Default Poor George! (the slurming slug)

I had to compress it to under 1MB so it's a bit crackle and pop and over bassy, and the guitar sounds horrible. but u'll get the jist.

George the slurming slug and Derek the scuttling cattarpillar.mp3

it's on "yousendit" so get it before it expires!

Maybe this should really be in "Your Lyrics" but i suppose that if i upload the song i can break away from that and get my own thread for people to notice... yay!

I wrote the song from a few ideas i had, and i just reccorded myself making up the words and the guitar. It is verry damn fresh -

it's called Larvae, here are the words... incase u want to sing along



LARVAE

My Name is George
And I am a slug
and I
Slurm accross the floor

And i have a friend
and his name is derek
and he is a catarpillar
and he crawls and scuttles accross the floor with me

Me and George
are the bestest of friends - (i mean derek)
and me and DEREK we eat lots of food
and we get fat

[break]

Derek goes up trees
and he eats lots of leaves
and i slurm accross the floor
and i eat the cabages from next door

Derek Gets so fat fatty fat
a BIG FAT catarpillar
And I get so fat fatty fat
a BIG Fat Fatty slug.

[break]

Derek's got another friend
and her name is suzie
and she is another scuttly catarpillar

Derek and suzie
go up trees
to eat their leaves
and i slurm to next door
and i eat some lovely cabages and i get
fat

and derek get fat
suzie gets fat
and i get fat
and suzie gets fat
and i get fat
and derek gets fat

and hmmm
and hmmm

now derek and suzie
have been up the tree
a rather long time

Its been a couple of days and
i've been eating 2 cabages
and they ain't come back

[break]

I dont know where they've got to
i haven't seen them in so long
I miss them they're my friends
and i'm so lonely

I saw two lumps, hanging from the tree
So I thought maybe that's derek and suzie

Oh maybe they died, i hope they didn't
cause they're my friends
I hope they didn't die cause they are

my friends

I've been eating cabages alone
And i'm getting a verry fatty fat
a verry fatty fatty fatty slug
slurming accross the floor

Now i feel so fat,
There's a salty taste in my mouth
I wonder what it is, and where they could be

Now i'm a tired, tired, tired slug
I don't slurm much any more
It isn't a slimy floor
anymore

I'm slowing down, I'm slowing down
My breathing
cause slugs breath you know

And my heart beats geting slower
Because slugs have hearts you know
And they can be broken you know

I'm just a little slug
and i think that i'm dying
what's that above my head, i think it's a foot

and STAMP!!!

it hit me on the head
maybe it's the end

i'm fading but in the corner of my eye
two colourful things they fly into the sky
it could be derek and suzie cause now they're butterflies.

How come you had to compress it?

Yeah your right, it does sound like Kurt a little! I think its your voice, and how it sounds! The erm... Deepness of it, and the 'groaning'!!

In the song, some lyrics dont match the lyrics you wrote down there lol!!

I could imagine you sitting to a class of children, with your gee-tar and singing this to them lol! Maybe this should be the video!!

"Oh maybe they died, i hope they didn't
cause they're my friends
I hope they didn't die cause they are

my friends"

That bit reminded me of Anthony and The Johnsons lol!

When it finished it went straight in to Pearl Jams Version of "Crazy Mary". And it fitted quite good!!

I like it!!

ah cool fool you're a jool!

i had to compress it because yousendit has a 1mb limmit, and also because i'm on rubishy dial-up.

hahaha! the last bit was rushed because i was reccording it on cubase and just gave myself an amount of time, and made it up during that time, but i wanted to finish my last lines in a couple of secconds, so i had to rush lol.

dno if that should go on, but i'm making a cd pretty soon

Mr Penguin Boy, I've got my broadband up, so if you want some of those early Kurt Demos, let me know how to go about getting them to you? Msn would be my favourite way if you use it.
