FAWM: "Junk Start My Heart! (I Was Waiting For You)"

Junk Start My Heart! (I Was Waiting For You)

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Y'all, I lost my voice and I can't sing a lick. But writing a song full of malaprops and "eggcorns" was so fun! Came to the skirmish a little late but made up for that by making it VERY LONG, haha. My biggest problem was autocorrect kept "fixing" my lyrics. :)

Just yesterday I read a Twitter comment where someone said "I think you're putting her too much on a pedal stool..." And there's a youtuber I like who says "Whenever" when she really means "when." I want to write three more of these.

Lyrics

V1
For all intensive purposes,
You’ve put me on a pedal stool
And, oh, in one full swoop
I fell for you

V2
I’d nip it in the butt, except
I’ve had a heart listed for sell
Supposably you love me
And I do, too

Chorus
I’ve got another think coming!
I won’t be biting my time!
Junk-start my heart
Cause it takes two to tangle!
All those old wise tales were true: 
I was waiting for you!

Bridge1
Whenever I was small
I remember having dreams
Valentimes, I didn’t care for candy
Whenever you appeared
I felt I got my just deserves
You told me that the ghost was clear
Somebody understands me

V3
Because, right from the gecko, no,
You didn’t half-fast anything
I took you at your work:
You'd never go

V4
And our world wind romance has got
My sick sense overfloating
I can see the future
Here we go...

Chorus
I’ve got another think coming!
I won’t be biting my time!
Junk-start my heart
Cause it takes two to tangle!
All those old wise tales were true: 
I was waiting for you!

Bridge2
This ol' doggy-dog world
Had made me weary of love
Everyone takes everyone for granite
With one half-hazard kiss
Our pasts were water ‘neath the fridge
Suddenly I’d found my place
In the mist of this wide planet!

Chorus
I’ve got another think coming!
I won’t be biting my time!
Junk-start my heart
Cause it takes two to tangle
All those old wise tales were true: I was waiting for you!

REPEAT CHORUS

OUTRO
In lame man’s terms, please rest to sure
Our love will always, always be
On accident, my life was changed
Whenever you loved me

Ah, if someday you could just get organeziezed, @newukenewyork , lol, then you'd really write a wordsmith-worthy lyric. Not! Quite cool is this tongue-in-cheek-like write and all, but let me thimk, what else did I want to say? Oh, yeah, gnarly how you worked Motley Crue's heart--with on-target subliminal twist--into your chorus.

@robheron1 2w

There's a lot of nice wordplay in there. Thanks!

Ha ha! I love all of the malapropisms you popped in here! Quite a fun read! Love some of those images as your love story is told!

This is brilliant ...

I love how creative you managed to be with this subject.....very very well executed.

@wildrainbow 2w

That is absolutely brilliant! Some incredible wordplay and I shall be snitching intensive purposes and two to tangle at the very least to use in conversations with people. Really love the way you did this!
