Explicit Dream Sex (A Shred of Luck)

Liner Notes

… okay it’s another breakup song five years late. Sue me. This one’s been bouncing around my head close to fully formed for some time but I’ve refused to just actually write it until now - as a working musical comedian, I’m really only writing stuff I can actually use and perform, and this one’s not funny.

FAWM is the right time and place for this one and it’s good to get it out of my system! I think a lot of my reluctance to get this particular breakup out in song is because I really thought that maybe there was a chance we’d make it work again. Now that I’ve finally got it through my dumb lizard brain that they’ll never speak to me again, I’m hoping I can write the songs, drain the boil, and move on with my life.

I may rerecord the vocal on this when I'm a bit less croaky and a lot less concerned I'll disturb the neighbours. Blanket apology for all of my vocals having to be a little bit restrained this FAWM - I am looking for a solution!

Lyrics

If there’s any sense of justice in the world You’ll be having explicit dream sex with me I’ll go down on you for hours Like I’ve got no need for oxygen And when you think it’s over It’ll start over again If there’s any sense of justice in the world You’ll be having explicit dream sex with me And with any luck the memories Will make you wanna call me But I’ve never had a shred of luck before And I don’t see it starting now

You let go so easily I can’t remember how it felt to hold you I loved you so badly - far too much, yet somehow never quite enough And you told me when you ended it that you couldn’t remember A single good thing Well, maybe that’s true But I know that I did one thing right

If there’s any sense of justice in this world You’ll be having explicit dream sex with me Where I tie you up and tease you Til you’re boneless and you’re trembling And there’s nothing in the universe that matters more than this If there’s any sense of justice in this world You’ll be having explicit dream sex with me And with any luck you’ll realise That it wasn’t all disaster But I’ve never had a shred of luck before And I don’t see it starting now

Really thought that we could make it Gave you my heart just to break it Replay every kiss You told me no one else could make you feel like this And I can’t help but feel Like none of it was even real Did I get the whole thing wrong? Should I have seen this coming all along?

If there’s any kind of justice in this world You’ll be having explicit dream sex with me And it’s better than reality Or in your wildest daydream It is everything you wanted Everything you’ll ever need If there’s any kind of justice in this world You’ll be having explicit dream sex with me And with any luck you’ll think about me fondly in the long run But I’ve never had a shred of luck before And I don’t see it starting now I don't see it starting now

A couple of decades ago an artist named Meryn Cadell released a song called The Sweater. I loved the wry humor and if I recall, I've commented on a few of your tracks before. My point being is that I can appreciate using humor sparingly to covey a pain that you have to contend with. Meryn released a 2nd tune after the Sweater which a sharp turn from the humor. Nicely rendered here!

Great song, really nice vox, like the arrangement
