I wanted something spontaneous and set myself the task of writing a song in five minutes. I got the Thread riff and the chorus. Building it up from there to the finished song took a lot longer. Bass lick for Monthlies same idea – first thing out of my fingers on a whim.
lyrics
GOLDEN THREAD
Hanging from a chandelier
So sorry to have missed you
Best tawdry threads and scarf and clogs
To see you would have been just the thing
Such a kick dressing to be seen
After today you've only got dreams
Mesmerized by fireworms in a vial
Hanging by a gold thread
From a chandelier
Too distracted I fell in
And only caught the floral hem
Pulling you through the needle's eye
Dear devotion: date is right; decade is wrong
In a jar of plastic beads
High on fumes and fantasy
Pulling you through the needle's eye
May 2020
MONTHLIES
I don't believe Jefferson Airplane
Ever sought the sun I'm sinking
Fills up the grab bag it's ingrained
All the years smoking & thinking
Did & didn't first year
Filling ditches next year
Arthritic mole-mind the anodyne
Has his payment plan in place
