Gary Carciello came up with a backing track for a Classic Rock song and asked Doctor C to add his keyboard skills and me to come up with some lyrics and do the vocals. This is the result.
Story behind the song
It was Gary's brainchild.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Got a quaintly queer and quirky new sensation wafting over me
Got an emptiness in the pit of my stomach telling me things ain’t what they used to be
Chorus
A kick in the guts would have been kinder
Than airing your dirty heart on the line
A kick in the guts would have been nicer
A kick in the guts would be fine
A kick in the guts would have been fairer
Or maybe just twisting my nuts in a vice
A kick in the guts would have been better
Than hearing that we’re at the end of the line
Verse 2
It was a wordy wild and worldly message that you sent to him
And you left in your outbox open for me to see
Was that just a whim
Bridge
I know you think that it’s clever
Running round and playing the field
I know you don’t give a damn
About the tears that I shed or the way that I feel
I know you’re a long time flirt
Let your eyes do your dirty work
I know you’re on the alert
For any excuse for dropping your skirt
Repeat chorus
Instrumental Breaks
Verse 3
Got a deeply dark and dirty sense of anger welling up in me
Got a pile of shredded photographs of you staring up at me
Verse 4
Got my last cigarette to draw upon for some sympathy
Got the last two mouthfuls of a bottle of scotch to try to numb the agony
Chorus and adlib outro
