I spat in the punchbowl today

Liner Notes
I don't know where I was going with this, I had an ear worm. But its loosely based on Ricky Nelson's Garden Party
Lyrics
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends a chance to share old memories and try to make amends
A few drinks down at the party No one knew my name, no one recognized me, You didn't look the same
But its, alright now this may not end well You see I, spat in the punchbowl today and I think I'm goin' to hell
little cups on the table so carefully arranged, nasturtiums floating in pink and I'm a bit deranged
if you see your X at the party the smell of deceit is in the air you can show how much you care, by spitting in there....
But its, alright now this may not end well You see I, spat in the punchbowl today and I think I'm goin' to hell
people gasped from miles around they didn't know what to do I ran out the back gate the neighbor's yard I cut through
When I got to the corner I turned to my surprise they were comin' at me with anger in their eyes
But its, alright now this may not end well You see I, spat in the punchbowl today and I think I'm goin' to hell

cool lyrics! i'd love to know what kind of sound you were envisioning, if any? 😁
Hah! This made me smile (I am not above having petty fantasies of this level, lol)
I expected the gesture to be covert, I like that you took it to "Everybody saw and they began to chase me down."
