I know I posted this before, but since I have some sort of writers block,
and a deep desire to be needed, I'm reposting it in the hopes that this
time, I get reviewed. (I know, I'm a review whore. What are you going to
do about it?)
Broke into a flutist's locker
This is what I used to play
Loosened keys, loosened morals
Loosened pads and loosened teeth
This is what I used to play
Why did you get a small case?
Why is the flute so lightweight?
Why isn't there a law that says instruments must weigh more?
This is what I used to play
Why do you get a trill key?
Why do you get the melody?
These things used to be mine
I guess they are, I want them back
Broke into a flutist's locker
Merely 3 steps from my own
Crowded bandroom, crowd of band kids
And they say that 3's a crowd
This is what I used to play
Why did you get this instrument?
Why did you get it to shine?
Why did I have to break in, this flute used to be mine
This is what I used to play
How is the tuning on the field?
How is it sounding this year?
I held down all the keys and loosened the screws just for fun
I know I don't play this anymore
I have a new section of a sort
They're all right and their tuning's not that bad
I'm happy there
But this is what I used to play
Broke into a flutist's locker
Threw the music on the floor
Only memories, fading memories
Mixing with the valve oil
I want them back
