Topper Fey (Lyric) by ALChemy â¦and has my darlinâ sent for me?
Oh Topper Fey, Oh Topper Fey.
Iâve counted seven hundred and thirty three
Long lonely days Iâve been away.
If ya ever did see her youâd understand
Why I need her back in my arms again.
So gimme a hand my dear old friend.
Oh Topper help me make it home.
Thereâs a sound not far behind us
Like the crack of a hundred whips.
And somethingâs zippinâ by us
One just nipped me in my hip
Iâm loosinâ lots of blood and Iâm loosinâ my grip
Oh Topper please help me make it home
Tell me are we almost there
Oh Topper, Topper Fey
I feel like Iâm loosinâ air
Is that chopper far away
I canât feel nothinâ anywhere
Hurry, hurry Topper Iâm gettinâ scared.
Lord please spare me and answer my prayer
Help Topper and me make it home.
Now thank the lord above
We finally made it to safe ground.
Youâve carried me enough
Dear friend Itâs time to lay me down
Iâm afraid I couldnât make it and now Iâm heaven bound
But donât fret Topper âcause Heavenâs just like home
Topper my brother tell my darlinâ I love her.
And make her yourâs so sheâs not alone.
Up the ladder:
america The Beautiful
Down the ladder:
Ode to Brittanyy and her Dyke Jacket.

Nicely done, and with such a good rhythm that the few lines that break cadence really stand out.

Thanks D. Some of the lyrics I write seem so fused to the melody and rhythm that I'm willing to bet that if 5 people came to me and sang their version of the song that at least 3 of them would sing it almost exactly how I hear it in my head.
Like it, amusing and fun. verse with Now thank the lord above stood out a little too much for my likings, too much of a change of rythm, or maybe the wrong sort of change
I've had this poem lying around for quite a while so it's hard for me to notice what you're pointing out but I do remember that in that stanza the rhythm and melody slowed down to bring in the closing lines. I think the "Now" is what causes the stanza to slow down slightly.

Al, isn't it supposed to spell Fay rather than Fey? Or is this unconnected to Oh Merry Fay.
This piece is pretty good, though i should agree with cyan9 that towards the end it does stand out a bit. Also, punctuating the end of each verse might be needed.
Topper was written first. I don't know, maybe I decided to change the spelling to designate a male and female version of the name like they do in spanish. It's connected. They're both about love and war.
It's a lyric so I guess you really need to pick a melody an fit the words into it the best you can but I'll see what I can do about the end. 256 view(s)
