Kind of a dark Randy Newman/Elvis Costello anthem
Story behind the song
This woman has some issues
Lyrics
He spurned her long ago
Though his memory still remains
Deep within the hollows
Of her cinematic brain
Shes not the type of girl
Who openly discloses
And the garden in her mind is filled
Is filled with trampled roses
Shes still holding on
To his enigmatic presence
Always seeking his approval
Longing for acceptance
And each night he lays with her
Like a maestro, she composes
Still making love to him in her bed
In her bed of trampled roses
Struggling with her pride
Like a flower without petals
I think its fair to say that
She doesn't like to settle
And when the morning light
Awkwardly imposes
She hides her body from the sun
In a bouquet of trampled roses
Cause shes not the type of girl
Who readily exposes
And the garden in her mind is filled,
Is filled with trampled roses

Hi my name it Tee Washington (comedian, actor, director associated with RudeKings Videography).... i used your song "Trampled Roses" in a little short to test out my video settings recently. Didnt plan to share it but posted it on youtube and got some nice feedback on the Rough copy. So i thought i'd actually shoot something seriously next time and using one of your songs again. (Not for money but just because i liked the story behind the music). Please go to youtube.com/rudekings if you want to check out the short and contact us anytime. thanks.
