Entry from I Don't Want An Answer To That in Nur Ein VIII.
Incorporate a Songfight title meaningfully in the lyrics.
Title: I don't want an answer to that (the question I never asked)
Challenge: Used song fight title 'A Conversation' in the lyrics and lyrics composed conversationally
hello how's it going
i'm fine, yourself?
did you have a good weekend?
I sure did, how about you?
well i read a book about this theory
that the universe is going to expand and contract
and grow and shrink back
and cycle forever on and on and on and on and on
and on and on and on and on and on
I THINK I GET THE PICTURE
on and on and on...
i don't want to know
i don't want to care
i don't want to hear what you have to share
this used to be a conversation
and now it's just regurgitation
you told it to me once
you told it to me twice
you told it to me backwards and clockwise
write it down instead
or keep in your head
pretend that i'm dead
hey can i borrow a pencil
yes you may, it's quite a utensil
did you know it's made from graphite
well not quite
because some of it's wood
well yeah obviously that's assumed
i don't like assuming cause sometimes it comes off as rude
and actually most pencils these days are plastic
and it keeps going on and on and on and on
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER THE QUESTION
on and on and on and on
i don't want to know
i don't want to care
i don't want to hear what you have to share
this used to be a conversation
now i need a vacation
you told it to me once
you told it to me twice
you told it to me backwards and clockwise
write it down instead
or keep in your head
pretend that i'm dead
i appreciate the thoroughness
of the answer that I never missed
to the question that i never asked
my tolerance is going fast
we could continue splitting hairs
but this time I think I'm going to take the stairs
cause listening is far too hard
for my tiny brain
i'm just not as smart as you
(...yeah we'll go with that)
i don't want to know
i don't want to care
i don't want to hear what you have to share
this used to be a conversation
what is this, your dissertation?
you told it to me once
you told it to me twice
you told it to me backwards and clockwise
write it down instead
or keep in your head
it's better off unsaid
I dig this. I can appreciate the lyrics, I should stop boring people with science facts (but learning is fun!). I like the sardonic lyrical delivery and then when the chorus kicks in the song really goes into overdrive. The backing vocals are very shiny. Your line about the pencil reminded me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L6Dpq5kY_A
I like your songs when you're in snark mode. I think my favorite of yours is "Sorry to Inform You," for reference. I was giggling during the whole second verse, "Well, not quite graphite, because some of it's wood." That was great. The mix is perfect. I can see how the disaffected vocals would be offputting to some, but I think they're a good fit for this material. Great job!
