EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT NEW LYRICS

[Kill Bosby]

The song is called "After Dinner Mints". Damon wrote it on the piano in C, later changing it to the key of A flat. (It's a bitch to play in A flat) ...

It's a spin on the world state...Damon seems to write a lot of stuff with this in mind. We hope you enjoy the lyrics. Just picture a nice grand piano accompanying it.



After Dinner Mints.

I heard the forecast on the radio today.
It's raining harder than it has before.

I saw some friends get put out in the cold today.
After all the service no one's listening.

Time and time again I open up my eyes.
And see the truth from under all the lies.

And the world will see,
We all have enemies.
It's a tragedy, they're walking along the shores,
Waging all the wars on to the world...

While eating after dinner mints.

No response was my response until today.
As I wonder where the money goes.

And every now and then I dream about a time.
A time when I was young and uninformed.

I heard another soldier lost his life today.
Fighting for my freedom, so they say.

And the world will see,
We all have enemies.
It's a tragedy, they're walking along the shores,
Waging all the wars on to the world...

Too much blood has been washed away.
With nothing to show for it.
Too much time is just wasting away.
And the blood is on our hands.

Why is this happening?
Why is this happening?
Why is this happening?

I heard the forecast on the radio today.
It seems the clouds are gonna go away.

Time and time again I'd like to close my eyes.
And pretend the world will be okay.

And the world will see,
We all have enemies.
It's a tragedy, they're walking along the shores,
Waging all the wars on to the world...

Why is this happening?
Why is this happening?
What is this place I can't recall?
We forged the center of it all.
Why is this happening?
Why is this happening?

As I wonder where the "Money" goes.

It seems the "Clouds" are gonna go away.

Shit shit shit!

[dillweed]

I fixed it for you. ;D

[thebigO]

WERD!!!

What do you think of it? Honestly.

[dillweed]

Honestly, I think its pretty good. The lyrics bring to mind "Pretend" and "Choose or Die" but they seem even more thought out. Pretty emotional stuff. Its very hard to tell without the context of hearing emotion within the song. I would compare it to watching a movie with the sound off, you just don't get the whole experience. In other words if I could hear it I would be able to tell you better.

I particularity like this part:

I heard another soldier lost his life today.
Fighting for my freedom, so they say.

And the world will see,
We all have enemies.
It's a tragedy, they're walking along the shores,
Waging all the wars on to the world...

Too much blood has been washed away.
With nothing to show for it.
Too much time is just wasting away.
And the blood is on our hands.

Do you have a rough demo of this one? I'd love to hear it. I'm thinking about buying some webspace so bands can post their songs and share them here.

Well, it's funny, (I am listening to "The Ring of Power" on repeat while I type) you know I am not a piano player but I am getting pretty good at it. I have no way to record right now, otherwise it would be done-as-phuk.

I want to go into the studio later this summer and re-record the older tunes and really nail them along with the countless others that are in progress.

Thanks for the feedback. Believe it or not, that first line you put that you liked has not been well read by many. Some think that I am paying tribute to lives lost (which I am but only because dying is sad) and some think that I am walking on the graves of those who have died. I think it's the "so they say" part that people love or hate.

Whatever...I live in Right Wing Conspiracyville so this song will probably burn me down in this town. It's how I feel though. Anyway, thanks for the FB and anyone else liking or hating it, feel free to opinionize.

I'm going to steal those lyrics and see how well I can put some guitar in the back and record that shit. Not to steal it but to kill time.
