about

A Debs & Errol track before there was a Debs & Errol! Debs and Errol each wrote their own verses. Contrary to what she sings, Debs is throughly entertained by Errol's bizarre story lines.

lyrics

Debs:
It's my protagonist
She's quite the leading lady
She's gorgeous, smart and strong
She drives the boys all crazy
But she just stares and me and won't take direction
It's just a tad pathetic
I think she might be narcoleptic

Errol:
Well...

I could see she is wild and daring
An accountant with dash and flare
Corporations sing her praises
Solving problems without a care
But she holds a secret that would send her world asunder
She has one dream she's been wishin
So she's training to be a radio technician.

Debs:
Thanks for the kind suggestion
But that's not her at all
In fact that sounds quite boring
that plot is far too small
She needs a storyline that's worldly and epic
The readers just wouldn't get her
I think that we could do much better.

Errol:
Oh...ok...how about...

A dry cleaner with strong convictions
Wants to be a political leader
But her boyfriend's a killer for hire
For the mob but he really needs her.
And she can't bring herself to voice her own opinions
Even if she feels it's wrong.
She's cleaning blood stains all day long.

Or perhaps she could be a ninja!
Breaking gender roles and bones!
She carves death with her Stealth Trebuchet
Fighting off - assailants unknown!
But she meets an opponent that she cannot overcome
A charming man who is a bit uppity.
And he's cursed, afflicted with lycanthropy.

Debs
That rhyme was pretty bad!

I don't think this will work
Sorry for my indecision
You do have great ideas
But we've just got different visions
This plotline should tap into something enormous
Humanity as a whole
Bound to ignite the very soul

Errol:
Oh, I know, she could be duck! (Debs: I don't want her to be a duck)
On the run from many attackers.
She's a delicacy of high demand (Debs: my NaNo novel's gonna suck)
Chinese chefs are trying to catch her!
And then she meets up with a friendly obstetrician (Deb: I think that I should just give it up)
They fall in love and things get sweeter. (Debs: Just stop!)
But in the end he just decides to eat her. (Debs: Please stop!)

Errol:
Whoops I should go right now.
Gotta find where the kids are at.
My wife is speaking at a rally.
It's been fun thanks for the chat.
Hope she doesn't notice that I look like a zombie
(Debs: Zombies! Yes, that's perfect!)
She's always out till who knows when.
(Debs: You're a genius!)
I certainly hope she's not with men.
(Debs: Thank you so much!)

Errol/Debs:
I/you should get back to typing
the NaNo novel that needs writing!
