A little rock, a little pop. The string parts enforce the tension that grows between she and he and their audience over time. The dream of being a performing musician loses its luster and the performance quiets down to accommodate an audience that would rather talk than listen.
lyrics
She was a singer in a rock n’ roll band
He played guitar
Heavy metal laser light
Screaming lyrics at the night
Leather flash and purple tights
Ev’ry night the punks would fight
They kept the beat and banged the gong
The children laughed and sang along
And she’d say
I don’t wanna wake you
It would only shake you up
It wasn’t long before she tired of the dream
He played the horn
Sexy sax mean and clean
Ev’ry note made the scene
Purple shirts and Levi jeans
Ev’ry night the girls would scream
They kept the beat right or wrong
The children danced and sang along
And she’d say
I don’t wanna wake you
It would only shake you up
He couldn’t fake couldn’t take it on the road
He played alone
One night gigs of comedy
Acoustic strings and harmony
Mellow nights and melody
Wasted on the memory
He kept the beat the best he could
But no one heard or understood
And he’d say
