Please Go Away, But Not To Hell
I don’t always put out your Daily Lex episodes on Friday because the Daily is my interpretation of Daily, which is Monday through Thursday when I feel like it.
Friday’s my work days are a little bit different, so I don’t always get here to this microphone.
But here I am.
And it’s because I’m in a good mood because there’s an update to Lex.Games.
Go get that update because it gives you custom icons and it fixes emoji-only puzzles.
So two great things.
And I had a lot of fun making the custom icons.
So there you are.
But of course, we’re going through the new album Blueprint, and I have to go pick up a car from service.
So let’s get right down to it.
Your Daily Lex.
As always, I had to go look at the album listing to understand what the next track was.
I saw what the next track is, and it made me laugh out loud.
This intro contains spoilers for the song, so there you go.
This is the full Liam original.
Liam wrote the words, Liam wrote the music.
At one point he asked for help with some of the lyrics, so I gave him some suggestions on how he could tee up some rhymes better or whatever.
But this is a song that Liam wrote 98% of the words of and all the music for.
He knows and is working on the fact that his songwriting sometimes can still be very cat in the hat.
Like, I believe there’s a lyric in the song, I love my dogs, I even love hogs, rhyming dogs and hogs, which don’t really rhyme.
Some simple rhymes, some missing rhymes, some slant rhymes that are very slantish, I don’t know.
So the spoiler I was going to reference, or that I did reference for this song, is that originally it was going to be called Chromebook, but then Liam decided he didn’t want to call it Chromebook, so we called it Please Go Away.
The reason he didn’t want to call it Chromebook is because the whole song, you listen to it and you’re like, what does he hate so much?
Because the whole song is about how he likes some things, but he really hates you.
The chorus has such gems as, I won’t be friends with a piece of poo.
I would also note that whenever he says I won’t be friends with a piece of poo, Liam’s pronunciation of poo has a sort of B sound on the front, which he and I laugh at.
I would say Liam now declaims this song.
He wanted it on the album, he wrote it, it was an early song for the album, and it did go on the album, but he no longer loves it because he gets that it’s insane.
It is insane.
And it’s silly and weird, and he really does hate his Chromebook, but the whole thing is, the whole song he’s telling you, I don’t like you at all, I like this other thing, but I don’t like you, and you don’t know what is it.
And when I was playing it for Sierra, who had never heard it and didn’t know what it was about, she’s like, is he going to say he doesn’t like the cats?
Wait, is he going to say he doesn’t like whatever?
Is this song about Trump?
And then finally gets to the end where he says, my, you know, I forget the exact lyrics, but my school issue Chromebook, go to hell.
And because the song ends with the lyrics go to hell, we were not accepted as a kid’s album by the music services, and we had to submit as comedy and rock instead of children’s and comedy, which we’ve done before.
Because they don’t accept a song that says go to hell, and they’re not wrong.
I get it.
So anyway, this song is insane.
I actually, I like that it has a verse chorus structure in that he wrote it, and that it’s, you know, it feels like a song.
The message of the song is not great.
It’s about him hating an inanimate object, an inanimate object, I can speak.
And it’s funny, a little juvenile at times, but, oh, my crappy school Chromebook, go to hell.
That’s how it ends.
So there you go.
Here it is from our album, Blueprint, available wherever you listen to music.
I can speak, I swear.
It’s the song, Please Go Away.
And you’ll never guess what it’s about.
Have a good weekend, everybody.
I love myself, something I won’t sell.
I love my Mac, something I won’t hack.
I love my desktop, I love it a lot.
But I hate you.
I love my dog, I even like hogs.
I love my cats, and as a matter of fact, I even love my dead fish.
But even so, I wish you were gone.
I’m not sorry that we don’t go well.
You are something I want to sell.
I’m not sorry we can’t fit together.
I’d rather sell my toe or be under the weather.
I’m not sorry that we can’t make amends.
I’d rather sell my face than to be your friend.
Because that is something I won’t do.
I won’t be friends with a piece of poo.
So please go away.
Don’t want to see you today.
I’ll be the first one to admit that you and me just don’t fit.
I like going to school.
The teachers are nice and the classes are cool.
I like going to lunch.
My friends are cool and we talk a bunch.
But there’s something I don’t like.
Something I wish would go take a hike.
Go away.
I’m not sorry that we don’t go well.
You are something I want to sell.
I’m not sorry we can’t fit together.
I’d rather sell my toe or be under the weather.
I’m not sorry that we can’t make amends.
I’d rather sell my face than to be your friend.
Because that is something I won’t do.
I won’t be friends with a piece of poo.
So please go away.
Don’t want to see you today.
Just know you are at play.
You are something I hate.
Because that is something I won’t do.
I won’t be friends with a piece of poo.
When I’m with you, I am blue.
If someone makes you, I won’t sue.
If you die, I will save you.
I promise you that all this is true.
So please go away.
Don’t want to see you today.
Just know you are at play.
You are something I hate.
The last time I have to see you is the ringing of the bell.
My crappy school Chromebook, go to hell.
Lex.
