Liner Notes

More #funk. This one is a response challenge song that is written as a reply to—of all things—"If You Can't Stand The Heat", a song by that most cheesy of 80s pop groups, Buck's Fizz.

My muse has finally decided to put the hours in, it seems: the lyrics to this one popped into my head at 2 am this morning. This is why I keep a pen and notebook by my bed, folks.

Lyrics

Modern life's a game and we all know how it's played:
When it gives you lemons, you make lemonade
If life starts throwing eggs as well, don't sit there and sigh
Fire up the oven and bake lemon meringue pie

Don't sit and stew for another hour
Don't get ranty and rave-y
Heat up that juice with a bit of flour
And make yourself some gravy

You gotta stand the heat
And deal with the friction
If you want to keep cookin'
You stay in the kitchen

You need to keep all of your plates spinning faster and faster
When you know that to walk away is a recipe for disaster

Just one thing separates the chefs from fools:
If you want to cook well, you need good tools
But if you don't have a kitchen, here's what you do:
Just start a fire, and have a barbecue
