Maybe I was wrong to believe I couldn't lose I had a love, but now she's gone she traded me in for someone new now I know how it feels to have my tires kicked in I can't believe that this is real and I have to start again I will fix myself up maybe put on a new coat go in for my regular checkup and put an ad in the auto show

An open letter to single men; To all the men who have tried to impress women with fancy clothes, with knowing about fine dining or sophisticated entertainment. To all the men who have tried to impress women with how much money you make, or pretending that you make much more than you really do. To all the men who believe that a woman will only like you if you have a full head of hair. To all the men who watch chick flicks, or walk dogs, or attend cooking classes with the sole purpose of picking up women. To all of those men: it doesn't work. That it not what a woman wants. She doesn't want something more than that, but rather something different, something else. Something different. Something else. Something different. Something else. Something different. Something else.

Fall For You 01:58
Let's break some hearts... Why do you look at me like I'm your special one? well sure I like to see you but we're just having fun I didn't fall for you it was you who fell for me I am not responsible for your affection's vacancy I am flattered that you love me but I think that we're just friends I didn't realize you perceived it as a means to an end I didn't fall for you it was you who fell for me I am not responsible for your affection's vacancy I've had time to think it over and I agree you should be my lover I think I've fallen for you but I sent you away if only I wasn't so nearsighted I would have you with me today

Now you see my story is coming to an end No storybook romance just another broken man Let this be a warning to those of you who would follow my example without thinking through All that shines can be yours if you want something to hold but don't forget what's already yours may be the truest gold You might go out searching for that angel in the sky but you may find what you want is right before your eyes You might go out searching for that angel in the sky but you may find what you want is right before your eyes

about

Love Of A Salesman is a work detailing the trials and tribulations of a used car salesman who falls in love. It was written and recorded on 19 April 2006. I had decided only a day before to do an album.

I didn't have an idea for the concept when I started, so I just recorded music. After 7 hours or so, I decided that I should do an album that is the back story to a plot in a science fiction story I am working on. After 11 hours, I came up with the salesman idea, and moved forward from there. I can't tell you how easy it is to paint yourself into a corner when you decide the songs are all being told from a car salesman's point of view.

I wrote all of the music in order, then did most of the lyrics in order (track 9 came before 7 and 8). In the end, I think it's a pretty interesting work.
