Left Off My Next Album

Verse
Hadn't written for a while
All my chops were rusty
All the words that I laid out
Came off a little dusty

Chords were wacky from the start
Melody was tuneless
That's when I soon realized
That everything was hopeless

Chorus
Left off my next album
Couldn't bear to hear
That it wasn't up to snuff
Too hard on the ear

Left off my next album
Fans would have to wait
If there isn't any better
That could be my fate

Verse
So I penned a second tune
Maybe it was better
Hoped I'd followed all the rules
Strictly to the letter

But the words did not make sense
Didn't call for action
They said it was all nonsense
It just had no traction

Chorus
Left off my next album
Now strike number two
If I write another dud
I will soon be through

Left off my next album
Well cannot be dry
If I can't get going
Might break down and cry

Bridge
Gathered up some music friends
Laid out a new jam
Hope the means support the end
Find out who I am

Verse
Captured everything we wrote
Really got it going
When I rocked, I rocked the boat
Soon was overflowing

All the friends did split the scene
Couldn't keep the rhythm
Found that I had been cut clean
Could not sing it with 'em

Chorus
Left off my next album
Didn't sing a word
Erased all the vocal tracks
Now they're never heard

Left off my next album
Didn't sing a note
Lotsa tracks, but got no thanks
No is all she wrote
