THE LYRICIST’S LAMENT

Music by Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

I was asked to write a song
I said “Easy,” it’s “easy peasy”
Just find a word at the end of the line
Then you gotta make it rhyme
With love and stars above
It won’t take you very long

But I found out that I was wrong
Wasn’t thinking, had I been drinking?
Words don’t fall like rain from the sky
But a lot of little jewels
Like tiny molecules
Could grow up to be a song

Try to sing it using verbal dexterity
You can wing it schmoozing perfect sincerity
You could be climbing a stairway to heaven
Once you’re up it you’ll be stuck like a puppet on a string

So we’re coming to the end the conclusion
No illusion,
This little story’s hit the end of the road
And it’s just a bunch of sounds
To please the ear
So nice to hear
And you got another job
Done and dusted

MR BEGGIN’ME
I’m the guy who paints the walls all pink, white, red and green

Yellow, blue, black, purple, orange
lime and gray

Moving like the bouncy ball, I bump your clouds away

Ain't no goddamn chains to slow me down today

Boys and girls, stay with me 'cause I got so much to say

Listen up! Get down! All good ? Now it's
time to play!

I was made to lift you up, to send you all to sky and
space

I'm your best shot if you need a dream to chase

I'm sure you'll be back for more, I'm such a sight to see

When your day's all wrong, y'all know the place to be

Jump on board my ship of gold, we're leaving in a bit

It's a free ride if you're ready, take a trip

I'm Mister Beggin'me x2

Take your time you'll find you're fine with Beggin'me
