What I Created
4 Jul 2008, Music for the Blind, track 15
We request a song about when you put too much milk in scrambled eggs and you think you got away with it but the milk seeps out like milky amniotic fluid from a pregnant lady all over your plate and it ruins breakfast
-Faith & Nick
when i try to cook i always fail i always go wrong
even the most simple dishes prove in the kitchen i don't belong
try and try again, i will, but i always make mistakes
ham and salad, chips and beans and prime beef sirloin stakes
now i'll try to do the simplest dish that i can think of
all i need to have is egg and milk and salt and oil
but still i wonder if i'll fail i wonder if the egg will set right
and as i put the milk in i'm distracted by the light
----
CHORUS
i thought i'd get
get away with it
but it seems that i did not
and now my breakfast is a wreck
now my egg is leaking and
now my plate is covered in it
amniotic fluid
milk resembles i admit
it was just a bit too much
and now the egg is far too thin
scrambled eggs need just a touch
and so again i must begin
i fail
at food
nothing i can do
when i try to cook
away you look
----
ruined as it is i must accept what i created
and i must try to save it from the horror that awaits
for if i don't i will have wasted it and i don't want do do that
for i would be to blame and i would never live it down
----
CHORUS
----
now it is complete and my creation sits before me
it looks horrific looks like sin but for all its flaws it floors me
