Little Miss Piggy

It's a working title, not sure what to name it, but it's a song of desperation.

The 'Miss Piggy' reference is to her kindergarten graduation ceremony where the class sang 'Rainbow Connection' with a Muppets theme. She was chosen to play Miss Piggy and a boy she liked was Kermit The Frog. It was an awesome show, and I still remember it. She had curls in her hair, which mom did the night before. We have it on home video somewhere but it's probably lost over the years.

She still uses 'Miss Piggy' for some online references and something on her computer. No, she's not fat :) But like Miss Piggy, she is cute. (stay away boys, i'll kick your asses!) She's in a rough situation in life, with which I disagree but she'll never truly admit. She knows it's rough and I hope she can choose to get out of it and move here to RTP and live an awesome life. So this is dedicated to, and for, my dear sister, whom I love so much and want to have a better life.

Denver

Here's a new one for my recent trip to Denver where I had the most best vacation trip EVER! This is called 'Denver'.
There is a slight rhytm change for the intro/outro and the verses. As typical, this one has no real chorus. Oh well.

This is played a bit fast in the vein of R.E.M.'s ITEOTWAWKIAIFF. And the last lyric in the 3rd verse is a blatant rip-off and slightly retooled lyric from Don't Go Back To Rockville. Hey, if I'm gonna steal, might as well steal something worth having :)

Amy is Chinese-born; raised in Brisbane, Australia; I met in an lay-over in Charlotte on my way to Denver; we ate dinner at a Japanese/hibachi place run by a Korean family; with small paintings on the wall of scenes in Brisbane, Australia which included one ACROSS THE RIVER where she lived!; who took a leap of faith and let me drive her to the place she was staying; who I spent the WHOLE WEEK with; who i introduced to Jeff; who is half-Vietnamese; and is my best friend from high school; who is in the Navy; stationed in Hawaii; sent to Denver for a training class.

So you can imagine the massive force of the universe focused in this one spot. We had an *INCREDIBLE* week together (and brief times apart). Amy and I got lost in downtown Denver while searching for her place, which is when we got hungry for food and we agreed on a place immediately! Which is when we ran into the japanese place. That place was nearly-literally a "hole in the wall" shack. 4 booths, 5 bar stools and about 20 feet wide and 40 feet long. A little trashy, but FANTASTIC food!

I will never forget that trip. I still reflect on it, and it was such a happy week.

c, c/f, g

land in a plane in town the first day
met amy in a charlotte overlay

i will drive and she will guide
as we try to navigate

dinnertime, surprise 'ni hao'
brisbane, australia her home town

downtown denver was such fun
even after every turn

i know it may sound cliche
but we won't forget this day

d, e, f#, g (sound ok?) --or--
d, e, c, e, f#, g (eh?)

jeff and i drive south today
see strange shapes along the way

climb pike's peak up where it's cold
let's just hope the hummer holds

twist and turn as we face our fears
every cliff is just a sheer

as we drive we reminisce
think of all the things we miss

i know it may sound cliche
but we won't forget this day

d, e, f#, g (sound ok?) --or--
d, e, c, e, f#, g (eh?)

go to the park and play in the snow
flying high and laying low

climb red rocks look up look down
look down on the towns below

time to eat, let's ride around
beau jos was the best in town

go to the station to wait for the bus
amy's going home, that's far enough

i know it may sound cliche
but we won't forget this day

d, e, f#, g (sound ok?) --or--
d, e, c, e, f#, g (eh?)


on the last day we relax
jeff and i don't wanna go back

but we know that we'll be fine
hold on to the sands of time

i know it may sound cliche
but we won't forget these days

i know it may sound cliche
but we won't forget these days

i know it may sound cliche
but we won't forget these days
