about

One of six great songs from my 2017 album "The Beat of Your Love."

lyrics

Verse 1:
One day Tommy was here
Then the next day he simply wasn’t
He came and went as quick as he came
But while he was here he would always entertain us

Hook 1:
He’d get really, really bored and sometimes hard
He’d hop on cam and take us all too far
Make us use our hands, and fly us to mars
Wishin’ he would stand and show us more than arms

Link:
Each night we’d all thank him and award him some merits
‘Cause he was so fucking hot
And he spoke so highly of his grandparents
He’s just the type of guy you’d love to introduce to mom

Chorus:
But now he’s gone and
there’s no way to ever know
if he will come back home
Because one day
he just decided to
up and leave and
never gave anyone a vote
And so we still don’t know
why Tommy had to go
He didn’t really ‘have to’ though
Not sure why Tommy chose to go
Tommy had to go

Verse 2:
Not sure if he’ll ever be heard from again
but I sure hope so
Cause with those curves layin’ on that bed
I’d be in the woods looking for his ghost

Hook 2:
He’d get jumpy and lost and sometimes stalked
And he’d lose his keys and get chased by dogs
Walking through the trees, almost always soft
He was, such a hottie can’t believe he’s gone

Link:
Each night we’d all thank him and award him some merits
‘Cause he was so fucking hot
And he spoke so highly of his grandparents
He’s just the type of guy you’d love to introduce to mom

Chorus:
But now he’s gone and
there’s no way to ever know
if he will come back home
Because one day
he just decided to
up and leave and
never gave anyone a vote
And so we still don’t know
why Tommy had to go
He didn’t really ‘have to’ though
Not sure why Tommy chose to go
That’s right Tommy had to go

about

Bradley Voorhees East Syracuse, New York

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
