Liner Notes

#girlwithpiano #badsongclub

This week's BSC prompt was "Ordinary." I wasn't sure what I was going to write about when I pulled it, but as soon as I sat down at the piano it all just started happening. Spent wayyyyy too much time wrestling with it in Logic but sometimes that's how it goes.

Lyrics

Isn’t it just so ordinary
Isn’t it just so ordinary
Garden variety, nothing worth note
It’s a bird in the hand, it’s a frog in the throat, oh
Isn’t it just so ordinary

Inevitably, something’s gonna have to change
It’s the rodeo, the range, the mode, the mean
Don’t listen to me, I’m just saying what I see
Everything I’ve said is everything I’ve seen

Isn’t it just so ordinary
Isn’t it just so ordinary
Garden variety, nothing worth note
It’s two birds and a stone, it’s a hole in the boat
Isn’t it just so ordinary

Reason and rhyme, it’s a tale as old as time
Take something beautiful and slime it up for headlines
Predictable and plain, the remarkable human brain
But no one knows for certain what’s lurking in the confines

But don’t you go thinking that it’s over
Don’t you go thinking that it’s over now
It’s the same story, every word, already heard
Over and over and over

Isn’t it just so ordinary
Isn’t it just so ordinary
Garden variety, house is on fire
Every shepherd a crook, every leader a liar
Isn’t it just so ordinary
