NiftyFinety.com: All 50/90 Demos

I was in the mood to do something punky and kinda rock out on the drums. (Which necessitated an hour of pre-work to rearrange the studio and run all the cabling for 7 drum mics around.) Now my arms are really tired. Just a fun little punk tune, using bits of lyrics I've had lying around without a home for ages. It's nice to give orphans a home. Apart from that, this is mostly a songwriting warm-up exercise. Nice to break out of the I-IV-V pattern for a change. The self help book I'm reading Says it shouldn't matter where I'm going That the living's in the journey Let the wind take me where it's blowing I left Common Sense 200 hundred miles ago Insanity's up ahead And whether I enjoy the journey Either way I'm gonna end up dead Stop (Stop) and smell the flowers Stop (Stop) and smell the flowers Stop (Stop) and smell the flowers Our destination's the same Doesn't matter where you started We'll make some noise and you'll pick your poison And soon we'll all be departed In expectation vs reality, Reality never wins Whether you stay or go You're always paying for your sins Clean up, be good, play nice Pray that your soul gets saved And come the reckoning I'll be the one dancing on your grave Stop (Stop) and smell the flowers Stop (Stop) and smell the flowers Stop (Stop) and smell the flowers Our destination's the same Doesn't matter where you started We'll make some noise and you'll pick your poison And soon we'll be departed Stop (Stop) and smell the flowers Stop (Stop) and smell the flowers Stop (Stop) and smell the flowers Our destination's the same Doesn't matter where you started We'll make some noise and you'll pick your poison And soon we'll be departed
