Self-help Love (w/ voices of Stephen)

I tried to do a Valentine's Day song. Honest. But i'm not sure it came out right.

The world's a funny place so i do understand if this is not fit for the festival submission. I submit to the decisions of the jury. I shall raise no stink.

Anyway here's a little ditty that's NSFW (depending on where you work).

Elvis had Jordanaires, The Temptations. I had the voices of erm... Steph... anie? Maybe get that water checked? Thanks for the help!

SELF-HELP LOVE

V1
My brother was a nutter
From a different mother
Didn't really know how to read, or write

Came a Piston Pie
Told a dirty lie
Livin' and lovin'
Means giving your freedom away

CH:
No mouths to feed
easy to clean
Self-help love
is all you need

V2
Mah sister had a twisted leg
She took it to her bed
Kept the men well satisfied

Once had a diamond ring
Got lost in a bad fling
Got stuck where the sun don't shine

Shot down in a one time thing
Still hurts my
dingaling
...
I'm occupied

CH:
No mouths to feed
easy to clean
Self-help love
is all you need

no dates tonight
I'm occupied
Self-help love
Is all you need

Your philosophical side is showing – and I know you try to hide it. My vote counts for nothing, but I vote Yes! Put it in the Valentines Day Fest!

This pushes many good buttons: X (the band, not the fascist social media platform), Divine Horsemen, and an obscure song called "TV God" by Dana Lyons.

But it's none of those.

St. Valentines Day classic and great for the fest. Not the usual soppy lovey-dovey slush that Valentine's Day presents, more a punkish love song, especially with Yoko singing away in the background. Joking apart, very tastefully produced and arranged.

nice rocking track especially for valentines day if you're a punk rocker.
