This has been a long time coming. Finally, a working (rough) draft of "A Shitty Day" with vocals. It will get refined, but for now, here it is. In this version we corrected the snare and kick drums.
lyrics
V1
Just another depressing day
Postbox full of more bills to pay
One more nasty trick from the ex
to take more from me I suspect
What a tosser (chorus)
CH1
Such a bad day, a shitty day, what a bad day,
just a-no-ther
awful bad day, a shitty day, such a bad day,
motherfucker
****
V2
What a waste of my precious time
and it’s all so asinine.
I’ve been slaving away for years
Don’t know how I ended up here.
So depressing!
CH2
Wages are declining, cost of living rising, businesses downsizing,
Just can’t keep up
Every day is Monday, even if it’s Sunday. Why keep on existing?
I’m so fed up!
****
VIOLIN SOLO
****
V3
Stupid people are everywhere
Politicians pander to them
Poison water and filthy air
It’s a toxic environment.
Degradation! (chorus)
CH3
Such a bad day, a shitty day, what a bad day,
just a-no-ther
awful bad day, a shitty day, such a bad day,
motherfucker
(DESCANT)
Skill is underrated, unappreciated, total disaffection
No connection
Diligence and honesty lose to criminality,
avarice and apathy
Such frustration!
****
POST-SOLO (4 BARS)
Such a bad day, a shitty day, what a bad day,
just a-no-ther
awful bad day, a shitty day, such a bad day,
motherfucker
BIS
(DESCANT)
Economy imploding
Oil wells exploding
Human rights eroding
What a nightmare
Children live in poverty
with police brutality
God, it’s such a travesty
No-bo-dy cares!
Corp’rate sociopathy, religious hypocrisy
in this idiocracy
So disgusting
Desperation and ennui, with downward mobility
Aspirations, hopes and dreams
All for nothing!
***
CODA
Such a bad day, a shitty day, what a bad day,
just a-no-ther
awful bad day, a shitty day, such a bad day,
motherfucker
BIS
(DESCANT)
Stupid singularity
This fascist theocracy
Theft of our democracy
By a kakistocracy
Tell me I lack gratitude, that I’ve got an attitude
I’ve run out of fucks to give!
What. A. Shit-ty. Daaaaaaayyyyy….

The Panache Orchestra suggests turning off your cell phones and your useless genres. Woven into TPO's DNA are strands of The
Beatles, Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli , Mahavishnu Orchestra, and traditional music of Europe and Japan shaken up with a shot of vintage rock ‘n roll, and as the night grows longer and the cocktails accumulate, a dynamic, swashbuckling romanticism emerges....more
