Last Minute

We were forced to write lyrics of our own and sing to it. First thing came up to my mind, "WHAT THE HELL, WE'RE NOT PROFESSIONAL SONG WRITERS YOU KNOW." And we have, like, one week to it.

After much time of brainstorming - or rather after 6 plates of nasi lemak, kopi-o-kow-yang-lupa-bubuh-gula, teh ais and orange juice, we've decided to use the tune of SexyBack for our song. The song is about the story of the students doing assignments.

The next week we sang it to the class. The lecturer said the beat is too happy but our song is kinda sad so we should change our song. It's not meant to be sad ya' know. We were going for the funny and not serious kind of songs. Like I'm Just A Kid by Simple Plan or Teenagers by My Chemical Romance or even Happy Song by Liam Lynch (okay the last one is really really not serious kind of song. Ha). So, okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy we change the song. We have less than a day to re-write it. This time we used the beat of Last Kiss by Pearl Jam. Only that we don't have the minus one for it. Yours truly, will be playing the guitar. Hah. This is the lyric that we came out with:

Last Minute

**Oh where oh where can my paper be
I’m panicking, it’s killing me
I’ve searched everywhere that I could not rest
So I think I’m gonna go really crazy…I guess

I was in my room, I was lazing around
Hunger got to me, you can hear the sound
Armed with money, I went to McD
Ordered two burgers and a value meal
I was so full, headed back to my room
Switch on my laptop and started to type
The long long lines and the boring phrase
The painful task that giiiiiiiives me stress

Oh why oh why can’t I do it right??
I’ve tried my best, I cannot fight
This is what happens when u do last minute
There is no time for me to cry…it’s too late

When I woke up the rain was pouring down
My room mate’s sleeping, without a sound
My conscience struck me, oh I knew I had to work
With heavy heart and sleepy eyes
I lifted my head, looked at the screen and screamed
Where on earth has my paper been?
I tried to search, I’m getting really pissed
The result was none, I won’t live in peace
Well now it’s gone eventho I tried to find
I lost my work, my A…that night.

The meaning behind this lyric is kinda straight forward. The song is about a student doing his assignment on the last minute, and his laptop decided to eat up his work. It's about his frustrations.

The conclusion? I suck at playing guitar. Nuff said.
