy to be blue.
