Nuts at the Office
Skirmish: Nuts (@lyricslinger)Liner Notes
#acousticrock
At the end of an ordinary day, with nuts as the theme of the skirmish. I tried to keep it simple.
Lyrics
We had your birthday party without you
And then there was one more mistake
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake
Nuts at the office
Nuts at the office
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake
Too much action and not enough thought
Blame it on office automation
But the cake is all I have to show for it
How does something like this happen
Nuts at the office
Nuts at the office
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake
It’s good to remember what really matters
The way the world is today
I really don’t know what to say
We had your birthday party without you
And then there was one more mistake
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake
Nuts at the office
Nuts at the office
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake
Comments
And all I brought home was the cake', could be read two ways. It could be the literal sense of leaving a packet of nuts, or a judgement on your office colleagues!
"And all I brought home was the cake" feels like it must be a popular saying, like "have your cake and eat it too" meets "and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
