Re: Songwriting Contest #2: go ahead do it again

Untitled

These paths that I walk upon
Remind me of the cobblestone roads
Of Church Street
That my feet have never touched

This glass of brandy I hold
In the midnight hour
Reminds me of another that I held beside a fire
That grew cold when I hurt you

(Refrain)
And now these maple leaves are fallin’
Outside my window
Deep reds, oranges, mauves, and ambers…
Fall from lonesome cypress trees
That exist in my memory
Where you and I once sat in your driveway
And witnessed our first autumn in February

These dreams that I dream
Remind me that I am still naïve
Still a child in many ways
Unaware that dreams seldom come true

This guitar that I’m singin’ on
Reminds me of the one you gave me
That had too much meaning for me
To play on

(Refrain)
Oh, these maple leaves are falling
Outside my window
Deep reds, oranges, mauves, and ambers…
Fall from lonesome cypress trees
That exist in my memory
Where you and I once sat in your driveway
And witnessed our last autumn in February

<u> Hands </u>


Now We're living in this day and age

Where everybody you know

can either play a guitar

or play something there in the middle

What chance do I have?


Now I walk down this empty street

where blank faced urchins beg fo change

and hungry men look for an answer to the riddle

With their backs against the wall


Would I pass

For one of you?

If we passed each - other on the stairs

Would I pass

For one of you

Put your hands up in the air


Put your hands up for the broken hearted

Put your hands up for the newly parted


Now I stand upon a rooftop

Lookin out over a complex which once was home

and now shelters the forgotten

Syringes and broken glass


Pickin' up the telephone

Diallin' numbers to attone for what Ive done

and yet I can still remember

My reflection in your eyes


Would I pass

For one of you

If we passed each other on the stairs

Would I pass

For one of you

Put your hands up in the air


Put your hands up for the broken hearted

Put your hands up for the newly parted


(Guitar Fill)


(Yeh) Put your hands up for the newly parted (To Fade)

Re: Songwriting Contest #2: go ahead do it again

if I could see


If I could see, then I could see

If I could be, there's no need to see

where will I be?

If I could talk, then I could really talk

wouldnt have to walk, all I do is talk

where would I walk?


If I could see the stars

If I could see the rain

If I could find a purpose

there would be no pain


if I could see, then I would be

there's no need to see, If I could be

what would I see?

have no need to talk, no need to walk

cant find my tongue to talk, go on a walk

I want to talk


If I could see the moon

If i could see the sea

If I could find a reason

to be me


If I could run away and hide in a hole

there would be no warnings on a pole

I'd hide in there forver until i could see

the reasons i hide

if I could only see.

Re: Songwriting Contest #2: go ahead do it again

i'm grotty


You know I pick my nose and I shave my hair

I'm 39 years old but I dont care

I bite my toenails when the water is hot

I try to get rid of the scabies that I got


chorus


I'm grotty

I'm disgusting

I smell like a pig and I look like a rat's arse

I'm grotty

I'm di.... sgus....ting


I stick my finger up my bum and I give it a sniff

all day long i keep getting a whiff

for dental floss I use my pubes

the dirt from between my toes I turn into cubes


chorus


Break

Sometimes I wash when I get up

sometimes I drink urine from a cup

and when im hungry I get bye

from eating an out of date cherry pie


I eat my earwax coz  i think it is nice

sometimes I feel sick but thats the price

I use my soiled boxer shorts as a face mask

i like sucking dirty toes after drinking a cask


chorus

Re: Songwriting Contest #2: go ahead do it again

Its the one set of arms you wanted round you,

to hold you close, remove your fears.

Every time she gets too close now

you have to stifle back your tears.


Never felt like she was yours

Though she always held your cure

never thought thered come that day

that she'd up and walk away


you never told her that you love her

you never told her how you feel

and what she seems to have with him now,

is what you longed and ached to feel.


It's what you are, its where you're from

Please tell me, o innocent one

Where've ya been? Who're ya gonna see?

Were ya ever gonna tell me?


It's in your eyes, it's in your smile

you're nothing but an innocent child

from where you've been, from who you're gonna see

don't let them take you innocence away from me


this hawkish girl turned to innocent dove

makes me pray to the heavens above

never felt this faith before

removed my doubts as the white dove soared


Can't be your lover, I'm a decadent whore,

can't take away your innocent core

the beauty inside you, bright as can be

blots out the darkness, that's deep within me...


But its been too long and we've come too far

Reaching out and almost touching the stars

moonlight glistens over all I can see

you and your glistening is all that I need


its a mindf**k baby, its a mindf**k now

I hope to hell you see that somehow

I'm not everything you want nor everything you need

but if you cut me its you that I bleed


I'm hopeless scum, we've been here before

don't wanna make you a decadent whore

you need to get the hell away from me

get some perspective and see what I see..


i'm hard to forget, to get off your mind

try as as you like, you'll simply find

you can't block the memories of me

try your best but me, you'll still see.

Re: Songwriting Contest #2: go ahead do it again

why not...

         

             Teenage Crank Whore


I was a teenage crank whore.. I was livin large

Just a teenage crank whore cookin in mom's garage

I'd lay up fer weeks and weeks

With booze and dope and tweakin freaks

I was a teenage crank whore but I ain't no more.


I was a teenage crank whore.. once my life was good

Just a teenage crank whore crusin the neighborhood

Stealin stuff that I could hock

Tradin mom's T.V. for a big ole rock

I was a teenage crank whore but I ain't no more.


I was a teenage crank whore.. once I had it all

Nothin but a teenage crank whore bangin dope and

climbin the walls

If I wasn't buyin, boys I was sellin

Got wound to tight and now I'm a felon

I was a teenage crank whore but I ain't no more

     (repeat last line and end.)

peace...Slim

Re: Songwriting Contest #2: go ahead do it again

<b>KiLL ME</b>


Bone against skin

against a dusty floor

learning A learning B

learn the rotten Core

If your daddy is rich

your mother is a w****

n then you'll never scrape your knees

across the factory floor


Learning wrong, acting right

is the golden rule

n you aint got no right

no f****** matter who

you think you are, or what you say

a life is nothing

but another spell


Kill me <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_twisted.gif" border=0 alt="Twisted Evil">

K-k-k-Kill me


we're damned to be a spine

dressed up in this skin

breaking rocks for the man

for the big company

makin enough to live

a life of a rat

while they all guzzle grease

n just getting fat


K-k-k-Kill me




Please tell me if I've spelled anything wrong!

after all I'm just a swedish hard-rock/punk/rocknroll:band singer

n some critique (good or bad) is still the best you can get as a musician, at least thats  my opinion

yeah <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">



spaminator:again i edited some stuff

Re: Songwriting Contest #2: go ahead do it again

well heres mine:

the ballad of the lost


two hearts left to rome

alone in this cold cold world

it wont her she swears

but that wont what he was told


both set out for the horizon

on a cold dark night

youda thought the wind woulda froze em

but they kept on with all their might


no more secret lover visits

no more hiding in the dark

maybe its what they wanted

then again maybe its not


(instumental break- bluesy guitar with harsh rythem)


an old man visits

she goes out on the town

maybe destiny is calling

but she hears voices all around


he looks around ST. Marks

and finds a little girl

another lover for the man

who's honor cant be found


theyre caught again in the folds

of other bad relations

they mighta been right for each other

and just needed a vacation


(shorter guitar solo- use a major mode)


A small litte tranquil town

just out side just outside new orleans

a rope still hangs in the tree

where that devilish fiend was hung

Re: Songwriting Contest #2: go ahead do it again

if up your kilt can post 2 songs then so can i


dirty angel


fightin with love

and all its desire

the dirty angel

walks through fire


lusting for

something more

the dirty angel

hits the floor


aint nobody gonna tell her what to do

oh, she lives life how she wants too

dirty angel



drop dead looks

her loves a disaster

oh my that girl

couldn't move on faster


no time for chit chat

no time for love

oh my that girl

shes a black dove


aint nobody gonna tell her what to do

oh, she lives life how she wants too

dirty angel


(solo)



so many men

still livin in the past

she swept by

stole their hearts at the first glance

and now we wonder

will she ever settle down

the end aint in sight

gas pedels on the ground


aint nobody gonna tell her what to do

oh, she lives life how she wants too

dirty angel

ooh ooh

shes a dirty angel

no hope for her

uh uh

no tellin what shes gonna do

dirty dirty angel


she lives life how she wants too

dirty angel
