"At The Library" a Hook original for RemoteFest

[Hook]

After the flat tire this song came...it's self explanatory. Also done using my phone & garageband at the Library on the side walk on the right side of the building.

 

At The Library

written & performed by Hook

I'm at the library
Named after John F Germany
Inside they'll have a check for me
For a gig I did yesterday
Yesterday they did not pay
Which is unusual I should say
The gig I did yesterday
Was at another library much farther away

I've always felt secure
I could count on the libraries check for sure
But yesterday they did not pay
So in downtown Tampa I sit and wait

At the library
Named after John F Germany
 Next to a sign that says
no loitering
Because of urban decay
People's homes and lives taken away
No ones  encouraged to stay
Outside this magnificent library

At the library
Named after John F Germany
I didn't think I would be
Arriving so early
My contact be here till two
And I had other things planned to do
A flat tire and a micro spare
Has limited the mileage my car wear

I've always felt secure
I could count on the libraries check for sure
But yesterday they did not pay
And that's left me unable to pay for the tire I need to truly be on my way

So Im at the Library
Named after John F Germany
Inside will be a check for me
For a gig I did yesterday

Another Hooktastic song for RemoteFest. I hope you got your cheque and you're not still driving around on the donut.

[Geir]

Even better than the flat tire !! (I've had both on repeat for some minutes now )

I'm a fan !!

Loiter on ('til you get the check )

[Hook]

I did get my check, & I am still on the donut. I must have hit a curb real hard and bent the rim to an unfixable state. I've ordered one from a junkyard (the dealership wanted $900 for just the rim) but it won't be here till Monday. I have gigs today that I have  to get to & tomorrow my wife is off work till Tuesday so I'll use her car. All that just for a song . Thanks for listening!
Rock On!

I commented earlier and it got deleted - not so smart phone (or possibly not so smart user, ho-hum).
Listened in the garden with Mrs B, and its a masterful delivery. You should do an album of these, these are killer. I love the little autobiographical stories in song form. It sound like you had a pretty miserable day but it produced two brilliant songs. More please (but not the bad day to go with it!) 

Autobiographification on!

This is great, keep telling what happens during the day. Great idea.

[Satchwood]

Cool lyrics and nifty rhyme and alliteration!!

[Oldrottenhead]

absolutely love it, put a smile on my face, for sure.

There's a concept album in that.  A series of seemingly little events over the course of a day with an underlying and developing sinister thread.   Kind of like that film Falling Down.

Nice vingnette of a song.  I like that you can hear your frustration bubbling under in your voice.

Good work.

I listened to this last week and now this feels even better!! Loved the beautiful melody! Nice live take feel on this and well written lyric! Brilliant!
