tapostrophemo / Dog's Lament

Last active December 13, 2015 16:48

another song; this one has a chorus, but needs a *story* and some verses

	(intro - ooh ooh's)

	(verse 1)
	We drove all night to get to Grandma's house.
	I want to stay outside and play
	'Cause way out by the barn
	I can see some trees
	And fields of hay.

	I see you spending all your time inside.

tapostrophemo / There She Goes, Walking Down The Street

Last active December 15, 2015 07:49

yadda yadda yadda

	There she goes, walking down the street.
	Look at those, little tiny feet
	Plow through snow, dance across the leaves.
	Walking out on in front of me.

	Sniff around, all the things that fell
	On the ground. Oh you want to smell
	Who went by on their walk today.
	Me oh my! Let's stay out and play.

tapostrophemo / You're (Obviously) Doing It Wrong!

Last active December 19, 2015 02:19

obviously...hehlyrics by TC and DP; music by DP

	(verse)
	E B
	We made an API that does a lot of work
	C#m A
	And it's so easy to use. (It's extensible!)
	E B
	You say it's too verbose, and that we didn't pair,
	C#m A
	I just think you've got the blues.

tapostrophemo / One Day Down

Created June 28, 2013 02:25

More story-telling, less taxes (though that's another song)

	(verse 1)
	...

	(chorus)
	One day down, and one more day to go
	'Till I'm right there by your side, by your side. Ooh ooh ooh.
	One day down is one more day we know that things'll be all right.
	...

	(verse 2)

tapostrophemo / Sounds In The Night

Last active December 20, 2015 13:09

I don't mean for this to be Country...but it's leaning that direction.

	(verse)
	Was it the buzz-saw hum of the stadium lights
	Or the earthy drone of cicadas in flight
	That brought back strong the memory -
	'That summer night - just you and me?

	Walking 'round the block to see
	Who else was out besides you and me.
	Our footsteps soft in the gentle breeze,
	The sound of crickets' chirp through the trees.

tapostrophemo / Where Did I Hear This Before?

Last active December 25, 2015 22:39

	(Verse 1)
	Where did I hear this before?
	You say it over and over, again and again.
	Oh why don't you give some more
	Of all the things that you promised way back then?

	(Chorus 1)
	I try so hard,
	Try to give you all the love in the world!
	"It's not enough," you say to me.

tapostrophemo / Bright Patch Of Sky

Last active January 3, 2016 02:19

nominally about looking out at the Cleveland weather in winter

	(verse 1)
	Looking out through the window,
	Sitting here on the stairs.
	I try to see out forever,
	But instead see nowhere.

	Walk around the whole block now,
	Just to get on my feet.
	'Seems the wind won't stop blowing
	Up and down on the street.

tapostrophemo / Gatekeeper

Last active August 29, 2015 14:01

The song of my co-workers (and myself, at times).

	(verse)
	D A Bm G
	Gatekeeper, why won't you let me write that code?

	D A Bm G A (D)
	Gatekeeper, all this merging gets so very, very old!

	D A Bm G
	Gatekeeper, won't you please deploy my code?

tapostrophemo / Metro-Pool

Last active August 29, 2015 14:03

Will I every be dry again? Maybe this ought to be called "(De)Ranged and Far From Home"

	(verse 1)
	It's so humid in this town,
	When I open the door I almost drown!
	I never see the stars at night,
	'Cause the clouds are reflecting all the street lights.
	I want to go back home,
	Where antelope and buffalo can roam.

	It's so crowded in this place,
	We're standing back to back and face to face.
