Cool song idea 🙂

Loving this song atm

Capo 2 (or 3)

Verse 1

I wish I was still hot like back when I was twenty

And had a cool name like Machine Gun Kelly

I wish I wrote that song called November Rain

And played it on the main-stage wearing rock star wellies

Yeah I wish the whole world they all knew my game

That they recognized me when they turned on the telly

I wish I was sippin pink champagne on a big jet plane

On my way to Spain, on my way to winning a Grammy

Cause I can’t help thinking if I had it all

Yeah If I Was a Rock Star

I’m pretty sure i’d have you too

Verse 2

I wish I could mix a beat like Benny Benassi

And bring up the heat like Pearl Jam & Blondie

I wish I could paint our picture like Pablo Picasso

And set it on the wall of our fairy-tale castle

Yeah I wish the whole world they all knew my aim

To help fund a cure for Juvenile Diabetes

I wish I wasn’t wingin it solo like i’m lost in a bastille

Lost up in the astral, lost up in vibrato

Cause I can’t help thinkin if I had it all

Yeah If I Was a Rock Star

I’m pretty sure i’d have you too

Verse 3

Will you meet me tonight if I’m dressed like Black Betty

And try to pull it off like back when I was twenty

Will you let me come close and hand you the reins

While the stars in our sky detonate confetti

Yeah I want the world to see love’s got me by the shackles

And it’s driven me wild and it’s driven me insane

Will you meet me tonight n show me how it’s meant to be

How I dream us to be, how I imagine we’ll be

Cause I can’t stop thinkin if I had it all

Yeah If I was a Rock Star 

I’m pretty sure I’d have you too

(Yeah if I do it like a Rock Star)

I’m pretty sure you’d love me too

Outro

Will you catch me if I stumble guide me if I fumble

Make sense of my words if I start to mumble

Will you catch me fallin South & pull me back to North

Slow me down to the East & bring me back to you West

Will you be my rock, be my rock & rock my world tonight

And treat me like you would If I Was A Rock Star

Yeah If I Was A Rock Star

I’m pretty sure i’d have you too

I hear an upbeat happy song here.  I was going to keep this as poetry but it seems a waste when I already have a melody coming for chorus…

Verse 1

I felt the Om Boom from the moment you walked in

Yeah it was love at first sight on that hot summer night

Oh you shook that crowded bar & you looked a shining star

And I felt you grab my heart as you waltzed on by…

I loved you from the start

(I loved you from the moment you walked in)

Chorus

I’m gonna make you mine

Even if we last for just one day

And I’m gonna make you smile

Even if it’s only for one night

Yeah yeah yeah

I’m gonna give give give it away

I’m gonna give give give you my

Blue Rose Bouquet

I’m gonna give give give it away

I’m gonna give give give you my

Blue Rose Bouquet

TO FINISH

Verse 2

Even if I met them all the seven billion people round the world

You’re the only man I’d want to open my door

And you’re still the only man I’ll ever let dance on my floor

Cause I tasted heaven in your kiss

And I felt the angels in your touch

(Now you’re the only man to ever get me at all)

 

 New song budding (again)…pretty deep lyrics.

VERSE 1

Lovin you made a fool outta me

And now I’ve gotta run and hide away

Cause every step forward feels like two steps back

And every step toward you i’m just lamb on a rack

But one day soon I’ll come to say Hi

When I’m strong enough to hear goodbye

Back with grace to where we started

Back to the place where we parted

(You & me face to face)

Tell me then you never felt a thing

Tell my heart it was all just a lie

CHORUS

I’ll let you tell it to me

Tell my heart goodbye

I’ll let you touch me

And push me away for real

I’ll let you crush me

And see my tears for real

I’ll let you tell it

Tell my heart goodbye

I’ll let you show me love, yeah

(Show me, show me, show me love)

(fuck love, fuck love, fuck love)

TO FINISH

VERSE 2

Lovin you made a fool outta me

Or  I’m gonna unlock those cuffs

Set you free n walk away forever. 

Yeah, i’m gonna walk away stronger than ever. 

And you’ll never catch me

Cause I’m gonna fly far far away

And I’ll never fall again

Oh no, I’ll never fall again

Never ever fail again

And if you try to find me

Oh if you try to catch me

Oh if you want me then

You’ll  only hear my echo

Blue rose petals falling

Whispering goodbye from our skies

Cause you left it too late…

And I’ll be gone forever

Yay – came up with a melody for this on my way to work this morning  🙂

Intro – Picking pattern (x2)

Verse 1

Two candles flicker slow in the breeze

And I gotta longing

Yeah I wanna know your middle name

I want everything there is to know about you

Yeah I wanna know the day you were born

I wanna feel you hard n strong in my arms

All night long til we can’t take the pain anymore

Oh-h can you see I want you all?

Verse 2

A million stars rain down over me

And I gotta burning deep inside

That lifts me to higher place I’ve come to know

Tells me everything there is to know about you

Yeah I think I know the place where we were born…

I wanna feel your heart beating strong

Til morning comes to carry us away

Oh-h can you see I want you all?

Chorus (x2)

We could have it all

We could have Eternity…

So when you gonna give

When you gonna give me more?

I say we could have it all

Verse 3

One day I’ll wait forever for you

Cause I gotta yearning

For our kiss again so hard so ecstasy

Your shadow screaming out for my soul…

I wanna feel you breathin deep as you sleep

Til tomorrow comes for all time

O-h-h can you see I want you all?

Chorus

Outro

Last night your wildflowers bled into my dream

Did you hear my scream?

Tell me do we share the same dream

Do you believe

O-h-h do you believe in Eternity?

 

I thought the Love Struck album song list was complete…but I can’t seem to stop writing.  This one is in a major key for a change 🙂

21 Dec

Chorus came to me yesterday, along with the melody too.  It’s kinda cool, plus a little odd since we aren’t even together. Love has got me – I’m completely gone’

Can’t do it 😦 frigging work eating me alive

VERSE 1

Last summer time I tried so hard to walk away

But only reached the horizon before turnin round again

Cause I felt a rush inside like a roller coaster ride

Oh yeah those summer time tides they pulled me back again

Then Autumn time I tried so hard to leave again

But only reached till midnight blues before spinnin round again

Cause I felt so crushed inside like a broken-hearted vase

Oh yeah those Autumn time blues they dragged me back again

Pre-chorus (kinda rap)

Darlin I heard your call

And hearts they just don’t lie

But  I ran too fast n flew too high

A rocket to the sky I passed you by

Now I’m all alone n flyin high

(I’m so lost, I’m so lost, I’m so lost)

I’m so Lost In Ecstasy

CHORUS

There’s just too of much me and not enough you

And I know I gotta call it a day

And I know I gotta walk away

But you’re in my way

Yeah you’re blocking me in

And I just can’t seem to get away

No I just can’t seem to break away

So I guess I’ll stay another day

Totalled in the dark, eclipsed by your heart

Cause I don’t know how to walk away

No I don’t know how to break away

Verse  2

Winter time I tried so hard to close the door

But only took a step before cold air froze me there again

Cause I felt a stab inside with a knife carved outta ice

Oh yeah those winter time icicles blocked me in again

Spring time I tried so hard to fly away again

But only reached the sunset before May day held me there again

Cause I felt a grab inside like a hand wrapped round my heart

Oh yeah those spring time sunsets they called me home again

Outro

I always miss the midnight train

Cause I just can’t bear the pain

Stars they  burns too brightly

And stardust pulls me back again

All alone n flying high

Lost In Ecstasy

Jealous

Verse 1

I don’t mind the girl who sits

Beside you on the train

Or the one who pours your morning brew

And adds the sugar cane

And I don’t mind the pretty girls

Who pass you by each day

Or the ones who get to hear

The sweet words that you say

 

Pre-Chorus

But you’ve got something

Something they’re gonna see

And it breaks me, oh so

(Cause I know, yeah I know, yeah I know)

Maybe tomorrow, next week, next month

Or ten years from now…

Someone’s gonna steal your heart away 

 

Chorus 1

I’m jealous of the girl who’s gonna win your heart

The one you’re gonna love the hardest from the start

I’m so jealous of the girl who’s gonna be your everything

The one you choose to wear your diamond ring

Verse 2

I don’t mind the girl who wants to walk

Beside you in the rain

Or the one who gets pink butterflies 

Each time she hears your name

And I don’t even mind the girl you kissed

For the first time time (come what may)

Or the lonely girls

Who wished that you would stay

Pre-Chorus

But you’ve got something

Something they’re gonna see

And it breaks me, oh so

(Cause I know, yeah I know, yeah I know)

Maybe tomorrow, next week, next month

Or ten years from now…

Someone’s gonna steal your heart away

 

Chorus 2

I’m jealous of the girl who’s gonna win your heart

The one you long to walk beside you blue rose rain

I’m so jealous of the girl who’s gonna be your everything

The one who’s gonna claim your last name

 

Bridge

Cause one day cupid’s gonna aim n fire

And some girl, she’s gonna steal your heart away

Chorus 3

I’m jealous of the girl who’s gonna win your heart

The one you’re gonna love the hardest pink champagne

I’m so jealous of the girl who’s gonna be your everything

The one you choose to wear your diamond ring

Outro

Promise me you choose the girl

The one who’s gonna love you the hardest

(Cause i’ll never be jealous of that girl)

The one who’s gonna love you the way that I do 

The way that I do-o-o-o

The way that I do-o-o-o

New song fluttering it’s way out! Need to work on the structure…

Struggling with the lyrics! Hoping they come to me soon…grrr

 

8/12/17  Yay   🙂  A year has passed and it’s only now I have the chorus idea for this song, which suddenly came to me this morning! (finally)

Capo 1

Chords used (plus variations):

Verses

A    E    A    D    E   A

Chorus

F9 (?)   Em   F    Am

Dm   Am  G  Am

 

Verse 1

Deal em up those cards & give em to me hard

But I ain’t givin in & I ain’t gonna fold

So you can run & hide yer poker face 

I got my mirror on yer Ace

Yeah, I know the hand I want & I ain’t gonna fold

Deal em up those cards & give em even harder

But I ain’t givin up & I ain’t gonna fold

So you can split the pairs you won the race

I’ve given up the chase

I’m kickin back & waitin for the heart of gold

Yeah, I know the hand I want & I ain’t gonna fold

Chorus (x2)

I’m gonna be the one to win your heart

Just you wait and see

I’m gonna prove to you that my love is true

Yeah, I’m gonna make you see

That you’re the only one for me

That you’re the only one for me

Verse 2

Deal em up those cards but you’ll never take me down

No I ain’t gonna buckle & I ain’t gonna fold

So you can gimme another taste of them shotgun blues

But I didn’t come here to lose

Yeah, I know the hand you got & so I ain’t gonna fold

Deal em up those cards but you’ll never take me down

No I ain’t gonna crumble & I ain’t gonna fold

So you can pull the trigger on another round

I’m gonna win the crown

I only wanna hold the hand the one that can’t be sold

Yeah, I know the hand I want & I ain’t gonna fold

Chorus

Bridge

Take me back to the start

And i’ll do it all again

Blindfolded in the cold

Black sun musin to our

Centrefold horizon

If that’s what it’s gonna take to get to you

If that’s what it’s gonna take to get through

Chorus

Outro ?

So toss the rest n let me give you the best

I’ll give you the hand that can’t be sold

Oh yeah, I know the hand I want & I Ain’t Gonna Fold

 

Sad song on the horizon…no chorus or verse segregation as yet.  Might keep it this way

18/03/18 – I love this song.  I have the melody in my head.  Very sad song  😦

 

Take my hand before I lose my mind

Or will you let our love fall away like Quicksand

Through life’s dark n rusted keyhole

That waits forever whitewashed

On a wooden door that creaks a silent sigh

That breaks me down with every sunset

Against a life that needn’t be forlorn anymore…

Oh let me give you my candy

I’ll let you taste my early morning sunrise

While lovebirds sing our melody

Oh lay us down on our horizon

And let Quicksand push against us white gold

And sweep our souls away…

Just one more day for us

(So won’t you let me say goodbye?)

Oh let me take a photograph, a memory

And keep it there forever more

So I can finally let you go…

(Oh darling I’ve let you go now)

Cause I couldn’t make you love me 

And I couldn’t make you stay

So I had to say goodbye 

And let you fly away

Now I’m numb n broken

And my heart just feels like stone

Yeah now I’m lost n lonesome

And so my soul goes on alone

Door closed, heart locked

Love will never take me now

So cold, so dark, so empty

Oh love it never came

It was all just in my head

A fantasy cause true love don’t exist

So I’ve laid love down to rest

(But love it never left me)

So our key is on the ocean floor

Where the sun will never shine

The same place where you left me 

Where no one else can find me

Cause love it hurts too much

And I don’t want it anymore

Cause that thing called love is just a lie

(Yeah love is just a silent cry)

You came and went

Yeah love it never came

Our love it fell away like Quicksand 

(And now my heart is stone)

Yeah my heart just feels like stone

Those blue rose bees again….wrote this in the car, melody n all  🙂

STRUCTURE

Verses (picking pattern) – To confirm this later if not too tired :

Dmin, Gmaj, GaddB?, Cmaj

Emin, Amin, D7

Chorus

Gmaj, Amin, Dmaj, Gmaj 

Verse 1

Is it a sin to feel the way that I do (ohhh)

Is it such a sin that without him I feel blue?

Is it a sin to want him the way that I do (ohhh)

Is it such a sin that I keep tryin to break through?

Is it a sin to think of him the way that I do (ohhh)

Is it such a sin to dream he feels me too?

Bridge

Cause I can feel his yang but I wanna touch his thang

Is it such a sin to want him in my yin?

Cause one n one make two but no one else will do

Oh is it such a sin to love him the way that I do?

Chorus 1

I wanna be the one to turn him on

Yeah I wanna be the one who gets it goin on

I wanna be the one to give him what he needs

Yeah I wanna be the one to follow his lead

Cause one n one make two but no one else will do

Oh is it such a sin to love him the way that I do?

Verse 2

Is it a sin to feel that we belong (ohhh)

Is it such a sin that without him I feel wrong?

Is it a sin to want us to be one (ohhh)

Is it such a sin that I told him in a song?

Is it a sin to believe that we are one (ohhh)

Is it such a sin I keep tryna sound his gong?

Is it a sin to think that we belong (ohhh)

Oh is it such a sin to love him the way that I do?

Chorus 2

I wanna be the one to turn him on 

Yeah I wanna be the one who gets it goin on 

I wanna be the one to spark his lovin seeds

Yeah I wanna be the one to trust his heed

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Outro

Cause I don’t even know him (but I do)

Black n white, Yin n Yang

Now that I’ve found him again (I swear)

I’m never ever gonna give in…

Cause I don’t believe it’s a sin

To love him the way I do

The lyrics for this are just an expression.  A song.   I have a melody for chorus, almost for verses.  And yeah, he’s already got me, so it’s a tough one for me to write. Needs work of course…

Never Ever

Verse 1

I just wanna sleep in, restring & sing about him

About how he tore my ticker out with his bare hands

And left it beating winter raw on our dance floor…

I just wanna grow wings, free fall & never give in

Acrobat before my ticket expires onto his tomorrow land

Bass clef greeting splinter-sure into my slammed door

Chorus

Cause you’re never ever never

No you’re never gonna get me now

No you’re never gonna get me now

Cause it’s time for goodbye 

And goodbyes they hurt

But you’re never gonna get me now

No you’re never gonna get me now…

So you better run hard & you better run fast

If you ever wanna catch me now

If you ever wanna catch my fall

‘Cause you’re never ever never

No you’re never gonna get me now

No you’re never gonna get me now

Verse 2

I just wanna hide away, resurrect & perfect the day

Tilt the world into another plane & just forget the pain

Fast forward to paradise & wake to see him there

Yeah I just want us bare, to touch him there & everywhere

Shipwreck glimpsed his treasure chest then cast me out to sea

High rise sweeper-lure into my heart so foolishly

Chorus

Outro

Never ever all my life, and I wanted you so bad

So long and I’m gone now
