Lyrics — Dear Editor

August 5th, 2008

Here are the lyrics for Dear Editor.

VERSE

Inside my pages the second act closes
Our hero’s been through so much she seems hopeless
What will she do next, you don’t know what it will be
You can’t stop reading, cause I’m chapter 203

CHORUS

You wouldn’t know something that was well written
if it jumped off the page and moved into your home, Barnard
BA in English says I should be streamlined
Fix your typos and commas and leave me alone

VERSE

I know someone that deserves your “affection”
Story goes nowhere and reading them’s a chore
I’m sure they’d love all your “expert” attention
Do me a favor and bug chapter 94

CHORUS

You wouldn’t know something that was well written
if it jumped off the page and moved into your home, Barnard
BA in English says I should be streamlined
Fix your typos and commas and leave me alone

VERSE

I guess I know we’re running long and could get lighter
Maybe a few words should stay lost instead of found
I don’t appreciate your yellow highlighter
No my author isn’t paid by the pound

CHORUS

You wouldn’t know something that was well written
if it jumped off the page and moved into your home, Barnard
BA in English says I should be streamlined
Fix your typos and commas and leave me alone

    I dig it. The plot is quite unique. And I empathize with the book being tortured by poor editing. In similar vein, I strive to understand coffee. Check out the song “My Darling Coffee.” http://amiestreet.com/leeistrail.
