about

Song title provided as part of Nur Ein XII. The song had to be a lipogram: The lyrics were not allowed to contain any letter "A"

lyrics

Excuse me
I would like to buy vowels
I'm not throwing in the towel
But, it's crunch time now

Excuse me
Turn those letters if you would
Found solutions where I could
Progressed enough to do some good

I would like to solve the puzzle
It is close to complete
Everything is on the line
Victory so sweet
The trips, money, the prizes
I'd like to be the winner this week

Excuse me
This sentence is tough to discern
I guess I'll need to lose this turn
There's more money left to burn

Excuse me
These words, they're incomplete
I'm not loving your technique
Bought the U which is unique

I would like to solve the puzzle
It is close to complete
Everything is on the line
Victory so sweet
The trips, money, the prizes
I'd like to be the winner this week

Excuse Me, Fill in the empty holes
I'll pick the letters on the show
Complete the words, now we're good to go
Excuse me, might I get this request
I'll fill up the empty text
Shout "Yes" when I give my guess

There's history within this, the show survived
Much evolved over time since seventy-five
Lights which lit, legit, in front of your eyes
Within modern times - They're now computerized
Exercise is wise for the mind, so combine
the timeline to find the structure of the word's design
Some Greek, some built upon long forgotten text
I confess, the muscles in my mind, they're trying to flex
So, next, I do believe in order to succeed
I'll need to heed thoughts quickly, with some frightening speed
'til the puzzle's decoded, so to whoever wrote it
Nicely done, it's surely difficult, my memory exploded
I'll try to get it right, elude the Kryptonite
'til it's down to the letter, which is turned by Ms. White
No losing turns or money, I'm just going by feel
Now I'm here to win the fortune, so I'm spinning the wheel

Excuse Me, Fill in the empty holes
I'll pick the letters on the show
Complete the words, now we're good to go
Excuse me, might I get this request
I'll fill up the empty text
Shout "Yes" when I give my guess

Excuse me There's something I still wish to convey
Yes, witches get stitches, how much do ducks weigh?
If it's words to wood, which will be pulled behind the sleigh
Hitch the buggy up firm, then sound: the horse neigh
I'd surmise I'm only kidding, it is J then K
No need to be offended, or to yell out "Hey!"
The words choose me, I just choose to obey
Flying in upon the wind, like they're birds of prey
Still I know this is something you would like to see
Sticking things together like it's LMNOP
So, excuse me, it isn't difficult if you try
This is buy or sell, I recommend the choice of buy
Word soup is in progress, I figure you know
Vowel sounds which don't count for your info
It's devoid of the letter, check to see, it's true
HEY, ME I TRY to KNOW to DO, right by you

(Hey, Me, Try, Know, Do)
(Hey, Me, Try, Know, Do)

Glenn Case Spokane, Washington

I write music.

I listen to music.

I genuinely just love music.

I have a song available in "Rock Band" and that makes me smile.

Yeah, I'm the guy who did the soundtrack for "The New Adventures of Captain S".

I probably release too many albums, but I do attempt to find a good balance between quality and quantity.

Thank you. ... more
