In which I miss sounding like George Jones by the widest imaginable margin.
We’re the talk of the playground
“She’s left him again”
The group chat is buzzin’
And I get all the blame
Oh They know all the gossip
But know nowt of my pain
Yeah, They know all the gossip
And none of my pain
We’re all in the Group chat
For the parents and guardians
Of the kids in Ms Jones’s Class
To keep us up to speed
On when homework’s been given
And what PE kit they need
We try to keep it friendly
And meet up now and then
But When there’s a crisis
We really rally round
when Bobby was late returning
We searched til he was found
But when there’s some gossip
It’s quickly passed around
In private chats and messages
Like “he drinks til he falls down”
Darling,
I wrote this song
Let you know I am hurting
You’d know I still love you
Through the pain
I imagined a country song
For George Jones to sing
But my old Jaguar
Don’t sound like a pedal steel
And I sure don’t sound
Like George Jones
But in your private messages
I found your billet dioux
Your Sex chat with Bobby’s Dad
And your plans to leave me too
The parents are taking sides
And they’re not taking mine
Blocked from the group chat
To wallow in my pain
We’re the talk of the playground
“She’s left him again”
The group chat is buzzin’
And I get all the blame
Oh They know all the gossip
But know nowt of my pain
Yeah, They know all the gossip
And none of my pain

Like a maintenance man singing to himself while performing repairs deep within the bowels of some arcane machine.
Have you read George Jones' autobiography?
It's called "I Lived To Tell It All" for a good reason.
Crazy stuff.
This is Experimentation at its best.

You know, I didn't understand a single word of that, and at no point was I not paying attention. I'll admit to being fascinated right now.

Yay you’re here this FAWM! You’ve layered some really compelling soundd in to the instrumental layer here and they work with the driving beat. The vocals are leveled such that it’s hard to make them out over the mix, but I think that actually works well and amplifies the feel that the mix was already headed towards. Solid noise-pop number.

And its definitely the best title for a song that I have seen in a long time!
@richardmasters Feb 2022
Wow. Read the lyrics first before listening - wasn't expecting that! Sounds like you are channelling the Residents - which is obviously a good thing. Great.

This is weirdly compelling and sort of hypnotic. Pretty hilarious, too. You should organize a contest to see who can miss sounding like George Jones by the widest margin. I imagine you'd face some pretty stiff competition
