V 1

Why won’t this feeling leave 

And why only him in all the sea

Did love strike that crazy bullet

So near, so far

So now he’s got me thinking

Thinking am I still here?

No gig and it’s been killing me

Deep the dish cause I want the lot

Cherry mounted on the top

So glitch, so funk, so now he’s got me sinking

Sinking into my tears…

Oooh, Oooh, Oh, Oh…Oh, Oh (x2)

Chorus

Juggernaut there’s a mirage in your smile

Split the soul oh pare the apple of my eye

Juggernaut you got me feelin so fine

Flick the switch cause i’m really gonna walk away this time…

Juggernaut you got me feelin so high

Hit me up or did you really wanna say goodbye

Juggernaut this feelin’s so divine

Autograph oh won’t you spill your ink onto my dotted line…

Oooh, Oooh, Oh, Oh…Oh, Oh (x2)

V 2

Why won’t anyone believe in me

And why not the hymn n the fallen bee

Will dove not buy that hazy sonnet

So clear, so mar, so now he’s got me rising

Rising an uphill tier

No rig but somethin’s pullin me

Reap the wish cause I want it hot

Sherry courting winning hop

So bitch, so spunk, so now he’s got me drinking

Drinking up my fears…

Oooh, Oooh, Oh, Oh…Oh, Oh (x2)

Something so simple, that meant so much to me…

White n Black, I Want It Back

Intro

White n Black, I want it back

V 1

You got me silent cursin

Cause I lost you to another

Now my lips are pursin

Ripped out, slipped out, or pulled out

Yeah I take it you’re a pro bro

I gotta notion you’ll getta promotion

A degree in rippin off society

Right before their bleary stare

Memorandum of the unfair

Gun lords jumpin queues

At the fun fair

Angry birds wide eyed

Tweeting happy

Iphones n apathy

Doing it all the wrong way, no way

Burning out sobriety

Tearing through society

What a pity you downsized

To girly size

Ditty n gritty on the outside

Potty hollow on the inner

V 2

Now i’m sunset cruising

Blocked at ten past five O’clock

Grounded hog n little miss piggy

Zombie deep n brain fried

Up-sized n battered on the side

Packed n momentarily unknowns

Big butts sitting tight

Day turning into night

Stuffed n stolen baggage

Sundown, turn around

Pinch my dusty pink

Used to believe

Frequent flies dodging the flu

Train hopped the other way

Took flight wrong day

Yeah you unzipped, ripped n tripped

Stealthily out the beepin door

Armed back down to Southside

Somehow made it’s way

Nabbed from Western pay pack

Locked door you stole my heart

From the holy loud n proud

Chorus

White n Black, I want it back

Dogeared n faded

White n Black, give it Back

Heart seared n jaded…

White n Black, I want it back

Dogeared n faded

White n Black, give it Back

Heart ripped n shaded…

V 3

Pastor pale n hope derailed

Smile back up at the cameras

Mind the gap (fuck ya)

You left ya tracks

Quickest closest thirsty camel

Drink it up, cheap trick, lowlife prick…

But there aint no use cursin

Cause I just wanna go home

Songs, surf n verse n rhyme

Seekin a bout of publicity

Something missing

Lost n found

Surround me air of dumbfounded

Who broke the moralistic

Unjust, where’s the love

Black eyed with no trust

I worked so hard for that you prat

Yeah you twat

White pointer soul destroyer

I don’t care you spent my cash

Cause I’m used to having nothing

Aint the first time

Probably aint gonna be the last time

V 4

You wanna do some time

You should’ve asked me nicely

I probably would’ve handed you

Hands up over the lot

Karmic berried on the top

Did you have a laugh, have a blast

Fill ya hamster holes n crime

With my last dime

About that!

I can bear the feeling

Goldilocked

Trout slap now hear me out

You took away the one thing

That’s kept me going strong

On my long journeys home

So forget my name n toss the rest

Except for just one thing…

Chorus

White n Black, I want it back

Dogeared n faded

White n Black, give it back

Heart seared n jaded…

White n Black, I want it back

Dogeared n faded

White n Black, give it Back

Heart ripped n shaded…

V 5

Fuck the crime n fuck the dime

Drink ya poison shimmer wine

On the sublimed

On the house you lowlife, with no life

Cause in my mind

He’s my only fan

And it’s worth more

To my bruised n broken heart

Than all the cash

In the whole friggin world

The one that got away

Knuckle wrap

Sod of the law

All year long

Bridge

United Kingdom & New Zealand

I took that with me everywhere

Cause that’s all I had of him

And he’s probably with another

Another lover anyway

But I want it back, need it back

Chorus

White n Black, I want it back

Dogeared n faded

White n Black, give it Back

Heart seared n jaded…

White n Black, I want it back

Dogeared n faded

White n Black, give it Back

Heart ripped n shaded…

Outro

His business card

Printed n splintered

Dog-eared n faded…

White n Black, I want it back (repeat…fade out)

😦

I’ve had the chorus (lyrics/melody) for this in my head for six months now…the rest just came to me now. I still have another verse to write 🙂  Upbeat track, I hear metal/rock/rap in this one

If I’m Gonna Win Your Heart

Pleaded with you ’cause I needed you
To tell me how you feel
Never believed my heart could lie, so added it up
That you never sold me to the rain
I pushed me hard into that train
Shattered n splattered
Inside out, wanting to believe
Ripped to shreds (oh yeah)
I try to go, but I come back again
Cause I believe in you, yeah you
And the funny thing is, time after time, deep n down
Still I do, yeah still I do…but don’t you want me?
Don’t you want me too?
It’s been five years, six years, maybe more
And I’ve spent em all alone
On the inside, down n out
Anyhow, I guess it could be seven now
But I don’t know anymore
Cause I’ve been losing track of time
Yeah my days n years of mixed up madness…
They’re all snowed into one now
It’s been a long road, lonely road, living without you
And there’s a dent left in my soul
On the flipside, hot n cold
Anyhow, you got the crown now
But I won’t lose anymore
Cause I’ve been foolish with my dignity
Yeah my long n lonely road to gladness…
That’s all flowed into song now

Chorus:
If I’m gonna win your heart
If I’m gonna make you see 
I know…..
I’ve gotta lotta lotta lotta lotta lotta lotta 
Work to do….
If I’m gonna win your heart
If I’m gonna win your soul
I’ve gotta lotta lotta lotta lotta lotta lotta 
Work to do……………

 

 

 

Need to work on lyrics for this one – I have the melody…

CHORDS

C7  (picking pattern t, m, i,)

Emin, Amin, F7?, C

Blue Rose Rain

Verse 1:

Red hearts burn like live wire

Across the early morning sky

Send shock waves from me to you

Deep right now n to the core

Feels so long, so far, I held those hands

Tryna push away into another day

While in the next room echoes of laughter

Broke our spell as we fell

Verse 2:

Now Blue Rose Rain pelts a perfect storm

Against our window pane

Closing eyes inside sees it all too brightly

But I can’t turn away

Summertime hue takes on perfect form

But nothing can ease this pain

Brilliant disguise lifting up so lightly

But I can’t turn away

(No I can’t turn away)

VERSE 3:

You took your smile to across the road

Instead of here, without me

So shattered pieces of our sun 

Cry onto your shirt that’s left undone

Maybe I’ll never know about your love

It’s something I may never have

So I guess my world will be a desert night

Without the moon to lead the way

Without the moon to lead the way

(Without the moon to lead the way)

January 2016

Yeah, another one 🙂

26/04/17

I’ve had the melody for this for a long time – About time to turn it into a song now!

Up In The Astral

Intro
Holding on tight to nothing (nothing but you)
Hanging on with all my might to nothing (nothing but you)

Verse 1
How do I survive the time 
That keeps us separated
Bring it on, you’re the bomb
So keep it regulated
I’m so high in the sky
Think I modulated
I won’t lie, can’t say goodbye
Cause love inoculated

Pre-Chorus 1
You’re gold
And I’m the fool
Backstreet then n now
Inside on the outside
Downhearted since
Friday night gone

Chorus
Meet me tonight
Up in the Astral
My heart, your heart
Skip n beat
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Oh come with me tonight
Up in the Astral
Let’s light the sky, you and I
Firefly high
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Verse 2
How do I kill the chime that’s
Playing on our radio
Can’t deny you’re the guy
I want to call my Romeo
You’re so fine, priceless wine
Got me elevated
I won’t lie I’m petrified
This love is unrequited

Pre-chorus 2
I’m rose
And you’re my blue
Always here n there
Stronger on the inside
Roller coastin since
Last summer gone

Chorus
Meet me tonight
Up in the Astral
My heart, your heart
Skip n beat
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Oh come with me tonight
Up in the Astral
Let’s light the sky, you and I
Firefly high
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Verse 3
How do I walk away from
Something so delectable
Is it a crime I crossed the line
I know you stipulated
Now I pray every day
Cause I’m dedicated
I won’t lie can’t let it slip away
A love so underrated

Bridge (repeat Intro) (step up pitch here so final chorus is higher)
Holding on tight to nothing (nothing but you)
Hanging on with all my might to nothing (nothing but you)

Chorus
Meet me tonight
Up in the Astral
My heart, your heart
Skip n beat
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Oh come with me tonight
Up in the Astral
Let’s light the sky, you and I
Firefly high
Dynamite love
Up in the Astral

Outro (fade out, fast rap)
Rollercosted so fast, so long
Wanted to jump off
Yell it to stop and let you go
But baby I can’t, no I can’t
Now fears are yous
My my tears are yours 
So sorry but I want you
Yeah I want you
Yeah I still want you so (fuckn) bad

 

 

The last track to feature on my Love Struck (Disk 1) 2015/16 Album

16/05/17 (update)

Just viewing the lyrics for this song hurts.  Not just because of letting go of ‘him’ the guy I fell for…but also letting go in general.  It’s time to work on it and get it right – try not to be too emotional (which of course is hard for me)

18/03/18 – Turns out it wasn’t the last song in the Lovestruck album after all  🙂

Letting You go

V1

I’m starin at the walls that block me in and lock you outside

Fire screamin lover like never before

No I can’t give you any more you nearly have me all

So I’m slowin down to hand you the reins

V2

I’m wonderin if you’ll ever know how I feel right now

Why I can’t live another day shot to the floor

No I can’t be singin while i’m runnin out of air

So I’m savin my last breath for our Song

Chorus

I’m Letting You Go now

Yeah i’m settin you fr-e-e-e

But before I go i’m writing a song

(Yeah I’m sittin here writing our song)

So you’ll always remember me

I’m letting, yeah I’m Letting You Go now (o-h-h-h-h-h-h)

I’m setting you fr-e-e-e

But before I go i’m writing our song

(Yeah this is our melody)

So you can always find your way back to me…

V3 (x2)

I’m thirstin for that wild storm our blue rose rain

Higher makin out like we’ve done this before…

No I can’t be flyin in sunshine without a sound

So I’m turnin round and  leaving you the key

Chorus:
