Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded line
Breakdown, takedown, you’re busted.
You don’t have a clue.
If you did you’d find yourselves doing the same thing too!
Breaking the law, breaking the law…
I fought the law and the law won.
I shot the sheriff.
(but I swear it was in self-defence)
Wanted, dead or alive.
And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back.
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back.
Meta:
This thread for the most part looks less like a conversation and more like the musical equivalent of “Associate Associate”
That being said:
(I’ll stop being disruptive now. carry on.)
meta Yup, I agree. That’s why I was trying at first to keep my responses down to one line. (It’s hard to sound conversational, once you start to rhyme.)
. #meta I’ve thought about that a few times, but then I remind myself that a “conversation” can take a lot of different forms.
I think it’d be difficult to make it more conversation-like without an additional rule, like only using one complete or partial sentence from the song quote. Would be rather limiting, though.
#meta: It is hard. I personally find the challenge of working within constraints to be rewarding. i.e. “How do you make a creative statement with the rules imposed?”
I’ve had a chat or two with @OtherMichael about this, and he likes things to evolve in a more free form fashion, though I must commend him for almost being a strict task master in the questions thread.
(Don’t get into it with him about parenthetical statements.)
I know what this is, this is what we talk about.
you won’t stop talking,
Why don’t you give it a rest?
You got more rabbit than sainsburys
This is what it sounds like when doves cry?
