It Can Only Go Up From Here
I'm neither a singer nor a musician. I am a songwriter looking for singers, bands or publishers in need of original material.
Just trying to sell my songs. Please forgive the count ins, none of the songs have been edited yet.
Story behind the song
Everything in this song is true but obviously didn't all happen at the same time. Most of it is happening right now.
Lyrics
Well, the mortgage is due, the cat's out of food
And the dog just crapped on the floor
The beer's running out and I haven't a doubt
I just can't take anymore
The taxes aren't paid, I'm in bad need of aid
But at this point I really don't care
It's as bad as it sounds, whatever's coming around
It can only go up from here, it can only go up from here
Refrain
I'm on the bottom rung of the 'ladder of life'
I lost my guitar, my pick-up and even my wife
So in the state I'm in I've got nothing to fear
It can only go up from here, it can only go up from here
The house is a mess, I must truly confess
To be honest, it's falling apart
I once fell through the floor, had to kick down a door
And believe me that's only the start
The car doesn't run well, the neighbours are from hell
It's more than a sane man could bear
It's as bad as it sounds, whatever's coming around
It can only go up from here, it can only go up from here
{Refrain}
I got ants in the house, too many a mouse
And a weasel drops by now and then
The house sort of leans, it's a sight to be seen
And of course the rain's coming in
To move would be wise but it would be my demise
Did I mention I'm all out of beer
It's as bad as it sounds, whatever's coming around
It can only go up from here, it can only go up from here
{Refrain}
Yes, it's as bad as it sounds, whatever's coming around
It can only go up from here, it can only go up from here
