https://soundcloud.com/orygun/its-been-a-bad-dayBit of a rough patch for me the last couple of weeks so I came up with this song. The lyrics were going to be depressing to match my mood, but I discovered again that invincible summer.
"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer."
A. Camus
So instead I wrote some funny stuff. Or maybe stupid. Whatever.
I had a little cold or something so the vocal isn't great - I don't sing that well anyway. I'll redo the vocal another time.
Thanks for listening.
It's Been A Bad Day
Guess you could say it's been a bad day
Since early this morning it's been that way
Heard my baby say I love you madly
But she was on the phone, she wasn't talking to me
So we had us a mighty big fight
Probably would have lasted a day and a night
Well I told her we were at a dead end
So she left me right then for my best friend
Well I'm out of granola, out of beer and gin
The garbage disposal ate my phone again
The cat is throwing up. The dog attacked a lawyer
I forgot about the stove and now it's on fire
chorus
--------------------------
Yeah
Guess you could say it's been a bad day
But I'll take all the lemons and make some lemonade
Don't worry about me, Gonna be just fine
So long as I got all this music inside

The raccoons are back, they're living in the attic
My left over left-overs are making me sick
I've got some new neighbors they seem ok
Except for their kid who plays the banjo all day
Got a major problem with my Oldsmobile
The problem is I'm driving an Oldsmobile
My doctor wants to see me, he said soon and don't forget
My x-rays he's never seen anything like it
Big altercation at the Dew Drop Inn
Fists were flying, the cops rushed in
I got the call at two in the morning
Had to bail my mother out of jail again
