It goes a little something like this…

18/03/18 I’ve always had the melody for this song…I better get some chords happening. Not sure if i’m allowed the ‘google’ bit in there ?? I could ‘beep’ it out so it’s suggestive instead

9/07/18 – Currently working this melody into some chords…

 

Balcony Burnin

No Capo

Verses:

Am G  Am  G

Chorus:

F config – slide up then down

Intro/Pre-chorus:

Sound the bugle (I wanna sue google)

Screaming Jets got it right (hit the nail)

Now it’s me writing a sad song 

VERSE 1

Woke up this morning alone again

It’s cold and my heart is aching

Feelin like I’ve lost a part of me

Yeah you got that part of me

Feel like I’ve fallen from heaven down to hell

So bold, I guess (when you looked at me that way)

you must’ve just been faking

VERSE 2

Pick up the pieces n start again

Don’t fold cause we got the making

Feelin like i’m lost at sea

Yeah you woke that part of me

Stop me from fallin, forever again

It’s gold that you must be forsaking

BRIDGE

Call the fire brigade on this love parade

CHORUS

Our Balcony is Burnin 

Lonely hearts are churnin

Our Balcony is Burnin

Stop the world turnin

Our balcony is burnin burnin burnin to the ground

VERSE 3

A picture of us I was tracing

I even started etching you for the taking

Losin faith in what could be

(Yeah) You stole that from me

Stop me from falling, sever this again

Take hold, I can’t, no I won’t let you see me breakin

 This comes from somewhere deeper than the heart…

V1

Dark knight fallin stone throw away

Humble gem glimmerin clear as day

Echo beat deepenin white n blue

There’s a lowdown Motown pot black n cue

Lonely hearts smolder at the water’s bay

Bright light yearnin wants you to stay

Dusty winds howlin power of few

Please slow down wild sounds n soften the hue

 

Bridge

No need for English, French or Chinese bling

We got it goin on without doin a thing

No need for English, French or Chinese blah

We got it goin on without sayin a thing

I got a feelin deep in my soul…

Baby you’re the one I’ve been waitin for

 

Chorus

We gotta Blue Rose Star

And it’s shinin in our secret sky

I can see it when I close my eyes

I can see our Blue Rose Star

We gotta Blue Rose Star

And it’s burnin bright across the sky

Can you see it when you close your eyes

Can you see our Blue Rose Star?

 

V2

Rainin down over mastermindin May

Castle stairs leadin up to the hay

Rusty hearts gallop cause it’s overdue

Movin faster now racin no escapin what’s true

Fireworks flyin a colourful ray

Lost souls missin another day

Down on my knees if only you knew

I’m walkin the mile, gonna change your view

 

Bridge

 

Chorus
