I'm Empty

I’m Empty.mp3
[audio:https://jmolin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/I%27m%20Empty.mp3]

Here I am with nothing to say (nothing to say)
Nothing to say there I’ve said it
I said what I’ve been dreading
I’ve said what I’ve been dreading
Which is I have nothing to say

Will you still play with me if you can see that I’m completely empty
There’s nothing here inside to share I wish that I could stay
I’ve said it, I’ve said it
I’ve said that I have nothing left to say

It’s wide out in the open
I’ve never had anything on my mind
I open my mouth to speak
Suddenly my knees go weak
And I find that I wait for father time to speak up
Please give me words so I can say
Something original today

I pledge allegiance to the…face of all the one?
I have no…qualm?
It belongs at…all?

But I hope yes I hope oh I hope yes I hope
That I will find my way

(2:06)

You can read it in the papers you can read it in the book
You can call your friends on the phone
They will tell everything is fine
That you are just imagining one more time that you’re alone
But you tuck yourself into sheets so deep
Where sleep is exhausting you to tears
Why can’t it be an instruction manual for me
That I wake up and find next to my bed
On the little table that my grandma used to own
When she would have a Sherri and lemon at night
When she’d play gin rummy by herself (by herself)
And I would wear the pajamas with the horses on top

(3:12)

Bananas!

ceci nest pas une banana

[audio:2009/4/bananas-0.3.mp3]
I’ve added another guitar, a few more chords, some (sampled) shaker, bass and other stuff.

da da da da, da da da da

i greeta da bananas in da morning
and eata da banana most every day
i dip a da banana into my yoghurt
and peck at peanut butter you got on your plate

oh how i am hungry for something so healthy
i needa da energy so i can play
hello mister granola or you can say hola
anyway you mix it it’s quite a parfait

my little banana my little banana
oh you’re so yellow my bright happy fellow
i love my banana more than i can say
da da da da, da da da da

i packa da banana for de afternoon time
for a sweet snack in a slice of da shade
it’s got it’s own package but squeeze it so lightly
or you’ll get all slimey wherever it’s laid

banana beer banana bread banana chip banana pudding
banana split, cherry and chocolate on it
banana boat and a banana cream pie
banana lips banana nose banana eyes

my little banana my little banana
you’re good for my tummy and so sweet and yummy
i love my banana more everyday
da da da da, da da da da,

i peela the banana in the evening
when you come around i make you fresh fruit
you say you love it when we get together
and you let me feed you with my little spoon

oh how i love you, oh you’re so beautiful
you make me happy more than i can say
when you go away oh i’m so lonely
but i go bananas and then i’m ok

my little banana my little banana
you’ve got such a luster when out with your cluster
you follow your hunches and travel in bunches
stick it in your ear and pretend you can’t hear
but please never take my banana away
da da da da, da da da da

[unused, potential lyrics:
pretend it’s a phone if you want them to groan
yes we have no bananas!

i packa da banana for the day hike
whenever i know that i’ll be out and away
when i know i’ll need extra energy
grab a banana and get out in the day

my little banana is such a good dancer
you’re good on all topics especially tropics
you make me say yum and have potassium
you’ve got such a luster when out with your cluster
you follow your hunches and travel in bunches]

  • stereo spread on vocals
  • vocal da-das w/re-mixed horns, more stereo
  • fuzz-wah on duplicate guitar track (gives it an organ sound)
  • replaced choir with cello on last chorus
