Tuesday: I absolutely love Andrea's lyrics and really enjoyed getting to put them to music!
Andrea: I love Tuesday's style. She is so talented. I love the music, the vocals and the super catchy melodies. I am loving our song!
I never leave my house
Without pockets and a purse
Essential things I need
Living with this curse
I never know just when
The urge is going to hit
Once that trigger fires
I know I must submit
Every store's an invitation
Every item sweet temptation
Can't control the escalation
Need this gratification
Sticky fingers
My aphrodisiac
Sticky fingers
I'm a kleptomaniac
Sticky fingers
I'm a kleptomaniac
Sweet silver little bell
Purple shade of lipstick
Magician's set of cards
I'm so good at this trick
All things that I don't need
And stuff that I won't use
A collection of pure sh#*
My secret hidden fuse
Every store's an invitation
Every item sweet temptation
Can't control the escalation
Need this gratification
Sticky fingers
My aphrodisiac
Sticky fingers
I'm a kleptomaniac
Sticky fingers
I'm a kleptomaniac
Please don't judge me
If you can't walk in my shoes
I take the blame
I feel the shame
For my secret hidden fuse
Please don't judge me
If you can't walk in my shoes
I take the blame
I feel the shame
For my secret hidden fuse
Sticky fingers
My aphrodisiac
Sticky fingers
I'm a kleptomaniac
Sticky fingers
I'm a kleptomaniac

I love how the fast rythm mymic the rush of adrenaline in a kleptomaniac brain.
Funy how "essential things I need" are empty stuff...
Guitar lines are absolutely massive.
@greengrassgirl Mar 2022
Andrea, You are SO versatile in your lyric topics. This is terrific! And @tuesdaygray's music and delivery are just perfect for it. Congrats, you two!
@zeekle1998 Mar 2022
This definitely rocks. Great guitar sounds. The vocals have a Gwen Steffani vibe, really liked the backing vocals on the chorus. A brilliant song, anf fantastic collaboration.
@nadine Mar 2022
This is straight punk into your face. I must say, that these lyrics work so well with this style. The chorus is cool, especially the background vocals.
@elesimo Mar 2022
Really amazing collab, love the lyrics, the vocals, and the production is solid! And what a cool concept to write a song to. So good!
@kahlo2013 Mar 2022
Oh wow! This is great! I love the lyrics - quirky and fun with great rhymes and wonderful hook! And the the music is brilliant with the driving guitars, buzzy bass, and huge delivery on the chorus! What a fabulous song!!!!
@oswlek Mar 2022
Sweet! Such a great stylistic match. Those harmonies on the "ahhhh"
in the chorus are to die for.
I know it's not usual procedure around here, but I have a couple suggestions for post-FAWM polish if you don't mind.
First, I think it's worth seeing how the song sounds if you drop the "escalation" and "gratification" lines. They are perfectly fine on the page, but I have the feeling if you jump immediately to "sticky fingers" after "temptation" the train will retain more of its momentum and the chorus will have more impact.
Second, I would consider having the chorus lyric laid out like this:
Sticky fingers
I'm a kleptomaniac
Sticky fingers
My aphrodisiac
Sticky fingers
I'm a kleptomaniac
If you are going to use "kleptomaniac" twice, I think it would be more effective if it closed the circle, so to speak, rather than simply repeated in consecutive couplets.
I hope it's understood that I make these suggestions not as a criticism but because I like the song as much as I do. Great job all around!
@wolveerie Mar 2022
loving that Jack White-esque garage rock sound <3
love the harmonies. Nice work! :)
@jayjay Mar 2022
Oh, I love this. Rock with punk attitude.
Really love the lyrics. Nice write on a interesting subject.
@leakyplusme2 Mar 2022
Glad you found the time to collaborate with someone Tuesday.
@edward9thstreet Feb 2022
Awesome theme and edgy lyric. And wow, what a chorus. "Sticks" right to you, Killer collab to both of you!
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
This made me laugh several times. I'm glad I didn't read ahead and didn't connect the dots from the title. I thought it was going to be some compulsive shopper song :D Great lyric and an excellent treatment for it! Sounds amazing! Great work you two!
