New Songwriter Lyrics by Glenn Richards

FIBATTY!

2020

(Verse 1)
Everybody’s got a guy
Everybody’s got a writer in a room
Working late into the dog afternoon
On some slick serenade, some twee teeny toon
(Chorus)
But my guy’s not doing so well
He’s drinking all night and sleeping all day
It’s all gone to hell
(Verse 2)
I’ve been trying to tell him
That’s my job not yours
I’m the face of the franchise
You’re the heartbeat under the boards
(Verse 3)
Everybody knows the lie
Everybody knows the land and its lay
The grift is much quicker and easier
Than the graft today
(Chorus)
But my guy seems to’ve figured it out
He’s opened the door
To the attic oh lord
Now it’s all arse about!
(Verse 4)
I plead my case and implore but
He just dances away
Now I’m the face in the portrait
And he’s a new born Dorian Gray
(Bridge)
With great calamity
There comes opportunity
This has been proven to me
Every now and then
Now I find myself alone
I shall have to write my own
And how could it go wrong
It’s just a little a song, no?
No
(Instrumental Break)
(Verse 5)
That’s why everybody’s got a guy
Everybody’s got some stiff up in a room
Doing the things we don’t know how to do
While we bask in the light of a credit or two
(Chorus)
But my guy’s not toeing the line
He says he’s tired of being in prison
And doing somebody else’s time
My guy’s checked out of the Tower of Song
Trashed the room left a mess
And no forwarding address
All have is this note on a crumpled up kleenex
(Verse 6)
“I’ve been trying to tell you
For a very long time
All these liquid emotions
Well they’re probably mine
You’re not getting very much younger
And baby you ain’t getting brighter
Perhaps you need to find yourself a new songwriteeeeerup!!
Everybody’s got a guy
Everybody’s got some gimp down in a cage
Running the lines til they’re palatable
Or just about edgy enough for this age of lies
