Thanks to chasarumba and bradcpu for betaing!



Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth
Only I don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met
I was happier then with no mindset

And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind
Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
Never should have called
But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely

And if you'd 'a took to me like
A gull takes to the wind
Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree
And I'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn, may they all cut their thumbs
And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away
I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find
Without a trust or flaming fields, am I too dumb to refine?
And if you'd 'a took to me like
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.


Notes
Barring some very early and somewhat disastrous attempts, this is the first time I tried making a vid to order. I certainly wasn't comforted after hearing tales of woe from friends about Sweet Charity and such. Fortunately Kady Mae was extremely easy to work with - she provided a huge selection of song and idea choices and we were able to settle on an idea fairly quickly. The vidding itself was also very quick and painless, thanks in large part to FNL's shakycam.

Execution-wise I don't feel that it's among my best work, but this is a case of producing the best possible vid to order and I hope it captured the essence of what Kady was looking for in an OT3 vid. Yay for happily-ever-after threesomes!
