Dirty
Liner Notes
“Dirty” - #fawm 50/90 2024 song 16
These lyrics are fresh from last week, and they came together in an unexpected way. First, I had to pull the ”shivers of sharks” line out of another song, where it wasn’t working. I transferred it to a blank document and let it sit, and for some reason it reminded me of someone I knew in college who was pretty cute but always smelled dirty. I know from their roommate that they took regular showers, no shaming here. And they still got plenty of action. So I wrote a song from the viewpoint of someone madly attracted to a dirty-in-more-ways-than-one (in this case) guy.
Not a typical song for me but very fun to set to music and sing. There might be a little construction noise in the background.

Lyrics
Hands like that, I’d let them touch me
Mind like that, well, thoughts are free
Somebody told you you were good
You do the things I never would
But I want to, like I want you
Sometimes I wonder how you
Stay so dirty all the time
Send shivers of sharks swimming
Down the sea that is my spine
You’re awful, impossible, mine
Don’t want to want to, oh, but I do, cause
I’m awful, impossible, dirty like you
Lie in bed, I find I’m thinking
How your growl feels like you’re winking
How if you said that I was yours
I’d be a motor, boy, I’d purr
It’s down to you, too bad it’s true
CHORUS
Go ahead, devastate, turn on the charm
I’d keep it simple, just me on your arm
Scrub it with soap, still layers of filth
I’m hoping that, one day, we will
CHORUS

Down the sea that is my spine' -- that's inspired! Enjoy your 5090
Maybe you'll start a trend. Maybe I should write my own... Loved the "shivers of sharks" line, by the way. ❤️
