DEMO: She Wears the Pants (excerpt)
Here's another one ya'll, this one a bit more rockin'. It also happens to be the first one to feature my brother on back-up vocals during the chorus. Click here: "She Wears the Pants". Inspired by David Brin's The Postman" (the original novel, not the movie) and every Amazonian I have ever known. The basic story is that civilization has collapsed, the narrator is the last hope of humanity, and the Amazonian will beat the crap out of anyone that gets in his way.Lyrics:
She... she wears the pants / And I've got some books
She's my escort on a long and dangerous trip across the land
But she... she's got a spear / And I've got a poem
She defends the finest things in life she doesn't even understand
Chorus:
But she don't know a thing I'm sayin' now to her
But she feels my horizon inside
It's the fate of a new world
So we... came to creek / defended by trolls
Willingly illiterate and dripping in the finest of gold
But she... she summoned the wind / put me in a hole
Tore down a tree, and beat them limb from tiny limb.

i really like what you do after each chorus, the repeated guitar/flange thing that ends the song.
i feel like this might use a bridge, to be fastball to all these curves. just a thought.
i also wonder about the "fate"...could you maybe use a word before it to describe it, to turn the corner just a bit more?
overall, cool stuff. dig it.
