Liner Notes

#acousticrock
At the end of an ordinary day, with nuts as the theme of the skirmish. I tried to keep it simple.

Lyrics

We had your birthday party without you
And then there was one more mistake
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake

Nuts at the office
Nuts at the office
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake

Too much action and not enough thought
Blame it on office automation
But the cake is all I have to show for it
How does something like this happen

Nuts at the office
Nuts at the office
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake

It’s good to remember what really matters
The way the world is today
I really don’t know what to say

We had your birthday party without you
And then there was one more mistake
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake

Nuts at the office
Nuts at the office
I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake

This is a very fun listen, and "nuts at the office" definitely seems like it has a double meaning - were they meant to be the party guests? Or are we talking about luxury smoked almonds or whatever 😀

Nice. I like the way the 'I left the nuts at the office
And all I brought home was the cake', could be read two ways. It could be the literal sense of leaving a packet of nuts, or a judgement on your office colleagues!

I hope you had as much fun writing this as I did listening to it. I enjoyed it a lot.

@cindyrella 1w

What fun! Great amusing lyrics and creative too!

Simple, realistic, and amusing.

"And all I brought home was the cake" feels like it must be a popular saying, like "have your cake and eat it too" meets "and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
