Silly Songs with Neil
OK, this may be approaching the bottom of the barrel, but here is a product of a period of time when I was a rather too eager Ebay user (buyer not seller) and was also trying to write some song lyrics. I don't even know which of my imaginary bands could even record this masterwork. My friend Jeremy did actually make some music for this, but, alas, we have been too busy to get into the studio. You know, touring and all that.
Ebayland
Verse 1
IÕm clicking through this online store
IÕve got all I need but I want more
A CD burner would be nice
If the bidding stops at a decent price
But I canÕt wait. Hey, I know how
IÕll shell out my clams with Buy it Now.
Now Paypal, heÕs a friend of mine
He cuts the crazy waiting time
I used to wait while checks would clear
So, ship it now! I want it here!
Chorus
Yeah, IÕm living large in Ebayland
Now, there ainÕt no milk and honey
But who needs that when deals are good
And you can always borrow money.
Verse 2
I need some Reeboks in size eight.
So I can lose a lot of weight
Some super-metabolic-burner
So I can be a head turner.
But better still, I have a plan
More suited to an online man
I know they say that True Love Waits,
But if I just could bid on a mate
SheÕd be here soon, IÕve got Paypal
And I could wed my Ebay Gal.
Chorus
Verse 3
Now IÕm only joking. No, really
An Ebay bride? ThatÕs just silly.
But I can still renew my quest
Get more stuff to make life the best
You know my cable modemÕs smokinÕ
So I wonÕt ever be left out hopinÕ
I coulda, shoulda won the bid
Beaten by some technokid.
And if I am, well, what the hey!
There more stuff listed everyday
Chorus
Verse 4
ItÕs crazy, though, with all this stuff.
YouÕd think that I would have enough.
To fill this empty gaping hole
That is the center of my soul.
But with each new delivery truck
Its never closer to being filled up
And Paypal could not ever store
The price to make the payment for
The Thing to fill its odd-Shaped space.
And Ebay cannot list His grace.
Second Chorus
So get me out of Ebayland.
I want some milk and honey
The deal you make to me is good.
And, I canÕt touch it with my money.
