Once I had a love and you know it was brass

Soon turned out, had a heart of glass

You know I love gold bling, but now I find

It’s not enough

I need more shine

Once I had a love and it was divine

Soon found out I lusted after light

It seemed like the real thing cuz brass is so bright

It’s not enough

I need more shine

In between “what I find is pleasing” and “I’m feeling fine”

Love is so confusing

There’s no need, I find

To choose between the two

Glass is just so good, it’s changed my point of view

Lost inside this illumination and I love the light

It’s the thing I’m wanting, it just feels so right

I could even live with chrome, yeah…

Yeah, riding high on love’s true vintage light

Ooh ooh ooh whoa

Once I had a love and you know it was brass

Soon turned out, had a heart of glass

You know I love gold bling, but now I find

It’s not enough

I need more shine

Ooh ooh whoa

Ooh ooh whoa

Ooh ooh whooooooooa

    I heart you Erin. Best damn design writer on the interwebs, I say. And those lights are perfection. Every single one of them.

  3. nkp says:

    Yep, what Naomi said. ‘Bout sums it up.

  4. I love your musical stylings! I wish this was a weekly feature.

  5. Rebecca says:

    Could you start doing a vlog where you actually re-record songs with the new lyrics? Because I would pay for that shit.

  6. erin says:

    It’s stuff like the chairs in pic 4 that make me unwilling to buy furniture. Nothing seems special enough after looking at this blog! Clever musical stylings.

    Those chairs that look like you can stab someone with are pretty!

  10. Aja says:

    And now I shall shuffle back to my lazy blog where I do not re-write clever new lyrics to my favorite old songs to correspond to whatever I’m writing about.

    eff brass, those two hairy and shaggy poufs are killing me.
    What are they?

    I need one.
    The remind me of:

    The Mcdonalds FryGuys

    and
    the mylittlepony bushwoolies

    and yes, I’m aware that I’m retarded.

    Okay, Erin. I’m ready for you to cut your album. Your lyrics are fabulously funny! And love the brassy glassy goodness too.
