What I’m Listening to: Glass Animals – Helium (and Taylor Swift – obvs)
What I’m Reading: Just finished The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller
Inspired by recent “Taylor’s Versions,” I thought “22” needed a #LocalGov version, especially as we kick off our own year of ‘22! Hum along and let me know what lyrics you’d add @RealMaggieJones.
It feels like a perfect Tuesday
To go to Council
And get that action item passed
Ah-ah, ah-ah
It feels like a perfect Tuesday
For breakfast on the run
So grab your coffee at the drive-thru
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Yeah, we’re happy, stressed, politically astute and hopeful at the same time
It’s unpredictable and messy but still fun, oh yeah
Tonight’s the night when we (finally) pass that action plan
It’s 7:00 PM, oh-oh
I don’t know about you
But I’m feeling 20-22
Everything will be alright if
Council doesn’t change their minds
You don’t know about me
But I’ve got anxiety
That item will pass if
You just hold your breath like it’s 20-22
It seems like one of those nights
Chambers sure is crowded
Too many people on NextDoor
(What’s a public servant anyway?) Ah-ah, ah-ah
It seems like one of those nights
We forgot the public hearing
And end up screamin’ instead of leavin’, yeah
Yeah, we’re happy, stressed, politically astute and hopeful at the same time
It’s unpredictable and messy but still fun, oh yeah
Tonight’s the night when we have lots of citizen comments
It’s time, oh-oh
I don’t know about you
But I’m feeling 20-22
Everything will be alright if
Council doesn’t change their minds
You don’t know about me
But I’ve got anxiety
That item will pass if
You just hold your breath like it’s 20-22 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
It feels like one of those Tuesdays
We go for hours
It feels like one of those Tuesdays
We won’t be sleeping
It feels like one of those Tuesdays
You look a little bit frazzled
But it’s going to be OK
But it’s going to be OK
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
I don’t know about you
But I’m feeling 20-22
Everything will be alright if (Ooh)
Council doesn’t change their minds
You don’t know about me
But I’ve got anxiety
Everything will be alright if
Council doesn’t change their minds
20-22 (Hopeful like)
20-22 (Yeah, yeah)
20-22 (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It feels like a perfect Tuesday
To go to Council
It feels like a perfect Tuesday
And get that action item passed
It feels like a perfect Tuesday
We’re gonna make it
We did it yeah!
We did it yeah!
