the Outsider

[sgs4u]

Can y'all have a listen, and throw me some darts. My objectivity is now moot. I need some feedback. Mix, lyrics, instruments, anything. I'll fix the stringy thingy that somehow made it's way into the opening bar, soon I promise. 1st song on my broadjam page. lyrics by CouchGrouch!http://www.broadjam.com/steveagilbertThe OutsiderI saw her in ragged yard sale clothesGlasses resting on a freckled noseBrown hair pulled back with bent up bobbie pinsSittin’ ‘neath a tree before my classWith her best friends by her on the grassRobinson Crusoe and Huckleberry FinnShe was writing in a tattered binderWhile the other kids played tag behind herShe sits alone on the short school busReads alot but barely gets a C-PlusShe’s got no one to help or guide herEats lunch with her old headphones onLost in a fog of dreams and songOut of sight, out of mind, the outsiderNo one said “hi” to her in the hallShe sat in the back against the wallglad to hide her old shoes beneath her deskShe looked out the window once or twiceInto pictures of another lifePainted by a heart full of lonelinessOne by one my class read their assignmentsWhile she bit her nails in nervous silenceShe sits alone on the short school busSometimes the driver forgets to pick her upShe’s got no one to help or guide herEats lunch with her old headphones onLost in a fog of dreams and songOut of sight, out of mind, the outsiderShe walked up slowly to the head of the classDropped her binder and everybody laughedThe paper shook as she read her scribbled poemAbout an orphan child, in a foster homeHer pen spilled her pain out into the lightMy tears were the first to see the soul inside She sits alone on the short school busReads alot but barely gets a C-PlusShe’s got no one to help or guide herEats lunch with her old headphones onLost in a fog of dreams and songOut of sight, out of mind, the outsider©2007 Robert George & Steve Soucy
