I had a houseguest this week who had a rough Friday night. I hadn't written the song by Saturday afternoon (which gives me tummy pains; I like to at least have some lyrics by Thursday or Friday to feel comfortable about my weekend.) but my houseguest was in need of a little attention. So, instead of shutting him, I listened to the woes of his weekend and wrote a song for him, from his point of view.
He talked, I listened (and jotted down choice lines), I went into my room, he finished his bottle of Jameson - this is at 2pm - and I wrote the song out of his rantings. The whole experience was kind of neat. (Hopefully, for both of us.)

lyrics
this bottle was full when i bought it at 9am
and now i can see through it
the time is 10am where are you?
you left with a man who slides through the door
and into the nite are you wanting more?
does he know who you are?
if there's anything that bothers me it's who you chose after me
and if anyone could let you down before he even makes a sound
it's who
you chose
after me
you can't talk yourself out of the way that you feel,
so what can i do, what can i say?
where do i go from here?
if there's anything that bothers me.....
LOLLLLLLLLLLlllllllllllllllll
You should do a rock version, because this sounds sad and I was more disgusted than anything. Plus we were laughing while doing this if I remember correct.
