teetervillestation Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 i am constantly trying to come up with lyrics for new songs to play with Dieseldog - we have tried all kinds of 'creativity inducing' methods - some succesful and some not... I was thinking that a collective jambands.ca effort might produce something interesting? so I will post a first line and then anybody who wants can add a line, hopefully this works, and the band can write music to it and play it live!...ok here goes: when the circus came to town, nobody saw it coming...

Phred Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 When the circus came to town, Nobody saw it coming... Carved my name up on a tree Scratched mine out right in front of me.... And so I shouted to a clown Los Lobos, you ain't... The circus turned around And started heading straight towards me. So I climbed a tree, and had a really good pee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseldoug Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Teet, Start again with no circus reference. PEOPLE No JOKES PLEASE!!! This could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 the only reason it kinda went the wrong direction was the lyrics to start it, resembled 'circus comes to town' by los lobos. not the best way to start a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teetervillestation Posted February 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 well the opening line could be, when the big show came to town nobody saw it coming... (and take out that Los Lobos line, i dont think it was intended!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 And for that matter, take out the lines Carved my name up on a tree and Scratched mine out right in front of me.... (They're lyrics in that Los Lobos song) Okay, okay focus When the big show came to town nobody saw it coming... It came and went and no one cared no fan-fare, no lights, no drumming Fack, I dunno....

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 oh christ hasn't this gone to hell... i'm just biased towards any song that mentions a circus...makes me cringe. Try 'big top' or 'tent city' or anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
