from FAWM 2014 by ZeCoop

about

The first song I've ever written on the ukulele!! My FAWM friend Ms. Mongoose from New Zealand (theodamus in FAWM) took the song to new heights and added *wonderful* lyrics and vocals... Wow. :)

lyrics

Sit and watch the rain on the window
Looks like it goes right out to sea
It's not as if there's anywhere to go
Ain't no place that I gotta be

Sometimes I pretend I'm an artist
To excuse the state of my sleeves
Sounds better when they ask me at parties
What you do not what you believe

It's not that I'll never be anyone
It's just that I've never been anyone
But hey, it's like they say, we are still young
So kid, what'll it be?

Sit and watch the travelers come and go
Playing catch with places they been
Maybe one of them's got an hour or so but it's
Better not to ask what it means

Sometimes I pretend I'm a meteor
Burning out my course in the sky
But don't think about it as much anymore
Just a catch in the corner of my eye

It's not that I'll never be anyone
it's just that I've never been anyone
But hey, it's like they say, we are still young
Kid, what'll it be?

One day I'll just go and tell you so and I'll know everything I hope I'm not too slow coz if I don't I won't have anything to show for all this time in limbo waiting for the rocks I throw to hit something to notice me to know I won't grow up already old

Sit and call my friends on the telephone
Everybody's busy today
Coz everyone's got stuff of their own to do and they're
Busy moving up and away

Sometimes I pretend I'm a billionaire
And think of all the places I'd go
And all the people I'd never talk to
And all the times I'd just stay at home

It's not that I'll never be anyone
it's just that I've never been anyone
But hey, it's like they say we are still young
Kid, what'll it be?

Okay I'll just go and tell you so and I'll know everything I know I'm not too slow coz if I don't I won't have anything to show for all this time in limbo waiting for the rocks I throw to hit something to notice me to know I won't grow up already old

Maybe I'll just go and tell you so and I'll know everything I know I'm not too slow coz if I don't I won't have anything to show for all this time in limbo waiting for the rocks I throw to hit something to notice me to know I won't grow up already old

Sit and watch the rain on the window
Looks like it goes right out to sea
It's not as if there's anywhere to go
Kid, what'll it be?

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
