The Green Cow

the cow is so
green grass is so
brown

I've been playing old songs in my mind. I left my CD player at Bacolod so I'm left with a lot of CDs to just stare at. And I'm so frustrated. I can't remember the rest of the words to that song.

not so far away
something... something...
with a frown

I've been searching the net for a while now and I guess the band's so obscure that no one put up the lyrics on the net. And the first three lines of the song is just repeating and repeating and repeating in my head. It's annoying.

I've been scanning the record stores again. I used to, when I was still unemployed, spend hours in record stores. I'd just hover over the listening stations and listen to anything and everything. I don't do that anymore. There's a lot of things I don't have time to do any more.

are we standing blue
in the doorway

Some of the lines keep coming back to me, but they're only fragments of the song.

There was this movie in the office that was really just so...surreal*. And it was sort of weird and the audio was so bad that I had to guess most of the dialogue. Whoever might watch that in the US would get confused if they read the captions.

But the soundtrack was excellent. It composed of only bongo drums and a bass but it was so good. I tried to find the media file today so I could listen to it and freeze the melody in my head, but they had already deleted the files. So right now, I'm stuck with the first two chords of the bass from the movie and the first stanza of The Green Cow.

And the bongo drums.
Both songs had bongo drums.

* In other words, I liked it but I couldn't understand it.
