Lullaby Afternoon

As I write this, it's getting close to the afternoon slump when the whole of Spain take a nap, when the teacher's voice becomes a soporific drone and when I've almost inappropriately dropped off to sleep while teaching someone the C chord.

At the moment, the heater fan is whirring, the traffic has got lazier and a miner bird's whistle punctuates a lull in the afternoon. Song 5, "Lullaby Afternoon", is a quiet song written at 2.40pm on Wednesday 4th July.

If you notice, even this blog entry has a little afternoon laziness about it.


CHORDS: Another song that repeats a 4 chord pattern through the song.

LYRICS:
The neighbours home
I'd like to sleep
Play quietly
She won't hear a peep outta me

She's whistling
A cheerful song
Calls her cat
In a voice all honey seeded mustard warm

In our lullaby afternoon
Our lullaby afternoon

It's 20 to 3
Can I lay on the chair
And watch T.V
Or just sit and stare at the fishtank

Listen to Nth Richmond
The calls of native birds
And quiet housebound people
Who don't like to disturb the neighbours


In our lullaby afternoon
Our lullaby afternoon

RECORDING:

TOMORROW'S SONG IS ABOUT EATING DISORDERS - I WAS HUNGRY!
