San Matean Ska


Lyrics

"Now Look What You've Done" (aka the Katy song)

This song was written a few years ago by Dana. It has no reference to Katy except for the tune. It's a very peppy and happy tune in the key of D Major, with a chord progression of I, IV, V (to keep it simple).

You can tell me what you want,
My soul will still live on
Those words you say at me to haunt
Will only make me strong

You always try to distract me
Away from my dreams
But I will know that you're just mean
It's just or dirty schemes.

And now you've lived your whole life up
But you're not satisfied
So now you're aiming to corrupt
Everything you've eyed.

I always did my best
Only to impress you
But you kept wanting more and more
Than I could ever do.

I don't care what you think
About me 'cause I know
That everything I do for you
Is really just a show.

I am not a baby anymore,
I am all grown up.
Now it's me you won't adore,
I'm all fucked up.



These Precious Days

Written by Dana and Alex during those "precious" Shag Pipes days. It's about our childhood memories and how everything was simple and easy as pie. It is written in concert Eb, and has this chord progression:
Bb-Eb-Fm-Eb
Ab-Eb-Fm-Eb
Bb-Ab-Bb-Ab
Bb-Ab-Fm-Eb


Everyday down at the kickball field
The bell rings for us to get out of class
The fourth graders glare as we go and get the ball
We're gonna kick some ass so lets go show 'em all.

We all line up behind the batting cage.
Justin's up first, he's too afraid to kick the ball
He's gonna strike out and then you know he's gonna cry
But before he can he falls because his left shoe's untied

These are the days, yeah those were the precious days
Where everyone's so innocent and the world seemed big to you
And every now and then, when you're not too sure,
Don't look back, you've done it all before.

Judy's up next and she kicks it far
Susie's on second while annie slides to third.
David's with Jack, and says he wants a rematch
'Cause Jcak can't catch, he's such a little nerd.
