An ode to dumpers

[SloMoHolic]

Just for fun...

I was just playing around with words tonight, but I thought some of my fellow AZBr's would enjoy this.

Here are some lyrics I (semi-)wrote about dumpers in pool, to be read/sung along with "Somebody I Used to Know" by Gotye.

If you can listen to the original song while reading (or singing it in your private space), all the better.

Here is the music video:

If you can, open the above link in a separate browser window or tab, and read/sing these lyrics along with the music.

Enjoy. Have fun.

[intro]

Now and then I think of all the balls you rattled.
Like when you shot the winning ball into the rail.

You told yourself that it was right for shape,
That you would learn what other pockets take.

But those were buckets and they would force me to remember.

...

You can get addicted to a certain kind of long-bank.
Like trying banking from the end, always the end.

But when you thought that you would bank with spin;
You forgot to make it inside spin.

So, it was thick and I was shocked, it cut over.

...

But you didn't have to cut me off,
Make out like I wasn't aiming and that bank was standard.

And I don't even need your spot,
'cause you treat me like a banger and these tables are tough.

No, you didn't have to bet me off.
Hang out with the reckless sweators and you'd see it coming.

I guess that I don't that need you, though. Now you're just a railbird that I used to know.

Now you're just a railbird that I used to know.

Now you're just a railbird that I used to know.

...

Now and then, I think of all the games you duped me under.

Part of me believing you were always dumping what I bet.

But I don't want to play that way, believing every word you say,

You said that you would bet it low,
And I wouldn't catch you dumping for somebody that you used to know.

---

But you didn't have to cut me off,
Make out like I wasn't aiming and that bank was standard.

And I don't even need your spot,
'cause you treat me like a banger and these tables are tough.

No, you didn't have to bet me off.
Hang out with the reckless sweators and you'd see it coming.

I guess that I don't that need you, though. Now you're just a railbird that I used to know.

Now you're just a railbird that I used to know.

Now you're just a railbird that I used to know.

That video was something else.

Your lyrics are funny. :grin-square:

Thanks for the levity.

 

[SloMoHolic]

Thanks, JAM, I was just messing around with words. I hope, but almost know, that you do the same from time to time.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was just for fun.

If I may double post...

My favorite line transformation was this:

"You said that you could let it go"

To this:

"You said that you would bet it low"

Ode to a dumper, eh?

I think that I shall never see a dumper that compares to thee.
You dump from here, you dump form there, you dump from almost anywhere.
Try as you may, try as you might, you'll never prove your method right.
And, as free from sin as I can be, a dump I'll take and remember thee.

Well, I'm quite honored.

I do dump diligently, daily.
Even twice a day, maybe.

<--dammit, all this talk about dumping; now my dog needs to doo-doo. Thanks, Tramp Steamer.

P.S. That Wanking thread got much more action. I'll keep that in mind.

 

[SloMoHolic]

Lol, In a way, every pool player dumps from time to time.

I hope.

Nice song Slomo

hmmmmmmmm dumpers eh

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung

Nice, now let's see you do "put 'em on the glass" haha!
