Topic: The Sleaze

Another slightly dodgy song by me. You can tell my misspent youth was the 70's to 80's.
https://soundcloud.com/sak-26/the-sleazemp3



The Sleaze
[C]Of course I’ll respect you in the morning he said
[F]As he sat her down on his waterbed
[C]With satin sheets coloured green
[G]She was the prettiest girl he had ever seen
[C]Just relax and have a wine
[G]There’s no hurry we’ll just take our time
[F]That little black dress that she always wore,
[C]looked so much better as it dropped to the floor


[C]She said I have never done this before
[G]As he quietly lock the bedroom door
[F]No need to worry, he gave her a kiss
[C]I am also new to this


[C] And so it went on all though the night
[F] She didn’t really put up much of a fight
[C] All next week he never did call
[G] It’s like nothing had ever happened at all
[C] But something inside her had started to grow
[F] And after five months, was beginning to show
[G] It might not be mine he said with dismay
[C] When he found she was in the family way

[C]She said that’s what it says in the test
[G]I’m keeping the baby, it’s all for the best
[F]And from now on he will have to pay
[G]for what he did on that fateful day.
[F]And now together they are always stuck
[C]All because of a five minute kiss.

Re: The Sleaze

Yeah...I'll comment.
The human hormonal urges and the consequences.

I admire your ability to put words down in such a way..real life drama.

I like it better as a poem rather than a song as suggested.
Just my opinion.

Don't stop writing songs...I wish I could.

Thanks Chordie for the years of music and advise.

Re: The Sleaze

I have redone this in the key of A, slowed it down and concentrated more on the words. https://soundcloud.com/sak-26/the-sleaze-in-amp3 so now it is more of a poem set to music. It does make it easier to hear what I am saying.
I would be interested in your opinions.

Re: The Sleaze

Slowing it down helped, in my opinion.

I think the jest of the song is something we can all relate to...we are all human...I hope so anyhow.

I look forward to your next song.

Thanks Chordie for the years of music and advise.

Re: The Sleaze

oh boy, one night stands. in all honesty, i never liked them, haven't listened yet but i will when i've got a minute. you've strung the words together like a pro, and of course this is all too familiar subject to us older folks.
i love the last line where you've changed the obvious rhyme to "kiss". your humour is not lost on me my friend. keep em coming.

Re: The Sleaze

hi beestie, just had a listen and it's good. IMHO a little faster with a stronger rhythm, i played it on the guitar and enjoyed and had a laugh too.

well done.
