Throwing Roses / Laureate Of An Awful Honor

from Bigger On The Inside by Scott Paris

/

about

These two were written for the Pirate Signals album, but the arrangements weren't right at the time. Laureate Of An Awful Honor was the name of my "best of" style collection released last year. This song was supposed to be on that cd, but again I just wasn't happy with the first recording.

lyrics

Throwing Roses: You're on the move, with a lot to prove. You keep a steady hand, as you make demands. You gave the performance of a life time, now everyone's throwing roses. Your instincts are keen, when you make a scene. Your favorite role, gets a standing O. I smile and nod as you go on and on...

Laureate Of An Awful Honor: I can feel it tonight, the sting of the lie. I can't keep it inside, you know that I tried. It's no longer the time, but this used to be the place. You know you can't beat them all, but I feel the need to stand before I crawl. To your needs, I can't cater as the laureate of an awful honor. I can feel it tonight, the weight of the world. I've got my heart on my sleeve, and my head in a whirl. Everyone here's insane. It must be in the water...
