tigerx Dinosaur Bones

Day 03

too much time in the car = too much solitary thinking! Comments (3)

tigerx: Lyrics: Upon coming to Los Angeles I found some basic meaning In the way the palm trees Bow towards the sun Then on my first grey day in town I watched them as they straightened out their trunks And then I was on the highway Attempting to amend my metaphor And I remembered how you used to tease me Of imposing narrative On things with no meaning And as I said It was a cloudy day And I was lonesome and very Heavy And I was making up for the slouching That all the palm trees were protesting What is the meaning of this feeling What kind of substance could form this? Such mass, such insistence Standing in line at the gas station Fill my car with dinosaur bones Buy a snack of dinosaur bones The palm trees lean towards the sun But they stand up, straight-backed When there is none How do they do when there is none? What sees them through when there is none? INSTRUMENTAL What is the meaning of this feeling What kind of substance could form this? Such mass, such insistence Standing in line at the grocery store Leaning dejected on a rolling cornucopia Reading the rags and judging The palm trees lean towards the sun But they stand up, straight-backed When there is none How do they do when there is none? What sees them through when there is none?

Buddha: Nice lyrics! I'm thinking the palm trees are a metaphor for your emotional state.

Stinečka: Very good

tigerx What Is Going to Happen on Downton Abbey Tonight?

Day 05

Written in my anticipation for the Downton Abbey Season 4 premiere last night. This song may have some spoilers about Season Three but no spoilers of last night's episode. (This is my song for yesterday. Didn't have computer access--recorded this on my iphone but couldn't figure out how to upload it to the site via the phone, so here it is a day late.) Comments (1)

tigerx Hell Vortex

Day 06

memories get distorted in the hell vortex Comments (4)

clairechenette: AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

tigerx: Lyrics: Hell vortex... Memories of light, so warm on your back, comfort in your mind, so unsurpassed, a channel of light is found inside you, running naked through a deer through the woods, Hell Vortex, Her pupils: endless black holes taking over crude nasty river fucking hell vortex...Memories of light, so warm on your back, well in your mind comfort unsurpassed, a channel inside you, running naked like a deer through the woods, Hell vortex there's no end to it!

Zunk: FUCKING AWESOME.

Mystery Man: Fucking Hellacious. More Please.

tigerx When I Loved the Salesman

Day 07

Wasnt sure what to write next in the song so i just stopped ha. I'm tired already and it's only day 7! Comments (2)

tigerx: When I loved the salesman He showed me everything that was right The appropriate constellation To gaze at on a romantic night When I loved the salesman Everyday appeared in style The new and improved model The 3 month risk-free trial Selling Kenmore washers in the Sears basement Selling cashmere sweaters to reluctant sons He could sell a BMW to the Mercedes President A gallon of strawberries by the angle at which he held just one When I loved the salesman He pointed out the best in things When I loved the salesman I was sold on the joy in me

Stinečka: I love your songs!! Couldn't comment for a few days, but they're so great!

tigerx Jersey Shore

Day 08

reverb city on this one Comments (7)

tigerx: Lyricz: Last year, on this date I was floored with disbelief At the wonder of our planet The Jersey boardwalk and beach Your face appeared more beautiful Than what I had seen before How can I blame me? I wanted you I wanted it all I wanted more Can’t hang onnnnnnn to anything The dreams that I had were colors in my mind A palette of potential But the form hard to find Then I swear on the beach I heard the tide speak You can try, but you can’t compete with me Can’t hang onto anything Can’t hang onto anything Can’t hang onto anything Noooooooo You should have known that I was a rookie When I bought that fried oreo cookie My flights of fancy always seem to land me Crashing down In the wrong town!!!! Can’t hang onnnnnnnnn to anything Can’t hang onnnnnnnnn to anything Can’t hang onto anything, etc.

salperta: oh so beautiful! so touching, right there with you girl, man you are killing it. Got a little Joni Mitchell in you I think. also rookie+cookie=best rhyme ever. so good.

clairechenette: Pop genius, especially when you rhyme rookie with oreo cookie!!! Damn!

Rufus: The harmonies on 'boardwalk' and 'form' got me.

Buddha: feels like I'm dreaming when I hear your voice

tigerx: **blushes** thank you, yall r too sweet

Zunk: Very well-versed on the topic, and a very cool track.

tigerx Pot of Soup

Day 11

Every time I talk to you it's like adding another spice to a pot of soup that was done a good while ago Oh you know I hate to call it quits Oh you know I want to work on it Though in my heart I know there's too many spices in the n the mix All my attempts for recompense Are just making things WEIRD!

tigerx Smooth Stone Cool Stream

Day 28

oops! my upload didn't work yesterday, here is the song for real this time. Comments (3)

tigerx: Many times I have petitioned heaven To release me And let me be A smooth stone In a cool stream To release me And let me be a smooth stone that doesn’t want anything Yet as I wish I watch the atoms surrounding me Tumbling into their desired form All drawn smoothly in accord With what their charge wants So what does a smooth stone In a cool stream want? Maybe to have legs and to have eyes And to taste the clear water That polishes its sides Waking this morning with my hand in an empty bag of gummi bears With no memory of pleasure, satisfaction, or how my hand got there This morning, I was made aware What the subconscious wants, it will be getting Better heed it, it wont be forgetting Many times I have petitioned heaven To release me And let me be A smooth smooth To release me And let me be a smooth stone that doesn’t want anything Yet as I convince I watch the atoms surrounding me Tumbling into mass and form All drawn smoothly in accord With what their charge wants So what does a smooth stone In a cool stream want?

Claire: tigerx strikes again!!! beautiful!

Rufus: sweeet.

tigerx Time For Thanksgiving

Day 29

Comments (3)

tigerx: This is a time for thanksgiving This is a time for reflection This is a time to end all misgiving At seeing your own mother’s eyes In your own reflection woooaaaaahhhh In the mirror in her room There is a space For a face Like the one that belongs to you If what rises towards you Is a terrible fish When will you come to believe that you a gift? The midnight hour’s seeping through This fish will such your face till it’s blue Remember the koi in the pond? By the red wooden bridge? You were just a kid You stuck your finger in To disrupt the uncomfortable encounter with your face on the surface of the water Lalalalalaalala This is a time for thanksgiving A time for your own resurrection A time to go boldly forth wearing your mother’s eyes And suit up with Their inherent protection woooaaahhhhh In every mirror in every room There is a space For a face Like the one that belongs to you If what rises towards you Is a terrible fish When will you come to believe that you are a gift? Night’s going to push it’s way on through You’ve got to change the things you do Do you have bread for them???????????????

tigerx OrcEagle Hound

Day 30

This is a theme song for a superhero who is part orca whale, part eagle, and part hound. This gives her the strongest sight, smell, and hearing, and ability to move any way through any elememt. Comments (8)

tigerx: Orceagle Hound She’s an orca, she can swim through the sea Orceagle Hound She’s an eagle, she can fly through the breeze Orceagle Hound She’s a hound, she can smell everything Owooooooooooooo She can do anything She can do anything Orceagle Hound No one knows from whence she came Orceagle Hound Legend has it she was hatched from an egg Orceagle Hound Never had a mother to hold her tight Owoooooooooooo She had to tuck herself in at night She had to tuck herself in at night Bridge If you’ve got a problem It’s common sense to call her She can run and she can fly And she can glide through the water Orceagle Hound She’ll never falter Orceagle Hound She’ll never falter

Rufus: this rules.

salperta: i'd watch that show. I mean when is it on?

salperta: I wonder what Stork Beagle Ground(hog) can do.

jakeselectronicmail: Pork Weavil Floun(der)

tigerx: omg, stork beagle groundhog is probably her sidekick who is in the mafia and deals with the illegal stuff, since she can burrow underground. I'm glad you brought that up, because I didn't realize that OrcEagle hound cannot actually go everywhere. She does not have burrowing skills! Def need some characters with burrowing power. Will have to figure out what Pork Weavil Flounder can do, too.

tigerx: Pork Weevil Flounder infiltrates US agribusiness by going in undercover as a pig for slaughter but then transforms into weevil form destroys all the crops until monsanto has to negotiate a reasonable truce.

Wally: Can't wait for the first season!
