"Standing Ovation for Nobody"
Style: G major, 176 BPM. Chicago Blues meets Cabaret — Chicago Blues leads. Swaggering, darkly comic, theatrically bitter. Close-mic baritone vocal, gravelly and sardonic with a stage-ham quality, delivered 
Lyrics: Well, gather 'round, I got a story 'bout a damn fool you might know

I drove four hours for a woman who was gone before I parked
Left a note that said 'good effort' and a candle in the dark
Now I'm out here with my suitcase and a real heroic thirst

Best-laid plans of mice and me
##Best-laid plans##
Always land on ceremony
I rehearse the exit speech but miss the door
I'm the standing ovation nobody asked for

I once told a crowd of twelve that I was born to fill a stage
Nine of 'em were relatives, two left, one was underage
But I bowed like Carnegie Hall had gone and called my name

I keep taking all the bows for shows that never ran
##Never ran, never ran##
God must love a punchline — He keeps usin' me for that

Best-laid plans of mice and me

"Ruffled Collar, Slide Guitar"
Style: D major, 138 BPM, Chicago Blues meets Baroque Pop — Chicago Blues leads. Swaggering shuffle groove with a 12-bar foundation, but ornamented by a harpsichord playing call-and-response fills against a F
Lyrics: The harpsichord don't lie, and neither do I

I got powdered wigs and a 12-bar soul
Bach on my mind but the devil in control
I tune my lute to the key of wrong

I'm a blues man in a minuet
The most confused aristocrat you ever met
##Oh he's confused, so confused##
Got a ruffled collar and a slide guitar

My harpsichord weeps at the crossroads road
Scarlatti wept when he heard my mode
I owe the devil and the court a debt

I can't decide if I should bow or bend my knee
So I do both — that's my philosophy

I'm a blues man in a minuet
The most confused aristocrat you ever met
##Oh he's confused, so confused##
Got a ruffled collar and a slide guitar

The harpsichord fades — the blues remains
