Schäffer the Darklord - My Last Song lyrics
[Schäffer the Darklord - My Last Song lyrics]
You know, it only took a couple of days
To make this last song
The one that now plays
I never really had a song
That worked well to close
Every bad-ass set from all
Of my bad-ass shows
But now I got one, and I think it’s a hot one
It's so new some of the lyrics are forgotten
Like here it’s awkward, I know
But it doesn’t happen very often
It didn’t take a lot to put it together
Using my Mac, well it’s an
IMac, but you know, Whatever
Got a file sharer, Limewire for example
Downloaded MP3’s that I needed for samples
The drums came from James Brown
An oft-bitten hit
And the bass and guitar came
From Rocket From the Crypt
I dragged and dropped the files
Into Pro Tools 6
Which I haven’t really mastered
But I know some cool tricks
I chopped it up and reassembled
It in new layers
I exported, imported it to my MP3 player
I listened as I scribbled on the 1-4 bus
In my notebook I wrote this
Fun chorus it goes
This is my last song, I gotta go
I’d like to thank you one and all
For coming out to the show
And if you didn’t like my act or
Thought my set was too long
You’re in luck, it’s nearly over
This is my last song
This is my last song, it is my last song
Last song
Think there’s another? Well, that’s wrong
Really, it’s the last song
And then there’s no more i’m flattered
But please don’t ask me for an encore
It always seems to me to be
So fake when that happens
"Thank you good night!" And then
Wait for the crowd’s clapping?
I mean it, man, when this song is over
I’m done
Want a free sticker? Then come and get one
I’d like to thank you all
Again for staying so late
It’s crowds like you that
Make playing so great
I’ve got some CDs to sell
They only cost ten dollars
If you can’t afford it now
Send me an electronic holler
Sign my mailing list, and later on, log on
To my website
It’s Schaffer the Darklord dot com
Hey, could someone in the house be a dear
And maybe run to the bar
And get me another beer?
Thanks! You know I’d handle the matter
But I’m out of drink
Tickets thanks! Sierra Nevada
If I had I’d hit a brass gong
"At this time I would
Like to thank everybody
And everything that made
Tonight's show possible
In no particular order"
Let’s hear it for the door guy
Hear it for the soundman
Hear it for the bar staff
Hear it for the other bands
Hear it for the audience
This one really rocks
Let’s hear it for the venue
Hear it for my Black Box
Let’s hear it for the city
Let’s hear for the street
Let’s hear it for my friends who
Made some of my killer beats
Let’s hear it for DB, the name of my label
And once again
Please buy my CDs at the merch table
Let’s hear it for the Internet
Let’s hear it for Craig's List
Let’s hear it for the booking
Agent and the guest list
Let’s hear it for weed
Let’s hear it for sound checks
Let’s hear it for both coasts
As well as the Midwest
Let’s here it for America
The north hemisphere
Let's hear it if you came
Because your crush is here
Let’s hear it for this show
It’s been outta sight
My name is Schaffer The Darklord
Thank you and goodnight
To make this last song
The one that now plays
