Liner Notes

#skirmish A skirmish, didn't have time to get the timing right on the too-fast-as-per-usual lyrics. But given time, I'd fit in the syllables correctly, if it will ever be played again. Thanks for the challenge, @troubadette!

Lyrics

Stay out of the red zone

no parking in the red zone no matter what she says get off your damn cell phone don't care how important it is we got rules here they're clear you deaf can't you hear read the sign you blind is this your first time to visit the great nation of lines and awaiting and departures arrivals and some cancellations cut in front at the gate matter of survival sit at the front group 1 2 or the liars pretend they don't know what group they're not calling just walk in the front and keep la la loling stare at your phone this your second home just act like all innocent like it's second grade again at the lunchline the sloppy joes can't wait i need some french fries thrown em on my plate what?! I ain't in first class must be some mistake I'm really important must have my take boarding a plane's a competive sport just not any fun anymore to visit the airport

Stay out of the tower less you got work to do Looks like it's a bad day i picked to stop sniffing glue once I made a hat with some old newspaper always take the stairs don't need elevator to get to the top gets my blood all a pumping to keep all the planes and the baggage a jumping i pay attention close in spite of the stress no little boy or girl in a dress is gonna go down while i'm on the job gonna keep the planes a flying watch ove em close like god

roger and oveur and ted striker too nobody gonna tell elaine what to do

speaking of her let's all say a prayer for the TSA who is always there working again without getting paid dealing with the jerks and jokes they all made about what they don't have hidden here in their bag man what a job what a pain what a drag I give em my respect and a courteous nod even though I'm the traveling sort just not fun anymore to visit the airport

This reminds me of Joel Plaskett, especially how he rants in his songs. This song is so fun and cool. A keeper to be sure!

Oh man, this totally feels improvised but you're rhyming and also telling a cohesive song. Really fun stuff, glad I listened! Love the spoken "announcement" outro

Captured the stress of flying almost too well. Great track! I loved the sloppy joe line and couldn’t help but think of lunch lady land.

This is SO GOOD. The guitar and the stream-of-consciousness style lyrics absolutely work so well together, and the whole thing just captures the frustration of airports - while also being a catchy wee banger to boot!

I REALLY like the rhyme of must be a mistake and must have my take - brilliantly done. Thanks for taking part in my skirmish!

Wow! I love all the rhymes. You really capture the frenetic pace of the airport. And the reference to Airplane! made me laugh. Nice work!
