Meet Mike My Bodyguard

Liner Notes

This was, again, a dream. I apparently can't write songs unless I'm asleep.

Taking guesses for which Mike I'm talking about šŸ˜Ž (Clue: the character is named "Mike" in a popular TV Show) #altrock #fun

Lyrics

It started with Selena in my room stealing from my record table She pulled a gun on me, must’ve been a pirated vinyl But aiming it at me, I wonder what I’ve done This might be the end for me, all ā€˜cause I liked her song

But then Mike runs in Mike runs in He grabs her but now someone else is grabbing me He jumps out the window with her I look down from the second story I run down the stairs and there he is, I say are you okay? He says of course I am, I’m Mike

I show him to my family And to my extended family I show him to everyone I know And I all I say is

Meet Mike, my bodyguard Meet Mike, my bodyguard Meet Mike, my bodyguard

Meet Mike, my bodyguard Meet Mike, my bodyguard Meet Mike, my bodyguard

Until I got to showing my uncle who's also name Mike, and I just said ā€œMeet my bodyguardā€ But Mike, my uncle, wanted to know more about him His background, days in the war, could he protect his girl I said you just have to trust, he doesn't very much like talking about that stuff Just trust My bodyguard All you have to do is just trust My bodyguard

And when my friends think I’m boring When my friends think I’m boring, which is a lot of the time When my friends think I’m boring When my friends think I’m boring, I show them

Meet Mike, My Bodyguard Meet Mike, My Bodyguard Meet Mike, My Bodyguard

Meet Mike, My Bodyguard Meet Mike, My Bodyguard Meet Mike, My Bodyguard

I must be interesting now if I need a bodyguard I mean I still don’t have a boyfriend but I have a bodyguard I must be interesting now if I need a bodyguard I don’t remember how I got a bodyguard, but I have a bodyguard

Can't go with you into town unless we can bring my bodyguard He carries me around like I’m his chihuahua I’m a kid on a playground when I’m with my bodyguard Piggyback rides, you know, all that fun stuff

Mike and I are sure Selena and her thieves are gone We risk going out, hiding behind the trees at dawn But the hose comes up, sprinklers, suddenly people We can't tell who's good or bad, they're asking for my signature

Do you want an autograph? I must be important Did you see that I finally Have my own bodyguard

Meet Mike, My Bodyguard Meet Mike, My Bodyguard Meet Mike, My Bodyguard

Meet Mike, My Bodyguard Meet Mike, My Bodyguard Meet Mike, My Bodyguard

This is better than the old Bodyguard movie. I see pictures. My brain generates the rest of the story like an AI on vacation. I hear great kind of retro/post punk music with a frantic attitude. If you listen to my song https://fawm.org/songs/318754 you would know that I don't watch TV. I know a few Mikes, though. No bodyguards. I prefer not to know the source of inspiration for ā€œMike.ā€

What?! This is like fever dream. Love the bass line and your chaotic spoken word. When the firts rapid fire spoken word came in I had to go Wait, what? and rewind. Totally fell of the wagon šŸ˜€ the chorus is trademark wonderful and weird.

Fell off the wagon. That's how I'll market this one šŸ˜‚
