not had a great deal of time for music of late, this song has bee rattling round my head for the past few days, had a spare hour so recorded a drum track using garage band, then 1 track on my jasmine electro acoustic and then two lead/duet vocals.

i have a few ideas for this one, but little time to try them out, if in the meantime this inspires anyone to throw something at it go ahead, i will get back to it at some point, expect a few lyric changes etc.
but this is where it is as of now.

it is what it is.

I slap my thighs cos you can't take my laughter
What point the truth when the facts they don't matter
To you..........to you..........
You take offence when I hold up the mirror
So I keep stum whilst you're trolling on twitter
To whom........ to whom........
Hey it's a ride it's a roller coaster
Here comes your buddy the Facebook poster
Right now..............right now
Your reinforcements they swear blind allegiance
To your every utterance with their hints at credence
Just wow............ just wow.......
The world's gone crazy we've all gone mental
From Omaha to Sacramento
Glissando differs from the portamento
Might change your mind in a generation
Maybe you'll feel the good vibrations
Somehow......... somehow
Maybe one day your eyes will open
Won't hold my breath but I'm still hoping
You'll change......you'll change
Hey it's a ride it's a roller coaster
Here comes your buddy the Facebook poster
Right now..............right now
Your reinforcements they swear blind allegiance
To your every utterance with their hints at credence
Just wow............ just wow.......
The world's gone crazy we've all gone mental
From Omaha to Sacramento
Glissando differs from the portamento
So I'm told.........so I'm told

A good 'un, James. Definitely worth pursuing... doesn't need a lot of work, I'd say. Works pretty well for me as it is, mate.

Really good raw material. This could work in lots of genres. I'm hearing in my head a scorcher at about 200 bpm; a more straight up backbeat, and other stuff...
