Joined: January 2002 Posts: 14127 Location: 6 String Ranch | Or in this case, April's Fool Here's tonight's song, pretty much on topic. April’s Fool by bill kaman 3-1-09 (Am7)Standing on the corner, (Dm7)waiting in the rain (E7#9)He’s (E7b9)A(E7#9)pril’s (Am7)Fool (Am7)Said she’d be there, (Dm7)she forgot again, (E7#9)He’s (E7b9)A(E7#9)pril’s (Am7)Fool (Am7)And though he knows, (Dm7)she plays him like a toy (Am7)He would never leave, (Dm7)she’s his happiness and joy (Am7)He keeps waiting (Dm7)for the day she’ll change (E7#9)April’s Fool She’s running late, he’s calling all around Nobody knows She hasn’t been at work, or anywhere in town Where can she be? He pretends he doesn’t see, all the other men He believes that they’re, just all old friends But there are so many, it keeps going on and on April’s Fool He keeps her picture, in a gilded frame Right by the door She takes his new car, does his coke and champagne Always wants more You’d think he’d wake up, but he hasn’t got a clue The way he loves her, there’s nothing he can do He buys her handmade boots, she walks all over him April’s Fool Waiting by the telephone, waiting in the car Waits all the time Waiting at the restaurant, waiting at the bar Can’t see the signs And though he knows, she plays him like a toy He would never leave, she’s his pride and joy He keeps waiting for the day she’ll finally change April’s Fool | ||

Then our main song was the warm-up and the double cross was the competition song. There were only five of us. So we do this. Turns out the double cross was that both songs were judged. So I got third for both. Darby got second for his double-cross one. It was true classic Darby. | ||
