Roger by Hippotaur
1 minute 53 seconds
Another real-life episode turned into song. This one's about a dog.
In one of the short-lived bands I was in, I was sleeping over at one of the band members' house and his dog, Roger, kept trying to get into my room. I put him in another room; put him outside, and even in the garage - nothing worked!
I didn't get a whole lot of sleep that night...
Performed in August, 1985 on guitar; recorded on two 2-track tape decks.

Lyrics
In the middle of the night I awake with such a fright
Your dog's on the floor, scratchin' on my door
The night's for sleep, I won't hear a peep
Banished to your doom in another room
The dog's gonna bark for a long long time
There's nothing you can do when it echoes in your mind
He doesn't want a bone
He doesn't want to sleep
He just wants attention and to
Lick your feet
Sleep at last it seems; drifting back into dreams
Your dog's at my door, back for some more
A moment of innovation and relative isolation
Rover howls real wide in the cold world outside
The dog's gonna bark for a long long time
There's nothing you can do when it echoes in your mind
He doesn't want a bone
He doesn't want to sleep
He just wants attention and to
Lick your feet
The beast's in nature he'll shut up for sure
Your dog's at my toe, barkin' at the window
In the garage, pitiful cries enlarged
Until you hear his plea and you set him free
The dog's gonna bark for a long long time
There's nothing you can do when it echoes in your mind
He doesn't want a bone
He doesn't want to sleep
He just wants attention and to
Lick your feet
