The Only Direction (East)

I've been on a roll lately. I just finished my fourth parody. This one is distinct. You see, its serious. And its written somewhat cryptically. Thats intentional. You see, its one of my worst moments and one of my best rolled into one song. Its about the fact that both the good and the bad times I go through are all pointed in the same direction. East. Towards the sun. Or the Son. If you catch my meaning.

Yeah...Im a complicated fellow. Anyway, enjoy Track 4 on Never Judge a Cover Band By Its Booking Agent. "The Only Direction (East)" a parody of "The Only Exception" by Paramore.


The Only Direction (East)



Early this morning

I saw the yellow sun rise

From the east again

A new day to start

As I watched and grinned directly at it



Its quarter past four

But morning’s too bright to sleep through it

And today is the day that I promised

I’d never fall in love

If it’s not with my Meg



But, Dear East, you are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction



Maybe I’ve felt somewhere

An ache in my soul

That I finish last

Sit here all night and wait

Don’t leave me alone

In a purely sad state



And it never seemed like this

When you were a comfortable distance

It was just now, I have chosen myself

That I’ll stand up and embrace this

Because you are more than worth the risk



Well, you are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction



I’ve got a close stare that’s facing east

But I can’t forget that behind me is fear

I don’t feel lonely in the morning when I wake up

Left me the heart I knew exactly what you meant by it



You are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction

You are the only direction

And I’m on my way out east

Will you join me out east?
