Eris Believer
lyrics by Farrell McGovern
To the tune of I'm a Believer by The Monkees.

I though She only lived in fairytales
Stories of Paris and the Trojan War
Eris was out to catch me
Thats the way it seemed.
Floating golden apples filled my dreams

Then I saw Her face, now Im a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
Im in love, Im a believer!
I couldnt leave Her if I tried.

I thought faith was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
Whats the use in tryin?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.

Then I saw Her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave Her if I tried.

I like it.

Except for this line: "Not a trace of doubt in my mind."

Good luck finding a replacement, tho.

Hey Ferrell! The actual song title is "I'm a Believer". "Daydream Believer" is another song entirely, look it up.

Hope to see you at fest BTW! *hugs*

I knew that...but I do have dyslexia, which sometimes lead me to swap two similar things in my mind...lie scissors and garden shears, to give a recent example.

Apparently, when I was a kid, my dad asked me which I prefer, the Beatles or the Monkees and I chose the Monkees. These days, I still prefer the Monkeys, because the Beatles were wonderfull the first 10,000; Great the next 10,000 times...OK the next 10,000 times...etc, etc....to the point where I can't stand them.
