Liner Notes:

Q: HUH! THIS IS POSTED HOURS AFTER EVERYONE ELSE! YOU DIDN'T SKIRMISH THAT!

A: Actually, I went for tea as the 45 minute mark hit, and then watched Hustle afterwards, hence the long wait. Actually, I may have spent a little more than an hour, as I tweaked a bit too much in recording etc. But anyway, here it is.

Lyrics:

You are so far behind,
You let the minutes slip,
You said that you were resigned,
To let the poles shift

But please,
But please, don't give up,
Its time,
Its time, time to catch up.

Run, run along,
You're going to be late.
Make sure to keep strong,
Don't get in that state.

And please,
And please, don't give up,
Its time,
Its time, time to catch up.

[Instrumental verse]

Sing another song,
Give it a cheery tune.
Though I know you belong,
To a dark afternoon.

And please,
And please, don't give up,
Its time,
Its time, time to catch up.

You are so far behind,
You let the minutes slip,
You said that you were resigned,
To let the poles shift

But please,
But please, don't give up,
Its time,
Its time, time to catch up.

  ps-no disclaimer necessary: i'm not gonna accuse you of not skirmishing this!! i initiated the silly thing and i still haven't posted my tune! i worked it all out in the allotted time, but then kept stumbling over myself and couldn't get a clean recording...gonna re-record and post when the apartment is quiet later today!

  can't listen to the demo right now (i'm studying in a crowded starbucks), but if the tune is as great as the lyrics, you can't go wrong! i really love message and the rhythm of the lyrics--i'm listening as soon as i get home!!

  Nice work for a skirmish! I like the little riff in the chorus.

  Reminds me of an uptempo Eliott Smith, very good song, and atmosphere.
