i heard a song
i didn't like
but the radio
wasn’t on
i heard a song
i didn't like
it wasn’t on the tele
it was all in my head
i heard a song
i didn't like
playing somewhere
between my ears, behind my eyes
i heard a song
i didn't like
above beside and beyond
all the other noises
i heard a song
i didn't like
echo through my head
oblivious to any choice of thought i made
i heard a song
i didn't like
i could not make it stop
it was not answerable to me
i heard a song
i didn't like
and it’s been going on
for days and days and days
it wasn't the whole song
it was two different parts
over and over and over again
a bit of the chorus
the start of the solo
and then when i thought
it wasn't
it was
and then when i thought
it stopped
it didn't
on and on and on...
i like Van Halen
don't get me wrong
but not Sammy Hagar
and not this fuckin song
i try to think of another tune
and still i get ear reamed by Dreams
i get it, yeah i know what they're made of
but that won't abate the inevitable screams
it’s on a whiny endless loop real
a relentless drill bit in my brain
biting hair skin flesh and bone
yet numbed from any pain
i don't know how to make it stop
i don t know who to tell
i have no quiet left inside
groundhog day guitar solo hell
this particular piece of top 40 cherry arse
is starting to make me squirm
not even My Sharona on that sweet red vinyl
could rid me of this ear worm
