Lyrics
SONG FOR KELLY © Hugh Shields & Christopher Smith. June 2004
TRIED TO WRITE A SONG FOR YOU WITH MEANING AND WITH SOUL
BUT EVERY TIME I THINK IT THROUGH IT COMES OUT ROCK AND ROLL
THE GIRL STANDS BY THE MIRROR... HAIRBRUSH IN HER HAND
THE RECORD SPINS THE MUSIC STARTS SHE?S READY FOR THE BAND
chorus
I CAN?T WAIT FOR THE NEW ARRIVAL... OF THE GREAT PINK HAIR BRUSH REVIVAL
SINGING TO THE HAIRBRUSH, THE MNUSIC IN HER HEAD
THE MIRROR PAINTS THE PICTURE AS THE SINGER KNOCKS ?EM DEAD
YOU SANG A LOT OF CONCERTS THEN... EACH NIGHT JUST AFTER SCHOOL
THIS CROWD OF ONE JUST LOVED IT AND HE THOUGHT HIS KID WAS COOL
chorus
I CAN?T WAIT FOR THE NEW ARRIVAL... OF THE GREAT PINK HAIR BRUSH REVIVAL
bridge
THIS IS NOT A SAD SONG, DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU CRY
BUT A SONG MADE OUT OF MEMORIES... ATWINKLE IN YOUR EYE
I TRIED TO GET METALLICA, OR EVEN FLEETWOOD MAC
TO SING THESE LYRICS FOR YOU, BUT THEY SENT MY LETTERS BACK
BUT THE SONG IT NEEDED SINGING, IT WENT ROUND AND ROUND MY HEAD
SO I GUESS YOU?LL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR ME... SINGING IT INSTEAD.
chorus
I CAN?T WAIT FOR THE NEW ARRIVAL... OF THE GREAT PINK HAIR BRUSH REVIVAL
THOSE BEDROOM CONCERTS CAME AND WENT, BUT THE MUSIC?S HERE TO STAY
AND I GUESS THAT HAIRBRUSH MICROPHONE HAS LONG SINCE HAD ITS DAY
THAT LITTLE GIRL?S A WOMAN NOW, WITH MEMORIES OF HER OWN
BUT I HEAR HER SINGING IN MY MIND, WITH THAT HAIRBRUSH MICROPHONE
chorus - repeat three times
I CAN?T WAIT FOR THE NEW ARRIVAL... OF THE GREAT PINK HAIR BRUSH REVIVAL
