Screw Up by Dyslexic Soul published on 2021-01-06T06:35:24Z I wrote this song back in 2007, when this single girl lived above my condo. She called the cops on me 13 times over the year and a half that she lived there. The first time, I was just playing an acoustic guitar at 8pm on a Tuesday. She once complained to me that she could hear me talk on the telephone. Come on lady, I'm alive. The cops used to come over so often, we started recognizing each other. I offered them in for a beer on more than one occasion. One of them noticed my Les Paul and told me he had one at home just like it. She had me questioning my life choices on more than one occasion, but come on. Can't make everybody happy all the time... Screw Up Can’t feel free, can’t feel at ease Can’t stop thinking that she can hear me breathe I’m trapped in my home because she’s sitting all alone Waiting patiently for the next time that I screw up I’m such a Screw Up Hey yeah yeah I’ll turn it high, I’ll turn it low I’ll even try to turn her stomping into Morris code Every time I hear another knock on my door I get a taste of fear that she can’t take it anymore I’m such a Screw Up Hey yeah yeah Too late too late the cops have shown up again Too late too late the cops have shown up again Too late too late the cops have shown up again If they didn’t have cuffs I would be calling them my friends I’m such a Screw Up Hey yeah yeah Genre Rock Comment by Sonny Kaye i really love your vocals on this 2022-09-29T17:15:53Z Comment by Sonny Kaye great guitar drumming bass on this 2022-09-29T17:15:38Z Comment by Laura Lied Punk-tastic 2022-04-24T06:39:33Z Comment by spade13 (13R.I.P)from太陽の王国 Nice!!

And my only foray into apartment living, a neighbor complained because I was listening to This American Life too loudly. That was enough for me. 2021-01-27T20:36:31Z Comment by MASTERING TRUE MUSIC PRODUCTIONS Huge track! 2021-01-26T16:00:54Z Comment by Lammbone Great energy.... ha ha.
