P A P A I S A R O L L I N G S T O N E

It seems like it might be time for me to give up the day job. First Dad took over and could paint better than me and now he is showing me up with his lyric writing skills. He has written this song on behalf of me ie. he has written it from my perspective. See my notes on his work in blue.

-Dad's poetic masterpiece-

I'm very proud and that's what makes me loud
I need to stop roaming because I need a vacation
If you like this song you need an explanation
My hope in life is to live on a plantation Dad explained to me that a plantation is where drugs grow. I was obviously being naive thinking Dad would like me to live surrounded by bananas.
When I lie in bed I am so full of emotion
I would like to drive a train but there's only locomotion
My concentration's poor and I lack in inspiration Thanks Dad!
My Dad is raw and my mum's got no imagination
These next three lines are my favourite
I can't pay my rent but my Dad is understanding
My boyfriend won't help because he thinks I'm too demanding
I could live in a cave but i'm thinking of expanding BOOM


Below is the chorus, I think it needs work. I told Dad it doesn't make any sense, but he doesn't seem to care. Dad sings it to the melody of groovy kind of love.
If ur feeling good you should take a look in the book of love
When you are feeling bad you should be glad and not too sad
An it's a shame you can't change your name
And you don't have to explain about the pain

This song is a work in progress so don't judge Tezza too harshly. I'm quite impressed with it seeing as he left school at fifteen and the only thing he usually writes are cheques, lists and addresses on envelopes.
