Here’re Rajeev’s words for two new TAAQ songs, both doing rather well in the road-test polls at the moment…

Ordinary Affair

Some folks never get hitched
Some get a few along the way
Some find too many
Just can’t seem to give it away, away

Some stay married forever
And hate every minute they’re in
Some lose the love of their lives
Before their lives begin

Love life,
No strife
Seems so rare
All smiles,
High fives
Just an ordinary affair

Some men want taken women
And the mistress never gets her man
Married men envy bachelor boys
Footloose and free

Some pick the best from the worst
And stay with the one who cares
Soon the best can’t be told from the worst
And yours is an ordinary affair

Love life
No strife
Seems so rare
All smiles,
High fives
Just an ordinary affair

Sold

Everything’s on sale sale sale
His language, his choice, his belief, his voice
It’s all for sale sale sale
His work, his play and how he wishes to pray
It’s up for sale sale sale

His point of view and line of sight
His childhood dreams his copyrights
Everything’s on sale sale sale

Keep your eye on the ball son
You are now in the entertainment run
Every shelf on every space
Must have a picture of your face

They can have a slice of your pie
At the cost of one eye
Or have the whole cake and lollypop too
Buy one and we’ll give them two

Now he’s got no body and soul
Digging deeper down that hole
No Family friends or foes
And the stores they’re all closed
Everything’s sold, sold

Keep your eye on the ball son
You are now in the entertainment run
Every shelf in every space
Must have a picture of your face

Pluck out their eyeballs now
And fix them on your walls
Get her, get him, get them, get everyone
Blindly into your store

Everything was on sale sale sale
His language, his choice, his belief, his voice
Was up for sale, sale, sale
His work, his play and how he wished to pray
Was on sale, sale sale sale
And now the stores, they’re all closed
Everything’s sold.
