Bit of fun, started with the 'what's your sign' challenge, saw the 'Livestock Market' sign down the road from me (before this challenge I never noticed this sign, amazing what you miss when you're not looking), this sign sparked an idea for the song.
Livestock Market.......This instantly made me think of a Butlins 70's weekend I went on last year for a friends 40th birthday, eye opening to say the least, times certainly have changed.
Here's to Butlins Minehead!
other inspo for this song from @sw1n3flu and @blindsheepdog
Also not really 'cowcore', but a smidge is better than none?
What happened to a chat up line
Where has the romance gone
Did I miss the memo gentlemen
Where did these cowboys come from
To casting out a fishing line
To patience for a catch
Put your lasso away now boy
Im not your tinder match
I ain’t no sitting duck no
I’m afraid you’ve missed your target
You ain’t no prize bull my friend
this ain’t no
livestock market
What happened to a lingering stare
Across the crowded bar
And I mean eye to eye
Not your eye to my arse
To asking if I wanna dance
before you just assume
To treating me like I’m the only
Girl in the room.
I ain’t no sitting duck no
I’m afraid you’ve missed your target
You ain’t no prize bull my friend
this ain’t no
livestock market
Can you accept I’m happy
Just to be here with my friends
I’m not here for you pleasure
To your will I will not bend
I know I’ll crush your ego
Might even break your heart
for a second till you find
another victim for your dart
I ain’t no sitting duck no
I’m afraid you’ve missed your target
You ain’t no prize bull my friend
this ain’t no
livestock market

The cowbell start made me smile! I like the chorus - a lot. And a cowbell finish too! Nice.
@sw1n3flu Feb 2022
Ahh no wonder you wanted that cowbell!
This is a hilarious, well crafted song. Can defo hear it played with a full band ... maybe not quite the wurzels, but you know even more farmy....
It's very catchy!

More cowbell! Love it! Dolly Parton with attitude. You write very clever lyrics too.
