As any sentient being within 3 billion light years knows, Sydney is in the middle of a housing market frenzy the likes we haven't seen since someone threw a bucket of chum into a tankful of Great White Sharks.

We got doorknocked on Saturday by a very smiley real estate dude and this morning, whilst working on some rather Naff lyrics for a song for Danny Cox, I received a rather too well informed caller who knew my name, various details and proceeded to invite me into a discussion about selling houses, as hadn't I heard about the riches to be made on my street.

Ok, so here's my thing. This song for Danny is risky. It's got a good sentiment but is in severe danger of going Beyond Cheesy. I mean, we'll take risks, sure, but this stuff is tough. Just the right side of cheese/heartfelt sentiment and we have a passionate, well thought out song with anthemic potential OR OMFG WTF hahahaha.....
As Mark Twain once said, the right word is the difference between lightning and lightning bug. If I take this risky song to the boys before I have tweaked it Just Right I may be met with Hoots Of Laughter and therefore FLOP. Back to drawing board.

So, I sit here, deleting line after line, re writing, scratching my head, no, too sugary, so, bad rhyme, no OMG what was I thinking, no that word...hang on...hang on...what if I...could it...yes...it might.. I might just...

RING RING 'Hello, MJEB? This is EXPLETIVE from EXPLETIVE DELETED reaI estate I just called to talk to you about...'

I will admit, if he had a better line for the song than I did I woulda accepted the intrusion, but Sell Sell Sell didn't rhyme :-)

I'm not sure whether to thank him or cuss :-)
