As promised yesterday, another Uber tune that I quickly recorded this past Saturday.
For once, the lyrics for this one aren't mine or Orgasmatron's - Merlina wrote them about a year and a half ago: http://www.ubersite.com/m/67052. And I promised her earlier this year that I'd get it recorded someday.
What's that? Someday never comes, you say? Pshaw. Someday IS here.
Thereby, for your lovin' goodness...I recorded the vocals and bass guitar, and tracked the guitars and percussion from the "Hell Freezes Over" album. (I'll be arsed if I'm going to even ATTEMPT to faithfully reproduce the hallmark sound of the Eagles on those instruments!)
I'm outta here after today for the rest of the week on vacation...enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At a desk in the city, toying with his hair
Just the thought of working drives him to despair
He clicks up on Uber, a little glimmer of light
Although he'd promised the doctor
It's an urge he would fight
As he scanned through the front page
Seeing who'd been an arse (he thought)
"Will it be Shlongy today or could it maybe be Snark?
And what's this on Most Heated? Is it one of mine?
OH my GOD get me off here!
I am losing my mind..."
Welcome back to Uber, you're addicted
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the site that Bart called Uber
Any time of year, we'll be waiting here
His mind is now truly twisted, he's going 'round the bend
There's all these people he's never met
And he's calling them 'friend'
How they laugh and they mock him, of his moans and his weight
These people are joking, it's their job to berate
So he called up the Captain,
"Please ban them all the ones," (he cried)
"It's my life they are ruining - Uber used to be fun!"
And still those voices are coming from far away
Rapping on his windows
He can hear them say...
Welcome back to Uber, you're addicted
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the site that Bart called Uber
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
(gentle)
Padded room, padded ceiling
The nurse now sadly smiles (and she says)
"We are all just people who like to share our lives..."
He realises it's Soley, not a nurse at all!
And as the door slams closed,
He lies in tears on the floor
Last thing he remembers, he was
Escaping out the door
To get back to Uber, to the place it was before
"Relax," said the voices,
"You know, all your posts - they'll receive;
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!"
(guitar solo, fade out)

I like that these recent songs have had a strong depressing element to them.
Kind of appropriate in a way.

Good, but you need more players....like sicosemen, for instance.
