Less Of You

Info
I did this song on a Sunday as a break from working on a song for Loyalty Day (one of my other bands at the time). I used some lyrics posted by SongFighter HeuristicsInc in the lyrics mart thread. Since I didn't have a lot of time to work on it, I cranked out a fairly by-the-numbers Weezer-y rock tune, with a little analog keyboard tossed in there to make it minimally more interesting. I got a piddly 3 votes. Not a very dignified way to wrap things before my unexpected two year hiatus!

Lyrics

Lunkhead version: 

ya know we all see it
but we're not supposed to say
so it's time to admit
just how much you weigh

yeah i'm here to help you
if ya wanna lose those pounds
let's just decide what to do
let's get that scale down

chorus
you know i'd like to see
a lot less of you
if you want it i'll be
the guy that you can come to

low carbs is the craze
that everyone's tryin'
look around you'll be amazed
at how many diets are vyin'

for your money and time
with their microwave entrees
if you give me your dimes
you'll be thinner in days

chorus

bridge
you've got south beach and atkins
e-diets and good old starvation
by the time you're done getting thinner
you're gonna need a long vacation

i lost 20 pounds
just from counting my points
let's make you a lot less round
no, i will not disappoint

chorus

Etc.
Electric guitars, vocals, bass, programmed drums, and a little Roland SH-101.

Original lyrics by Heuristics Inc.:

ya know we've all seen it
but we're not supposed to say
so it's time to admit
just how much you weigh

yeah i'm here to help you
if ya wanna lose the pounds
let's decide just what to do
let's get that scale down

ya know i'd like to see
a lot less of you
if you want it i'll be
the guy you can come to

low carbs is the craze
that everybody's tryin
if ya looked you'd be amazed
how many diet plans are vyin

for your money and time
"buy our microwave entrees!"
if ya give _me_ some dimes
you'll be thinner in days

ya know i'd like to see
a lot less of you
if you want it i'll be
the guy you can come to

your weight loss is my goal
if you give me a week or two
if you let me take control
we'll be seeing less of you

ya got south beach, atkins
ediets, good old starvation
when you're done getting thin
you'll need a vacation

i lost 20 pounds
just counting all my points
let's make you lots less round
i will not disappoint!

ya know you'd like to see
a lot less of you
if you want it i'll be
the guy you can come to
