LoL (Labor of Love)

from Terror Eyes by Nyentek

/

lyrics

Some say I’m obsessed
Spend half the day not dressed
When most are asleep my guitar goes cheep
‘Cause I’ve got to be the best
Look at how I practice
All alone like a cactus
But guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

Ever since I was born
Silence I would mourn
‘Cause music’s in my veins
I go to very great pains
So listen to me play
It should brighten your day!
And guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

Give me that old timey religion
Rather feed a pigeon
‘Cause music is my creed
And what scales I am freed
So opon up your years
And listen right heres
Guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

Back in ancient times
Even before my rhymes
People who damaged instruments
Would slowly lose their minds
Music is real special
You can be so special
Guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

You come and ask me
How it came to be
That in such a busy world
I do feel myself free
With music I am me
And that is a party
Guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

Fiddle on the chair
You had best prepare
Rosin that bow and tune the strings
‘Cause I am almost there
Look – all around
Listen – to that sound!
And guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

I own lots of books
I take many looks
I’ve eaten from many cooks
I like to hear good tunes
But not when played by crooks
Hey, guess what!

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

Driving a small car
Won’t get you very far
When your vehicle needs to be
The vessel for your guitar
So think economically
What will carry me?
Now, guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

Playing in standard tuning
Is just like bush pruning
It’s good to do when you need to play
But it isn’t always interesting and newning
So try some different chords
I promise you won’t get boreds!
Yo – guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

Characters welcome here
As long as you don’t disappear
So put down your throne and get out your new sticks
And play a new beat you can call your own
Try living in the grand palace
Of music – here there’s no malice!
Guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

Who has attention span
For music with unusual form
That is why my song does
Struggle to fit in the norm
As you crank up your speakers
You can untie your sneakers
Guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

I must compliment you
For making it here through and through
This is so fun, but we’re almost done
This has been great, but it’s getting late
I gotta fly, please don’t you cry
Let’s try again, maybe in ten
Ahoy – guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)

Well, would you look at that...
I nearly dropped my hat
When I say this you mustn’t miss
Now please don’t curse or you’d be remiss
This is the final verse
Verse
Wowzers – guess what...

Practice is a labor of love (LoL!)
