about

This song is Cosmic Bos' entry for the Monthly Music Challenge 2.1 First Impressions.
As this is the first proper MMC for 2024, we decided to go all out and make a Tingle of songs in one, 3 in 1, bargain deal.
So although the song suggests you only get the one chance to make a first impression, we actually have three.

lyrics

You Only Get One Chance to Make a First Impression - lyrics by Andy Jackson

It’s nice to meet you, let me introduce our sound
Multidimensional wizards with singer songwriter backgrounds
Creative expressions our purpose
Improv comedy skimming the surface
But adventure calls so we bag up all the hooks
The unknown sounds requires our ears to take a look
Depths to which we dare to plunder
If we didn’t we would always sit and wonder

Hiding truth in depression
You only get one chance to make a first impression
At any other time a minor discretion
But you only get one chance to make a first impression

Let us start again, hello there my friend
Times a funny thing, like a pickeling of the spaghetti in your head
Just a little glitching matrix
Tiny Battenbergs performing cake tricks
It’s a quandary sure, what was said before still lingers in the mind
But a quick reset and you’ll quickly get a fourth wall break aside
So how do you think it’s going ?
The lyrics are clever but how is it flowing?

creaming over the jam session
You only get one chance to make a first impression
Did you make the grades the only question
You only get one chance to make a first impression

Let’s restart, it was loin groove lacking, we need more of a kick the door down sound
Like a bull going china shopping
We’re hard place rocking and we ain’t messing around
Audio cream to sooth the screaming, musical trifle layered up with meaning
Introductions cause obstructions to what’s really going down
It’s a crutch and a shame construction must begin on fertile solid ground
Unconscious bias means I mention Taylor
Swiftly provokes rabid viral behaviour

Warping ideas is our main profession
You only get one chance to make a first impression
Swirly dirly musical expression
You only get one chance to make a first impression
All the delights of our delicatessen
You only got one chance to make a first impression
Perfect pitching harmonic progression
You only get one chance to make a first impression
