Liner Notes

This has just not been my year at all for FAWMing. But, oh well...we all have busy lives.

My go to at karaoke is "With or Without You" because I love having everyone shout along when Bono lets loose on those "whoa"s. This was my attempt to create the same type thing. Stick around for the sing along and then request this song the next time you're at karaoke!

Big thanks to my wife for her vocal talents.

Lyrics

Fancy meeting you here again
The scene of the crime
Just as we left it
No need to swab or dust for prints

Your honor, I will now point at the culprit
Sitting over there
Or in the mirror right here?
Couldn't quite make it out
Before they fled and disappeared

You can take it out on me
But don't take it out on me
Don't Take it out on me
Take it out on me

They're gonna throw the book at us
Locked up and key thrown away
We ask each other to lay it on
And forget we're not the enemy

I wanna enter a plea
Go easy on me
Somewhere with outside time
In the sunshine
And minimum security

You can take it out on me
But don't take it out on me
Don't take it out on me
Take it out on me

Don't take it
Don't take it
Don't take it out on me

godDAMN that's a killer riff to open! Power pop perfection. This is absolutely great - the chorus is a great singalong, it's ludicrously catchy and it's expertly produced. I have to admit that after the description I was hoping for some big "whoa"s at the end but it rules regardless.
