Description
A song about pain and isolation. The lyrics were given to me by a guy called Andrew Richardson on the musesmuse board. He also did the backing vox and speaking parts.
I did the music and sang and ruined Andrew's vocals but putting too many effects on them :-)
Raw pain and isolation. It's a jolly little ditty best played loud through headphones.

Homeschool
Lonely soul in a crowded city
Soft boiled heart grown hard on pity
longs for freedom from his misfit's isolation
Homeschool
Ritolin boy of a prozac mother
never was given the chance to discover
How to get along
with the other boys on the street
And the reasons made sense
Bullying and fear
his parents religous stance
but homeschool is dying to join the dance
Homeschool
Grades give the message he's loaded with knowledge
But soon as he's ready he'll skip out of college
Gotta to hit the streets
To fill the holes inside
Homeschool
A twitch in his eye or a cautious stammer
you can almost hear the clamour
for attention and connection
with the world he's separated from
Cheers

Dick, holy crap man, this is rockin'! What a great guitar riff! You sound like a young Roger Waters vocally - and your sense of arrangement is much like his as well, mixing rock deftly with orchestral flourishes and theatrical aplomb. Those are really great lyrics - nice catch. Love the cacophony build-up to sudden silence at the end and the dreamy sort of interlude. I love this tune so much, I just don't have anything else to say except "MORE!"
