Hardly A Party

from "Borrowed Blue" by J "Jay" Joseph Sharp

about

"I'm sure we're all well-aware of artists
and their low self-esteem. I struggle with
thoughts that I suck all the time.

Being here (but especially
being here with you) is truly inspiring and I'm writing
this simple thank-you for helping me have enough faith
in myself to produce such a thing.

Enjoy."

This was written to Seth Elalouf- as a thank-you since I was crashing in his house, recording in his basement with his acoustic guitar. This was the first new song in the Borrowed Blue Series, that also kicked off "songs in the Key of Jay Sharp" my more produced acoustic EPs.

lyrics

HARDLY A PARTY

you left me there at the altar that day
you left me there at the altar: my place
you know what every one is talking about
you know what every one is talking about

PART II

you said to me that i look funny
you weren't trying to hurt my feelings
you just call it like you see it
you just call em like you see em
and that's fine with me

PART III

the songs they just pour
they pour right out of me
I have nothing that I want to see anymore
but you- at my front door
you said i looked funny
you said i looked funny

PART IV

you thought that i was dangerous
nobody since has thought i was dangerous
sometimes these songs
they just pour out of me
i can't find something
I'd rather see
you at my doorstep

PART V

it's Wednesday night 449
and I'm trying to claim what's mine:
(I don't think I will)
You.

PARTY ON
