My Little Songbook

Composers like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart etc. wrote a lot of great music, right?
But back in their days, they and other, and lesser known musicians, of course didn't "get their music out on vinyl", or digital, or, essentially, any other form of physical or non-physical music that is common today.
Works were written down on music sheets, and that's the way we still have access to their music and can still listen to it today.

I want to get a bit back to these old methods; so instead of actually producing a real, existing track, that's a .wav file and could be released in various formats - why not just write my music down?
And, as I'm not good at music notation or writing sheet music, I decided to just write down the songs as - pure text - and "release" them in this way.

You will see that the four songs here are slightly inspired by songs that are well known and have been out in the wide world for a while now. The theme of this release is religion and belief, the god, devil, heaven, hell, do you understand, finally?
And, it should not be taken exactly serious.


So here it is! My first music release in purely textual format.

Low Entropy - My Little Songbook

Texts:


1. What If

If Satan had a secret name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, Satan is great
Yeah, yeah, Satan is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if Satan was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?

If Satan had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like hell and in Beelzebub and the devils
And all the demons?

And yeah, yeah, Satan is great
Yeah, yeah, Satan is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if Satan was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?

Just tryin' to make his way home
Back down to hell all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe in Rome

And yeah, yeah, Satan is great
Yeah, yeah, Satan is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

What if Satan was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?

Just tryin' to make his way home
Like a cursed rolling stone?
Back down to hell all alone
Just tryin' to make his way home

Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome


2. Sexual Jesus

Reach out, touch faith

Your own sexual Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own sexual Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out, touch faith
Reach out, touch faith

Your own sexual Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own sexual Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out, touch faith

Your own sexual Jesus

Reach out, touch faith
Reach out, touch faith
Reach out, touch faith
(Reach out, reach out)
Reach out, touch faith
Reach out and touch faith


3. Fucking Demons Instead

I sit and wait
Does a demon contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their dark wings unfold

So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm fucking demons instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me

I'm fucking demons instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look below

And I know I'll always be blessed with lust
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead

I'm fucking demons instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me

I'm fucking demons instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm fucking demons instead


4. Sympathy for the Lord

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a god of might and grace
I've been around for a long, long years
Give million man's a soul an faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a god of might and grace
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Jehova
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politnesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah

Aah yeah

Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?
I tell you one time, you're to blame

What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?
