This is Bob Howard and I wrote this song over 20 years ago when I was living in San Diego in the early 1990's. It is the oldest original song I still play. Has a definite 90's kind of a feel, but I like how kind of poppy and campy it sounds. I'm pretty satisfied with the Vesuvians version of this one. Scott nails it on the guitar and it has a nice, punchy feel.
lyrics
Standing on the Sun
It's been a week and a half since you left me,
I can take care of myself,
I still break down from time to time...
That picture on the night-stand,
Your lips look like candy,
I'm sweating and I'm shaking,
And I need some thing to settle down.
I drink when you're not around,
I really knock that cheap wine down...
Cumming in the mayonnaise,
Spreading it on my hair,
Spreading it on your sandwich...
As if you were here,
You wouldn't hear me,
Crying to myself.
But that's okay I'll be fine,
I said that's okay I'll be fine,
I just need some time...
Flying away in my space ship,
Off to see the stars,
I would have taken you along...
But there's no room,
There's no room for you,
There's no room because I
need some place for me feet,
And I'd like to have a few extra seats,
In case some aliens come along...
My feet are on the sun now,
It burns my soles,
I can see your house from here...
It looks so small,
I can barely see you at all,
So far beneath me,
Deprive you of my heat,
Stand on charcoal feet,
Standing on the sun!
Standing on the sun!
Standing on the sun!
Standing on the sun...
