Yes, it is the hard part. So far I have made three attempts at writing lyrics with mixed success. The first song I attempted was for the second chapter of the book where Seth Morely finds out about his transfer and picks out a noser and stuff. It is called “The Morbid Chicken”. However, I’m not terribly pleased with those lyrics at all and might not keep any of them. I also wrote lyrics for the first chapter, in which Ben Tallchief gets his transfer and has some personal thoughts, and will probably call that song “Delmak-O”. The third song is called “Settlement Whore” and roughly follows the scene in chapter six where Susie Smart tries to get Morely to proposition her. Here are the lyrics I jotted down today:
settlement whore, I'm the settlement whore when I knock on your door you've got to let me in, ya let me in tell me what's your proposition? (what?) say you want to fuck me (no!) c'mon, say you want to fuck me (why?) I've got a sexual condition and I'm looking for perdition every man here has been between my legs I always win and they beg for more because I'm the settlement whore tell me what you're wishin for I know all of the positions more than your wife, I'm sure if you don't ask I'll give it to you instead I'm pretty strong and I can throw you on the bed take off my peek-n-squeeze bra we'll screw until we're both raw I saw you staring at me at dinner you know deep down you want to become a sinner now finish what you began I'll make you feel like a man like you've never felt before cuz I'm the settlement whore yes, I'm the settlement whore is that your wife that just burst in? hey if she wants she could join in wait, she looks mad and she's brandishing a vase I think she's planning to hit me in the face my mini-building will shoot her in the head and I'll laugh when she is stone cold dead hey why'd you have to pull her out of the way? you know you're totally ruining my day why are you leaving? we didn't have sex yet right now I'm gonna place a little bet you'll come begging when you realize you're wrong but until you do I'll keep on singing my song settlement whore, I'm the settlement whore you better let me in when I knock on your door settlement whore, I'm the settlement whore every man I fuck always begs for more
It’s still a little rough around the edges, but I think I worked my way to a good chorus by the last stanza. If I can keep things flowing like this I might actually finish this album inside of six months. Keep your fingers crossed, y’all.
