Variation on Two

This music free to share under a Creative Commons Music Sharing License. 

This was produced one weekend as I watched the Wimbledon tennis finals while sick in bed. Written and largely recorded during the women's final match, and finished and mixed during the men's final the next day.

It is focused purely on the women, the Williams sisters. Their egos and grips on the top slots in their game when they were starting to turn into either snobbish champions or seasoned professionals.

when we saw you last night

 we knew that something wasn't right

 you were giving up the fight

 and everybody knows it

there's nothing that's in your eyes

 that says that you'd compromise

 while most any move is wise

 when you're standing in a tar pit

i know it seems unreal

 look, we didn't make a deal

 what is it with you two that you can't fake it?

we've taken the square of you

 a variation of the two

 but it never really adds up when you break it

knowing all too well

 if there's no getting saved by a bell

 and you feel you're going through hell

 you just keep going

but don't make it hard on yourselves

 just polish them and stock your shelves

 but don't let your big heads swell

 cause that's all that will be showing

look, it's not up to you

 no matter what you do

 it's not like you can suck up to the spectators

so next time you play this game

 don't do it all the same

 and you'll figure out what makes winners
