Meredith came up with a line (the first one) and I tried working it into a song, with mixed success - the second is obviously incomplete.
You're a sorry excuse for a muse
you're a walking salute to the blues
you're never quite there
you don't seem to care
so all I can say is "fuck you"
I called for you when I was down
I wandered alone through the town
but you just walked away
with nothing to say
you left me right here to drown
Well I've picked my way out of this mess
It's been bitter and long, I confess
and you suddenly see
what you missed out in me
But you know I just couldn't care less
You're a sorry excuse for a muse
You're a walking salute to the blues
now the tables are turned
and it's you that's been burned
Now you're finally paying your dues.
you're a sorry excuse for a muse
you're a walking salute to the blues
you're a dirge of a song
that's gone on too long
and you still haven't paid all your dues
you're the rhythm from some other song
you're the lyric that always sounds wrong
you're a beat out of a time
and a line that won't rhyme
[....]
you're a voice just a bit out of key
