Liner Notes

#funny #folk #poppunk #needsmusic #needscollab

Read a bio on here, can’t remember who… Ugh,…where they said they initially thought "deep" (paraphrasing :-) ) songs had to be serious/dour and happy songs were fluff... I had left a message on their page that they inspired me to take on the challenge and it started well enough and then took a comedic turn this morning and here it is! LoL! There's been no edits and the person/perspective I/you - has to be worked out - don't want to be preachy - LoL!

This is one of those where I just like the sounds of how the words read :-)

Lyrics

Intro
Hangin’ in the shallow end
Of this desperation
Both my feet are stuck in muck
And hate this gross sensation

C
Just a little sweetener, is
The neat treat that you need… Annnnd
Be the baker, your own cake maker
baking, the cake king of happiness
Be the cake king of happiness

V I
A better batter, in the bay
Better in your bowl
Happiness can be disguised
But it’s always in your soul

Find the deepest happiness
Sweeten it with joys
Won’t float the boats of desperation
On a rising tide of toys

C
Just a little sweetener, is
The neat treat that you need… Annnnd
Be the baker, your own cake maker
baking, the cake king of happiness
Be the cake king of happiness

V II
Anchored in a bay of bliss
Skip wants I’m told I need
Planting satisfaction…
That will be crowding out the weeds

Don’t believe I’ve missed the boat
And I’m driving myself insane
Walking through the darkest tunnel
Hope that light aint’ the next train

C
Just a little sweetener, is
The neat treat that you need… Annnnd
Be the baker, your own cake maker
baking, the cake king of happiness
Be the cake king of happiness

V III
Like a layer cake of crap
Kept drilling till I tapped
Frosted layer of happiness
And just kept eating that!

Your’s might be reversed
And the frosting is the worst
Then scrape away the shit
And your left with it… (happy, hap, hap, happy… hap, hap, happy… happiness)

Bridge
Find it in Marianna
Find it on the bench
In the deepest darkest waters
Of the 7 mile trench

Find it on my stoop
As I step into the morn
Find it in my ratty jeans
paint stained, thread bare and a-torn

Find it in the low end
Of my 200 dollar bass
Dumped the fun of a 4001
For amore 4 string Spanish taste

C
Just a little sweetener, could just be the neat treatener
The neat sweet treat that you need… Annnnd … (happy, hap, hap, happy… hap, hap, happy… happiness)
Be the baker, your own cake maker
baking, the cake king of happiness… (happy, hap, hap, happy… hap, hap, happy… happiness)
Be the cake king of happiness
Be the cake king of happiness
Be the cake king of happiness
