Rent was tough and we'd had enough, so we
Bm
thought we'd buy a place
Had a pool so it wasn't cool, but we
checked it just in case
G
Covid came made the big decision
A
and so we bought it. From that day on it was
F#m E G A
us paying for chlorine. livin’ like a queen
Couple years on, and we believe all the
greenery out back
has to do with our swimming pool and it's
big ass fucking crack
never wanted it in the first place, the
bills are stacking up at a fast pace
And plus it's a diving pool,
can't dig those any more due to zoning rules
Chorus:
Em A7
I'm putting up with myself,
F#m B7
you’re putting up with me and darling I
Em A Gm D
maybe I only put this to tape to pay for my pool
Had to fix this apocalyptic
attack on my back account
Major repairs from deck to pool stairs a
cost I can't surmount,
Solved my problem, you bought my album,
but life goes on when I'm eatin ramen,
and paying for this PebbleTec, a financial wreck
Chorus
G A D A Bm D/A
I Say Your name Under the waves it echoes oh
it's a shame that I’ve gone too far oh to make it
(repeat and fade)
In the united states an average of 3 to 4 thousand people every day are drowning in their pools which averages to about 10 deaths a day. And if I die here it might as well be as well be in this 18000 dollar sarcophagus. and that's only talking retexturing and retiling. we wouldn't even be doing this if it didn't mean risking the complete collapse of our yard and we all knows what that would do to property value.

Where is that Life

Where is that life
Promised to me
For giving everything to the money
Couldn’t be I’ll get it tomorrow
Perhaps later on, Woah
Where is my life
I did my best
Now should I take a bullet to my chest?
Let me rest I bet-it isn’t worth it
It keeps rolling on, Woah
I’ve had enough
Talking for now
We are the only one’s gonna know how
Tear it down those clowns they deserve it
We’ll grind till they’re gone, Woah
House that we built
Our blood and sweat
And now they have the nerve to demand rent
Time we sent these gents to the circus
Cuz we’re movin on, Woah

I was born into a good life, a house on a hill,
Parents who believed in me, and they always will.
Taught to dream big, to reach for the sky,
They saw a future in my wide-open eyes.
They said, “You’re gonna change the world, kid, you wait and see,
A doctor, a leader, a shining marquee.”
I aced every test, walked the stage with a grin,
A degree in my hand, ready to begin.
(Chorus)
C Dm7(xx0211) Am F
But I traded bright lights for paws and tails,
Found my own pack in the offbeat trails.
Not a doctor or lawyer, no high-paying role,
Dm C/E Am G
Just chasing a dream that’s feeding my soul.
Am G F C
I was born to burn bright, but I’m a furry instead,
Dm C/E G C
Building my life with new dreams in my head.
(Verse 2)
I walked the straight path, but it felt too tight,
The cubicles and suits just didn’t feel right.
I found color in the chaos, art in the wild,
A long tail, wolf’s howl, a dragon’s smile.
They said, “Where’s that bright kid we always knew?
The one with big plans, that’s not you.”
But I’m still here, just chasing the call,
Wearing fur at conventions, standing tall.
(Chorus)
Cause I traded bright lights for paws and tails,
Found my own pack in the offbeat trails.
Not a doctor or lawyer, no high-paying role,
Just chasing a dream that’s feeding my soul.
I was born to burn bright, but I’m a furry instead,
Building my life with new dreams in my head.
(Bridge)
Yeah, I know it looks crazy, I know it seems wrong,
But I’ve found my people, where I belong.
I’ve spent my last dime on a suit they’d despise,
But I’ve never felt more alive.
(Chorus)
So I traded bright lights for paws and tails,
Found my own pack in the offbeat trails.
Not a doctor or lawyer, no high-paying role,
Just chasing a dream that’s feeding my soul.
I was born to burn bright, but I’m a furry instead,
Building my life with new dreams in my head.
(Outro)
I still hear their voices, I still see their pride,
But my heart beats louder on this wild ride.
Born to burn bright, but I chose to be free,
In this world I’ve built—it’s enough for me.

I'd listened to this album years before attending my first furcon and I feel that the mood it sets is the closest thing to actually being there. It beautifully captures the soul of the furry fandom.

This album is amazing. It was very hard to choose my favorite track, but i choose Bigger because I love the groove and the lyrics. I really like A Fantasy and All Arise too. The vinyl record sounds great on my turntable and the artwork is beautiful. I can't wait for the next album !

A Musical Tail: One Weekend
by Fox Amoore
supported by 24 fans who also own “Songs to Pay for My Pool”
Very cute, and very true-to-life! The arrangement is extremely well-done on every track, it is hard to believe that this did not come from some large production company. I bought the LP, and I must admit that I am slightly disappointed with the sound quality. It was clearly cut from a compressed digital source. There are some artifacts present at softer passages that should otherwise be bone-jarringly smooth on high-fidelity LPs.
