Story Behind The Song

After living in LA for 5 years, and being an east coast person, I realized that there is a considerable difference in lifestyle, the way they do business etc.. The song is about just that, the good the bad, the unfamiliar and the upside.

Song Description

Singer songwriter/folk ballad.....The Hollywood trappings....good and bad

Lyrics

Everyone's A Little Strange
Words and Music. A?,A,Ac 2007
George Goodridge

Temptation Hollywood
Looking for something
Something that will make you good
The work this prison this gain
It's all part of the same.

So show them what you've got
another rumor
Selling you as something you're not
This place no reason not kind
I must be out of your mind

But there she sits with her hair in a mess
The tattooed version in a catholic school dress
Oh my God I thought I'd seen it all
Everyone's a little strange

Say what you will about the color of the sky
But you can get anything if you're willing to buy
Like I said I thought I'd seen it all
But everyone's a little strange
It seems

One day you'll have it made
Hook up with someone
Don't forget the money and fame
At least everybody will say
Hey, I remember your name.

So show them, make it so
Another season
No way that you'll ever get old
Nobody's going to pass you by
Not sure I understand why

Another pretty face in a little short dress
The bedrooms and limousines that
lead to success
Oh my god I thought I'd seen it all
Everything's so insane.
Say what you will about the color of the sky
But you can get anything if you're willing to buy
Like I said I thought I'd seen it all
But everyone's a little strange
It seems

Everyone is different here
All for love and money is fair.
Compromised but still on the air
And no one seems to mind it

Have you found what you came here to find
Fought the traffic and waited in line
Start to think you're wasting your time
Till you're not quite sure what matters anymore.

Can't wait to have it all
Afraid of no one
Make it big from nothing at all
Too late too little too slow
You've got to know when to go

Temptation everywhere
Listen to reason
Laugh as if you don't even care.
Swear nothing's going to slow you down
I guess you're sticking around

Another new face in another tight dress
Bored, tattooed and her life is a mess
Oh my God I thought I'd seen it all
Everyone's gone insane.

Say what you will about the color of the sky
But you can get anything if you're willing to buy
Like I said I thought I'd seen it all
Still everyone's a little strange
It seems.
