about
This is a very special shadow song, written for and inspired by Travis, without whom I would never have gotten as far as I did the the Spintunes 5 competition.
lyrics
First on my list
Bright, happy, cheerful- like a childrens tv show song
When you put, someone first
It lets them know just where they stand
When you put, someone first
It shows just how you feel
When you put, someone first
They know that they mean something to you
When you put, someone first
Your heart is not concealed
Actions speak louder than words
That’s the truth, not just a saying
Your action clearly was heard
It sure meant a lot to me!
So what if we’ve never met face to face!
Shared a dinner, even shook hands
Walked a beach leaving prints in the sand
Some of my best friends live in cyber space
I care about them, laugh at their jokes
Read their tweets and endure their pokes
I’ve a list, it’s rather small
Of people who have touched my heart
And you’re first, at the top
I really must insist
When you put, someone last
They know that they mean nothing to you
So congrats! You are first
You’re first on my shit list!
That is “touched my heart”…as in through the back, with a stiletto
