Out of the loop

Skirmish: Out of the Loop (@dotsandlines)Liner Notes
A quick one-take thing because it's quite early in the morning here
Lyrics
Imagine my surprise when I heard from somebody else I thought we had an understanding, I thought we were there for each other And then I read we had to tighten our belts Imagine the betrayal I felt
That’s the sort of thing we used to say When someone wasn’t pulling their weight We used to laugh about those losers Over G and T lunches Complain about those flexi-time abusers
What goes around comes around We all fall out the loop in the end Don’t worry ‘bout me as I hit the ground I’ll take my leave when the new boss is crowned
Imagine my surprise when I heard from somebody else We have to tighten our belts

Thanks for joining so early!
The tone in both your voice and guitar is just a bit haunting, and that adds a certain something to the emotion in "Imagine my surprise".
This one's got a little kick to it as an Unemploid ™
Really great lyrics, especially for something written in such a short amount of time!
