Liner Notes

my 7th year of FAWM and this is my first skirmish! What a rush! It pained me not to do bass or leads or anything really. Just glad I got it done. With 3 minutes to spare!

Lyrics

I'm not window shopping I've only got eyes for you no I'm not window shopping I don't want someone new

okay that one girl caught my eye she really knew how to dress but i saw you peaking too you might as well confess

but you're not window shopping you only got eyes for me no you're not window shopping and I'm the one you see

thirst trap, phone tap didn't mean to look at that scroll past, block fast hope nobody's gonna track

but she's a snack I can't pull back I'm gonna have a heart attack

I'm not window shopping I've only got eyes for you no I'm not window shopping I don't want someone new

Love it! Incredible what you can come up with in a short time with heavy restrictions. Great lyrics and energy!

Ha ha skirmish is another beast. Nice real pop song! good bones her for sure

@melodic 1w

Yay first skirmish!! I like the spin on the prompt, how you speak from both people presumably in this relationship together, the upbeat bubble gum feel, and the catchy melody.

@jacobwakeup 1w

Thanks for listening! Certainly won't be my last skirmish.

@carolga 1w

Þhese are such such such clever lyrics - I'm glad you didn't question them!

@jacobwakeup 1w

Thank you!

Tee hee! She’s a snack is a new expression to me, so fun! Immature in the best sense.

@jacobwakeup 1w

Thank you! Going to use "Immature in the best sense" in the press for my next record. I'll be sure to credit you.

I love how this switches from “I’m not” to “you’re not” and I also really dig the rhythmic bridge and “she’s a snack heart attack”. This is a really fun song and that you got it done in an hour is awesome.

@jacobwakeup 1w

Thank you! The pressure of the time helped, I just had to go with the silly ideas without questioning them.

@robinleaf 1w

Aww this is so CUTE!! 🥰 OMG that rap section took me out. Love these lyrics, love the punky vibe!

@jacobwakeup 1w

Thank you for listening! I'm still LOLing over "I'm not dead and I have eyes" - the title alone!!

@robinleaf 1w

Haha you're welcome! And I'm glad to have amused you! I thought of just titling it one half or the other of that phrase, but I decided the whole thing needed to be the title. It's something I've definitely been saying for a while.
