Story Behind The Song

My wife wants to start an artist residency at the local recycling center - making art out of discarded elements. I thought that Another Fine Mess would be a good theme song.

Lyrics

Another Fine Mess

Another fine mess you got us in
Another fine day come to a messy end
That?s a mighty fine dress you almost fit in
And mighty fine mess it got us in

A little black dress with the little black straps
Comes down low in the front, goes down low in the back
You ask me do I like it, you really ought to know
With a weapon like that things could get out of control

Chorus:
Another fine mess, another fine mess
It?s a natural disaster, a fiasco more or less
You?d think we might have guessed
We opened up Pandora?s chest and passed the test
It?s another fine mess

It wasn?t the place, and it wasn?t the time
Just the look on your face
Made me an accessory to the crime
I guess we had it coming, but we shouldn?t have laughed
I guess we didn?t factor in the after-math

(Chorus)
(Instrumental verse)

I can?t help the way I feel
I like the way my senses reel
Here?s my heart for you to steal
My heart is my Achille?s heel
And it?s another fine mess, another fine mess

The car?s on the roof, and the dress is long gone
To tell you the truth, something must have gone a little wrong
I really don?t remember, but I?m glad that it?s through
I?m just relieved that I?m still tangled up in you

(Chorus)
