I watched Juno yesterday, and I loved the soundtrack. So, I decided to write my own anti-folk song. Here ya go XD
~~~~~~

Oh, ring the church bell once for wit
and twice for memories,
of hopscotch without chalk
and a sting without a bee,
Remember me?


And when I talk about the cool kids
I am talking about goats
and other things like
when a devil in the belfry sheds its skin,
and upon a leather ottoman it rests its moccasins.
Oh, red eyed, and yawning, it rests it moccasins.

*chorus*

And when I talk about disaster
I am talking about hugs
spent on a doorstep in
the west, one million miles above
all the awkward mailmen delivering love.
Oh, dog-chased, blue-faced they deliver love.

*Chorus*

And when I said that I loved you
I meant that I was bored
and no more, because If
I can be frank (Hi frank!)
love's a chore;
comparable to naming a whore.
Oh, what's-its-name, that little whore.

Oh, ring the church bell once for wit
and twice for remembering
that ocean made of sand,
and this song without a key
Remember me,
Remember me?


*short instrumental*

And when I sing this song,
that pretends to be about love,
I laugh just because it's really a devil
dressed like a dove.
And, whenever it rains he looks up.
Oh, wherever it rains, he's looking up.
And upon a leather ottoman it rests it's moccasins,
oh, two-toed and worn-down they're made of sin.
Two-toed and red-eyed this is sin.
The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life — and one is as good as the other.

this is lovely! beautifully cynical at parts and funny in others. it flows well and i just love the whole thing - it also sounds very like something which might have been featured in juno, so if that was your goal then i'd say you've achieved it.

i would quote you a particular piece i liked, but i'd just be quoting the whole thing :]

gooood work.
sometimes you are the windshield...and sometimes you are the bug. that's just the way the cookie crumbles, so go take a long walk off a short plank.

hahaha :D

This was...interesting. I liked the flow. It was a bit odd though. that's just my opinion. XD

The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices; to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicions can destroy. A thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own.
