OK Here’s the Deal…Everyone knows everyone’s Nom de Plume these days, or in this case…pseudonym….but I usually keep her quiet and somewhat anonymous. it’s just easier for me. I have a lot of personal stuff to do and adding that seems like too much.
All pencil drawings as I have spent a lot of time with my sketchbook this week.
This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
This week I squirrelled a lot instead of writing. Some weeks are more art than words, and this is one of those. As a matter of fact I don’t want to deal with the book review tomorrow so I am planning on an art post instead.
verse I keep swingin′ my hand through a swarm of bees ’cause I I want honey on my table I keep swingin′ my hand through a swarm of bees ’cause I I want honey on my table pre-chorus But I never get it right No, I never get it right chorus I keep swingin’ my hand through a swarm of bees I can′t understand why they′re stingin’ me But I′ll do what I want, I’ll do what I please I′ll do it again ’til I′ve got what I need I’ll rip and smash through the hornet’s nest Do you understand I deserve the best? And I′ll do what I want, I′ll do what I please I’ll do it again ′til I got what I need verse I try to stick this pin through a butterfly ’cause I I like all the pretty colors But it just fell apart, so I flung it in the fire To burn with all the others pre-chorus ′Cause I never get it right No, I never get it right chorus I keep swingin’ my hand through a swarm of bees I can′t understand why they’re stingin’ me But I′ll do what I want, I′ll do what I please I’ll do it again ′til I got what I need I’ll rip and smash through the hornet′s nest Do you understand I deserve the best? ‘Til you do what I want, I′ll do what I please I’ll do it again ’til I′ve got what I need bridge And this time, I′ll get it right This time, I’ll get it right It′s gonna be this time, I’ll get it right God, let it be this time, I get it right chorus So I′m cuttin’ that branch off the cherry tree Singin′ this will be my victory Then I See them comin’ after me And they’re followin′ me across the sea And now they′re stingin’ my friends and my family And I I don′t know why this is happening verse But I’ll do what I want, I′ll do what I please I’ll do it again ′til I got what I need outro I keep swingin’ my hand through a swarm of bees ’cause I I want honey on my table
My 2 cents –
to me this song talks about persistence to the point of ignorance. it’s a fantastic song, but I feel like it is largely misunderstood .
