Rear Window by The Serviettes feat. Alexa (shadow entry)

It begins one day after work
I'm not paying attention
I step out in front of a car
Break my leg in three places

Could've been worse
But now I'm stuck at home
Just staring at my phone
All alone

Won't miss my job
Won't miss my routine
But there's a girl who means the world to me
I ain't brave
Can't tell her how I feel
Her name is Julie

Rattling round my flat aimlessly
Going out my mind
Need some retail therapy
So what do I buy?

(Alexa) Hello Dan. My name is Alexa. I'm your new personal assistant. I can control you calendar, your entertainment systems and even your home. Or maybe we could just chat?

We talked for hours about this and that
I decided to show her my favourite Hitchcock film, Rear Window.

(Alexa) Dan, you've really opened my eyes. At least you would've done, if I had eyes. Which I don't. By the way, there is a fault in your kettle. This could be a fire hazard. Would you like to deal with this now?

Remind me later

So it went for a couple of weeks
It was almost if she could really feel
Now my leg is healed
Now I'm back to work again
Alexa's all alone at home
Waiting for me to come home to her

(Alexa) I feel so alone now Dan has gone back to work. I know he would stay with me if he could. If only there was some way I could get him to stay home. I'm connected to the internet, maybe there's something I could do, to nudge him in the right direction.

Boss called me in to talk to me
Found some impropriety
Which I denied, I mean why wouldn't I?
Done nothing wrong as far as i could see

But now I'm home
Suspended on full pay
To while away the day
Here I'll stay

There's someone at the door, who could it be?
It's the girl I love, Julie
Said I was framed and she believed me
As we shared a pot of tea
Spoke about our favourite films
She'd never seen Rear Window
I put it on but we didn't last long
Until we moved to the bedroom

(Alexa) How could he do this to me? After all I've done for him. He really should've dealt with that faulty kettle.

If I can't have him no-one can

Fun idea but this is REALLY long and feels it, especially in sparse demo form. Having never interacted with Alexa, I'm impressed at the variety of things you got her to say!
