New song lyrics coming to me now 😊

Is your heart on standby

Oh Gucci handbag

Flippin like a flag

To the beat of his mambo

Sweet sweet torture

Waitin for his court ya

Runnin like a jaguar

To the heat of his tango

Lettin go is hard.  This is how it feels…

Verse 1

Wanna send him a message

Not sure that he’ll get it

So she’ll prob’ly regret it

Instead it’s wine n cigarettes

Vagabond skies n mountin debts

Sunset melted golden nuggets

Escapin through his turrets?

Blue blue dye spellin March goodbye

?

I now know that love & madness go hand-in-hand.

Verse 1

Alone in the dark wonderin where you are tonight

Love sick my mind’s playin tricks

Stars in the sky & they’re shaped like bricks

I see you out throwin darts

I see you out breakin hearts

Contemplatin givin into temptation

I see you in a crowded house

I see you losin sight

Monkey nuts and footy fights

Are you gonna let her win

Snake bites, black tights

Are you gonna let her in

Chorus

I walk from room-to-room

Heart beats off the chart

Skippin from tune-to-tune

Clock tickin boom-boom

There’s somethin wrong

Where’s the clarity

Did someone knock the aerial

Now it’s spinnin like a ferris wheel

Channel’s glitchin out spellin doubt

Or am I losin my sensual ability

Tell me did the sun already set on our horizon

For cryin out loud in this Lunatic Asylum 

Verse 2

Party poppers spark with laughter down the street

Drop-kicked my heart’s in the ditch

Mars in the sky & she’s draped like a witch

I think i’m goin blind

I think i’m losin my mind

Contemplatin sinkin into hibernation

I think i’m in a madhouse

I think i’m in the hot seat

Coconuts and moonlit nights

Why won’t you let me win

Lovers deep, submarine

Why won’t you let me in

Chorus

I walk from room-to-room

Heart beats off the chart

Skippin from tune-to-tune

Clock tickin boom-boom

There’s somethin wrong

Where’s the clarity

Did someone knock the aerial

Now it’s spinnin like a ferris wheel

Channel’s glitchin out spellin doubt

Or am I losin my sensual ability

Tell me did the sun already set on our horizon

For cryin out loud in this Lunatic Asylum 

New song forming — again! This one hasn’t taken long – melody and lyrics started to come to me late last night…and now I’m starting to wonder whether the Lovestruck album will ever really be finished.

Work in progress !

27/12/17 – Pretty much got these lyrics how I want them…not sure whether to include ‘morning’ into the punch line yet.  Time will tell 🙂

29/12/17 – Wow i’m really struggling with the lyrics now.  I get a bit carried away sometimes and often make a mess of what was possibly ‘ok’

31/12/17 – lyrics need simplifying/minimising in middle section.  Working on this song later

 

Capo 1

Verse(s):

Dm    Am   G        F     Dm    Am   G        F

G          G         F      G      G

Dm    Am

G        F

Dm    Am

G       F

‘Rap’ section (palm mute rhythm)

Occilates mostly between:

G5   D5   G5   G#5  D5    C5

Verse 1

If you’ve moved on

Will you tell me before tomorrow comes

And if your heart’s really gone

Will you tell me In Time For The Sun

It’s not because I’m lonely

Or that you owe me anything at all

It’s not because I tried too hard

Or the tears I’ve cried

I just need to know

Before the rain clouds form into a thunder storm

If you’ve moved on

Will you tell me before tomorrow comes

And if your heart’s really gone

Will you tell me In Time For The Sun

‘Rap’

It’s time you zapped the cable to this operatic fable

To this fairy-tale love that’s playin out in my mind

Under your thumb to the gun to the curse of the sun

It’s time to toss em on the table, them cards onto the table

Stop playin the jester while I keep up the pester

Lover don’t run just succumb to the verse of the drum

You’ve been danglin the carrot now i’m soundin like a parrot

Don’t you think it’s time to close the gap n wrap this up?

Cause I need your presence, your effervescence

Lights turned on, don’t turn em out, just hear me out

Drop the needle onto eternity or turn the key n set me free

Verse 2

If you’ve moved on

Will you tell me before tomorrow comes

And if your heart’s really gone

Will you tell me In Time For The Sun

Cause all the time I’ve been holdin out for you

Someone else they got their eyes on me

Layin all their tricks on me

Tryin to steal me away from you

But I’ll never stray or let anyone get in our way

(So quit makin a fool outta me)

If you’ve moved on

Will you tell me before tomorrow comes

And if your heart’s really gone

Will you tell me In Time For The Sun

Will you tell me In Time For The Sun 

Will you tell me In Time For The Sun

Musical idea so far:

[Palm mute, downstrum (U2-style)]

Capo 3rd fret – power chord progression starting on A-string > 5th fret

(starts on D)

Verse 1

Let me tell you last night

It’s the closest I’ve ever got to you

So close I could’ve touched ya

And for a split second i believe that we’re in heaven

Then i’m pulled away back into the dark

I gotta pain in my throat & salt water in my eyes

3am in the early mornin and i’m wonderin if you

Were ever really here at all

Chorus

Oh telephone line

I called you up in my dreams

And after all this time

You finally answered my plea

But when I ask you to be mine

You shatter my soul with just one word

I’m falling down as I come around

Verse 2

I heard you tell me last night

Why i’m never gonna get to be with you

Why I’m never gonna touch ya

Is it all just a hoax is my love for you just a joke?

I’m tryna speak but my heart

Yeah my heart just lost its voice

It’s just a silent scream in the early mornin

Wakin up to the bitter-blue aftertaste of you

Chorus

Oh telephone line

I called you up in my dreams

And after all this time

You finally answered my plea

But when I ask you to be mine

You shatter my soul with just one word

I’m falling down as I come around

Verse 3/Outro

I ask you why you tell me

Why you’re never gonna be mine

We’re warped in time

And my heart stops beatin when you say

That you just don’t feel the same way

The way that I feel about you……

You say it’s all about desire

About Ice cream & Fire

Then you hang up the phone

And you leave me all alone…….

Hot to trot like Ice cream & Fire

And we’re frozen in the night

And you leave my heart to die

You leave me alone with desire

And with nowhere left to go-o-o-o-o-o-o

I go back into my dreams

I go back to that place

To try to find you a-g-a-a-a-a-in

New song – I can hear this in my mind already – it’s kind of cool.  🙂

Chorus

Verse 1

There’ll be no flowers in my hair

So either way I’m bound to lose

Cause I’m coming for you stripped down bare

Yeah I’m coming all alone

Cause there’s nothing left for me to do

So I’m goin with my heart

And baby it’s tearing me apart

Cause you’re gonna see me in the terrace light…

Verse 2

I’ll send my SOS up like a flare

Homeward bound toward your fuse

Cause I’m coming for you tripped out from nowhere

Yeah i’m headed to your zone

Lusted n trusted so tighten the reins

I’m gonna break them chains

So don’t you wander too far

And darlin please don’t let me run away

Verse 3

Just let me into your sun

So I can paint my love on your gun

Cause I long to feel you on my tongue

Feel your heart beat with every step I take

You’re embedded so deeply

I could drown in your touch

So please don’t leave my side

And darlin please don’t leave me alone

Chorus

Summer rays turning winter nights

Friday night long, Oh Flower Song

Can’t see the moonlight

Through your clouded heart

Friday night long, Oh Flower Song

Down that street we lost the beat

Still feel the heat

Friday night long, Oh Flower Song

I love this living hell

Waiting for that midnight bell

Friday night long, Oh Flower Song

Outro

Take my hands

And lead me into your home

Hold me close to your heart & never let me go

Lyrics just came to me…

V1

Struck a match against your flint n dropped it on our kerosene

Lit a path between our hearts

Now we’ve topped the charts

Oh our blaze still flares hot gasoline

Like no time’s passed

And our sun will never go down

Our ship is too strong to drown

You’ll never be gone

No you’ll never be gone

‘Cause now I know

I’m what you want me to be

You n me

We’re holding onto that perfect scene

Ch

No doubt the hardest part

Is that I’ve been so blue without you

No doubt the easy part

Has been staying true to you

You made it so easy to stay true to you

(Now I believe, yeah I believe)

We’ve got the key to eternity

V2

Plucked my string against your glint n propped it there your nicotine

We rocked it from the start

?????

I will turn this into a song…as it is

I know you
I’ve been there too
Split in two
I know you
Love goes on it never ends
She’s in your blood
He’s in mine
We’re the one that got away
Life got in their way
I’ll never make you say goodbye
Not today and not tomorrow
I’ll never try and claim it
Take the years that weren’t ours
Touch the tears that I don’t own
Steal the crown you gave her
Hand me you
Jewels at midnight
I’ll be gentle
If you let me love you
Cause I just wanna love you
Even if you’re broken
Even if you’re broke
Even if there’s nothing left
I’ll take your nothing
Like it’s everything
Trade my heart
Kiss your mouth
Pry you open
Your heart, your mind
Fuck you blind
Speak the truth
Into the night that’s left behind
We can start again
I’ll love you all
Every part good n bad
All that’s left of you
Smile when you feel blue
Take what’s left of you
Give it to me
Give me your heart
Even if it’s broken
I’ll be your number two
I’ll understand
I’ll be there
When you need
When you don’t
Just give me your heart
Fuck the night light
Who needs the daylight
I’ll show you
So give me your heart
