From the mailbag, a mosaic titled “Let’s Get This Over With”

In this mosaic, made by Moonbug Mosaics, Gary looks with dread at the instrument that caused him so much pain, before he “phones in” another apathetic gig to baffled and disappointed fans.

Let's Get This Over With

“Let’s Get This Over With”
(Lyrics from Gary Floater 1979 album “Who Cares”)

 

My body’s here, but my mind’s at home
One more hour til I’m spending time alone
I’d like to thank you all for bring money here
At this time I wish that I could disappear

I’m phoning it in again- here you go
Why did I agree to do this show
I don’t know I guess I’ll have to plead the Fifth
Come on guys, let’s get this over with

My beard and shades are like a mobile home
My singin mouth has got to do this job alone
This apathetic band’s the best that I could find
I’m on my way to Cracker Barrel in my mind

I’m phoning it in again- here you go
Why did I agree to do this show
I don’t know I guess I’ll have to drink a fifth
Come on guys, let’s get this over with
