Name: Something's Missing
Duration: P00H02M49S
Description: Around the time I wrote this, I was playing my ukulele on the subway when a man came up to me to say that he had just located the bylaw which prohibited me from playing an instrument on the subway. He then said: "This is not the 16th century and you are not a troubadour!". Although this song was not initially written about him, I dedicate it to you Mr. Grinch!

lyrics

You tried to explain yourself

I guess you guessed I was onto you

I couldn't quite pick it out

At first I had some doubts

But now I know

You lost your soul

A-oh oh

Is it on a shelf ?

Did it fall out somewhere?

Take a good look at yourself

You'll see you need it

Oh so bad

You'd be so glad

A-oh to get it back

It must be hard for you

To be so evil and so cruel

I'd like to help you but

Each time you're near

I get freaked out

So I'll save myself

And stay away from you

Maybe someone else

Will be brave and help you out

Who knows

They might find your soul

Your secret's safe with me

I'm sure nobody else can see

It hardly even shows

I bet you that they'll never know

Until you open your mouth

Or maybe breath the air

They might figure out

There's something missing there

Oh no You lost your soul
