lyrics

Consolation Prize

Now, when the gameshow‘s over
And you’ve answered every clue
You were the title-holder
A one-man wrecking crew

Clutching the trophy tightly
You thank all the family
And to the friends who finally
Made you stop and see

You win, you lose You pay your dues
And then you realize
That all it’s worth ‘s a consolation prize

Standing beneath the spotlights
The announcer waits his cue
This was to be your big night
But, now you see the truth.

After he thanks the sponsors
He holds out his hand to you
“Congratulations, loser! Here’s to all that you could do.”

CHORUS

To be human is to err and
that’s when it came unglued
you stood there all transparent
to everyone who viewed.

The tabloid paparazzi
struggle for a decent shot
the ten o’clock reporters
want their 15 second spots.

CHORUS

Jeff DeHerdt vocals, piano, blah, blah......
Jack Helsley No, it's not a cello
Harry Goodloe feels and fills
Peter Kienle guitarmophone
Mike Stricklin mind-blowing sax
Tom Clark even more mind-blowing sax
Toni Bosten easily better vocals than Jeff's
Dave Weber percussion. Because, I made him.

I usually work with a group of disparate musicians who play well together most of the time.

Really, the only thing that keeps us together is the money.
