SOS
Sue and the Hufflepuffs Lyrics

i didn't sit down here to write a song for you tonight
I didn't write this song specifically for you tonight.

you know things don't always go the way i plan
My plans don't always go perfectly as expected.

the muse she won't cooperate
My creative inspiration is not helping me at the moment.

and i have to pick up what she hurls my way
I have to work with what little inspiration I do have.

so i started once and i started twice
I began writing this song, but scrapped my previous attempts.

then erased it all cuz it wasn't nice
I deleted what I wrote because it didn't feel right.

and with the country fighting how many wars
The country is dealing with multiple wars.

and the capitalist myth convulsing on the floor
The capitalist ideology is swirling in chaos.

this is not what i thought i had to say
This song is not what I originally intended to write.

but its best not to fight with the goddess you know
It's better to not challenge the creative inspiration that comes to me.

so here we go
So, I will continue with this song.

so when you nudged me at the acceptance speech
When you prompted me during the speech,

when barak obama said his lesbian sisters deserved to live life free
During Barack Obama's speech when he talked about the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

for a minute i thought maybe i'd been forgiven
For a moment, I felt like I was putting my past mistakes behind me.

and should ask you but you see
I thought about asking you for advice, but didn't.

and then i got nervous and i chewed some ice
I became anxious and distracted myself by chewing ice.

now the christian right is having fits
The conservative Christians are upset.

about the judges in connecticut
Specifically, they are unhappy with the judges in Connecticut.

saying folks deserve their rights even if their gay
The judges believe in giving gay people equal rights.

using legal code to judge law you know
They are using the law to make their decision.

so here we go
Continuing with the song.

you can tell me about your therapist
You can talk to me about your therapist and treatment.

and i'll raise you with my mom
And I'll share information with you about my own family.

we all look for help to understand
We all try to gain insight and understanding throughout our lives.

and i know tonight wasn't meant to be a test
I know tonight wasn't meant to be a difficult situation.

but i can make meaningless small talk with the best
But I can make light conversation well.

so i chatted once and i muttered twice
I made small talk quickly but was hesitant.

and i made damn sure that i stayed polite
I was very careful to remain courteous and respectful.

you keep walking out and in the door
You keep leaving and returning.

leaving love convulsing here on the floor
This constant separation is causing our love to suffer.

and i know you don't want to hear what i've got to say
I know you are not interested in my opinions right now.

best not to fight with the goddess you know
I prefer not to challenge my creative inspiration or muse.

so here we go
So, I will continue with the song.
