Name: There Was a Cock
Duration: P00H03M41S
Description: Based on a true story. Remember, therapy: I should have put better drums and vocals on this. But I think the guitar is really nice, and Lynda's bass is great. It started out to be a Loomer track, but I ended up using it when we broke up.

lyrics

Once there was a cock, and he even had a name.
Herme ruled the roost, with fortune and fame.
And every day at dawn, he'd start his serenade
out on the lawn, with the whole chicken gang ...

Every weekday morn, the children would go to school
and every afternoon, he's waiting for their return.
Now roosters don't follow rules, and they have too much pride;
he tried to cross the road, didn't get to the other side ...
