Topic: Political Slime & Soul Companion

The following words came to mind one stormy winters day so i put them on paper - there are no chords - so to all the Hank Marvins out there feel free.

POLITICAL SLIME
Political scumbag, swimming in the gutter
Giving to all with a smiling stutter
with your false white gleaming smile
promising the earth to deliver nothing
lying to the old, smiling to the young
delivering nothing to every single one
slithering thru the promises of lies
governments how we despise
all your false and shallow lies

to the old weak and weary
this sad facade is old and dreary
the sun shines on hopes of gold
to prevent the fear of growing old
to stay young and be forever in the sight
of that slimy political blight
on the world of tomorrow
that will never come
for the old, tired and weak of sight

that false political smile
will force you to your knees
to bend before the mighty breeze
of that false political ease
how we hope to cherish
all of the policies that will perish
along with the political slime
that shall surely have its time
when the forces of good and just
say it is time to stop mistrust
and end the evil ways
of dangerous political days


after seeing how many  happily married people there are on Chordie i thought that i would share something that i wrote for my wife -  ps - i was dead sober at the time.

SOUL COMPANION
To be the woman
to see the man
how can we feel
all that is good
the mind is free the soul is kind
to the woman of my mind
who is the kind
of my soul, easy and free
the woman of mine
the spirit of style
the soul of kindred spirits
who is forever mine
the body is fine
the mind is free
the spirit is good
kind, easy and free ,,
how much my woman
I love thee.

there you have it. once more no chords .after this bit of inspiration i wrote another 18 songs poems quattrains mind rambles whatever you would like to call them.

Re: Political Slime & Soul Companion

Goodmorning Buvvy!
from a cold "Emerald Isle,

Have you been reading our news of late ?  lol Political Slime" Is a excellent piece of writing .
I guess theres loads here who will apply a melody and chords to same. It will sound great im sure.

Soul Companion" is a beautiful peace.  From the core of your heart and soul.   This is where love resides i believe, so well
done for expressing it in such an artful way.

Thank You"

Re: Political Slime & Soul Companion

hi buvvy you sure can write them,two for the price of one,how about yuou putting some chords in cause you already have the tune in your head,then we can get a better feeling to the songs....stay cool

love is life ,life is for love,keep a true heart and live life to the full....stay cool

Re: Political Slime & Soul Companion

Hey daddycool thankx for the kind comments. Bel ieve it or not i have no tune of any kind in my head when i write. The words flow faster than i can write them so i just put them down. I also cannot sing a note remotely in tune so i tend not to ever fiddle with a guitar and my ''compositions''. I realise that this must make my efforts seem half-hearted but my writings tend to flow on poetic lines so i am happy to let superior musicians make them sound like something musical.

Re: Political Slime & Soul Companion

Hi Buvvy,

I love the words you wrote for SWAMBO ('She Who Always Must Be Obeyed' for the uninitiated) but then again I am a big romatic fool so I love songs are my thing.

FYI, this is how 'completed' works are posted. Just thought I'd include this fine, helpful link(sticky).

Give everything but up.

Re: Political Slime & Soul Companion

I was particulary impressed with these words as I stated earlier so after reading them I threw some chords at them and recorded for Buvvy to hear. As he seems quite happy with them I have posted them here.

I have to add that from reading the words to sending the recording to Buvvy it took less than an hour as I was only wanting to show him what can be done but I have decided to upload the rough recording to Friends of Chordie anyhow: http://www.myspace.com/friendsofchordie
