A rough version of a song that I thought would end up on 'Smile Slightly'. Note that the bridge was later used for 'Someday Soon' from the 'Opera Alley' album.

Alison Day

Take your choice. It’s here and now.
You’ve gonna get the best somehow.
She thinks she’s holier than thou,
So chances must be taken.

Knock Knock Knock come stand in line
She’s hot. She’s cool. She’s serpentine.
You watch her dance in perfect time
And something inside’s aching.

Hey, it’s Alison Day
Hey, it’s Alison’s way
Hey look up, now don’t look down
She’s gone again. She can’t be found.
Hey, it’s Alison Day

You stare ahead, no she can’t wait.
You must not differentiate.
She just wants to consummate
Something or other.

It’s nice to have a fighting chance
No love, no faith, no “true romance”
Just someone taking off her pants
Before you feel smothered.

Hey, it’s Alison Day
Hey, it’s Alison’s way
Here she is, she slightly smiles
She wants to stick around awhile.
Hey, it’s Alison Day

She laughed again. There you go.
She’s coming your way, you know
You tried twice, face aglow
Did you come on too slow?
You look up. She pushes back.
She’s coming on strong and stacked.
Bushwhacked, knee-slapped
It’s her own private joke.

The morning sun comes shining through
Hit’s so hard, so fast, so true
Life’s a deeper shade of blue
Cos now she’s gone forever

That’s okay, it doesn’t last
It does no good to be downcast
It’s something that we can’t get past.
But never say “never”.
