Story behind the song
Being part of the 50/90 challenge, the song came together ultra quickly. It's intended to be a little zany and over the top. Lyrics and music will be tweaked.
Lyrics
In For A Penny
(v1)
I always suspected
That under the laughter
The beat of your heart
Hid a voice that was dafter
Than all of the folly
We fought to contain
You see (you see, you see)
The effect of you was like
Some acoustic light
In my Disney fog
I felt explicit
You were illicit
A woman of such warm consequence
How could I resist
Your frantic eyelash-madness dance
Pre-chorus
But don’t mess with me now
Don’t mess with me now
Because
Chorus
In for a penny
In for a pound
The ferris wheel
Goes round and round
You were here
But now you’re gone
My London Bridge
Is falling down
(v2)
Our bedroom of rainbows
Had curtains of satin
With every rich colour
A new wonder happened
And such was the folly
I fought to contain
You see (you see, you see)
The effect of you was like
A pathway to exile
Under the jungle
I felt explicit
You were illicit
A woman of such dire consequence
I couldn’t resist
Never believed in coincidence
Pre-chorus
But don’t mess with me now
Don’t mess with me now
Because
Chorus
In for a penny
In for a pound
The ferris wheel
Goes round and round
You were here
But now you’re gone
My London Bridge
Is falling down
Bridge
I climbed the edge of our universe
Picking fruit like a love-sick lemur
To give you something I thought was true
But nothing, oh nothing, nothing
Ever quite had an edge like you
Pre-chorus
So take your final bow
Take your final bow
Because
Chorus
In for a penny
In for a pound
The ferris wheel
Went round and round
You were here
But now you’re gone
My London Bridge
Is falling down
My London Bridge
Is falling down
