This song is a deliberate (tongue-in-cheek) attempt at a pastiche of The Smiths. I wrote in about 3 minutes flat for my own amusement, and recorded it right off the bat. I’ll add the stems etc. And I’ll paste the lyrics (such as they are) below:

WHICH WAY TO TURN?
WHICH WAY TO LOOK?
YOU WILL NEVER LEARN
I AM AN OPEN BOOK
IN WHICH ALL IS PLAIN
IF NOT RATHER SAD
NOTICE I DID NOT COMPLAIN
WHEN YOU HINTED THAT I’M MAD (AND OH…)
*
CHORUS

I’LL NOT BE LONELY
YOU’RE MY ONE AND ONLY CHANCE
TO BREAK AWAY FROM ALL THE THINGS
THAT EVER HELD ME BACK
IN THIS TOWN WHERE WE SURVIVE
BARELY ALIVE I SAY
LET’S RUN AWAY AND LIVE
TO FIGHT ANOTHER BLUE DAY …
*
ONCE UPON A BONNY TIME
WE SHARED AN EVENING RARE
LAGER AND LIME
SAW US LATE BACK FROM THE FAIR …
NOW YOU’VE GONE TO GROUND
HIDING YOUR SHAME
BUT I DEMAND MY POUND OF FLESH
ALL THE SAME …
*
CHORUS

I’LL NOT BE LONELY
YOU’RE MY ONE AND ONLY CHANCE
TO BREAK AWAY FROM ALL THE TOUGHS
THAT TRIED TO STAB ME IN THE BACK
IN THIS TOWN WHERE I WAS BORN
PALE AND FORLORN I SAY
LET’S RUN AWAY AND LIVE
TO FIGHT ANOTHER BLUE DAY …
*
WHICH WAY TO TURN?
WHICH WAY TO LOOK?
YOU WILL NEVER LEARN
I AM AN OPEN BOOK
IN WHICH ALL IS PLAIN
IF NOT RATHER SAD
AND YOU ARE ALMOST SANE
FOR AN UNDERGRAD …
