Two Sides of an Argument

Schadenfreude - Frankie Big Face

Waiter:
Every day you come in and you sit at my table
And flip through the menu as if you were able
To order anything but the same old dish
A BLT and the seafood bisque

Every night when I'm home I have the strangest sensation
I dream of the ways I can cause the cessation
Of your heart, your brain, your body, your soul.
Is it a fantasy or is it a goal?

And then one afternoon
I filled a tablespoon
With common household bleach
And poured it into your soup.

Customer:
Every day I come in and I sit at your table
Feeling like a frog in one of Aesop's fables
Blindly obsessed with a singular wish
To grab you and give you the biggest kiss.

So I place the same order 'cause I lack imagination
And wait for your return with rapt anticipation.
I want to be in your movie, have a starring role
But you only see me as a plate and a bowl.

I finally realized
While pulling wings off flies
That you were out of reach
And dropped one into my soup.

W: I want to kill you
C: I want to sue you.
Both: I'll get (W: my dog) (C: my lawyer)
B: To ruin you!
B: You've broken my heart for the very last time.

W: Every day I walk by and see the empty tables
C: Every night I sit home and eat boxed mashed potatoes
W: I need a new job and don't know where to look
C: I wish I could teach myself how to cook.

W. The only thing that promotes my healing
C. Is knowing that you are probably dealing
W: With mild infarction of your heart and spleen
C: With home foreclosure and a property lien

Both: If there's a God above
Show me the wisdom of
Your ways, I do beseech!
Should I maybe give up soup?

I commend you for responding to a challenge I know you didn't like with aplomb. I've never heard you tackle the Disney style before but you absolutely nail it. Well done for enlisting a guest vocalist (ah, JB, cool), and you receive honours for the sprawling arrangment. This is why the challenges are good, cos they stretch talented songwriters like yourself to your limits (of course I don't know if this is your limit but it sounds like you tried a hell of a lot harder than last round). Best song about soup ever.
