Cool melody/lyrics came from nowhere this morning on my way to train station.   Upbeat/happy/sad track. Must try remember, which won’t be difficult seeing as I can’t get it outta my head 🙂

Decided to leave lyrics as a repetitive ‘ballad’.  I can add colour with the music 🎶

Capo – 1st fret

Chords:  Amin, G

(sometimes a C in there too)

Given this one is very simple, i’ll Need to do a variation, like up the pitch for final bit

(First Draft)

I should have listened from the start when you told me

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have listened from the start when you told me to go

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have listened from the start

I should have know that you were gonna break my heart

Did you know it all along that you were gonna string me along

Did you plan it from day one that you were gonna string me along

Did you know that i’d be writing this song?

I should have listened from the start when you told me

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

Was it your plan all along to string me along

Did you know it from day one that i’d be writing this song?

I should have listened from the start when you told me

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have listened from the start

I should have known that you were gonna break my heart

Did you know it from day one that you were gonna string me along

I should have listened from the start when you told me

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have know it from the start that you were gonna break my heart

Was it your plan all along to string me along

Knowing one day I’d be writing our song

I should have listened from the start when you told me to go

Instead I let you hold me then go cold on me

I should have listen from the start

I should have known that you were gonna break my heart

Yeah I should have known it from the start that you were gonna

You were gonna break my heart

I should have known it from the start that you were gonna break my heart

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I drifted off last night.

I’ll no doubt turn this into a song…

5/10/17  I was originally playing this with open chords, Capo 2nd fret.  Similar chords, as usual…and so last night I moved Capo to 9th fret and the pattern is more like what I want for this song.  I love that sweet melody up the neck.  This means I have to sing it a bit ‘lower’ (which is nice with the higher finger picking pattern) but I think I could alter the vocals a little to add some harmonic color.  And so…..

9/10/17

I’m really loving this song.  Makes me realize how far I’ve come on my songwriting journey

I think I need a ‘bridge’ between Verse & Choruses

 

(Latest)  🙂 

Lyrics still need work – this is my first draft

 

 

 

 

 

New song.  I can hear a melody for chorus  🙂

Need to try to rap this, if I ever learn how.  Or turn it into 4 verses and sing it presto!

14/5/17 Working on the chords now, and given it’s essence, I have decided to place this song in the ‘Little Blue Dot’ album… 🙂

Capo 2nd fret ?? >> just ideas atm.  I need a guitarist to help cause my playing isn’t good enough.

I CAN DIVE INTO YOU

V1

It’s been a long long time

So excuse me if I got messy on your territory

But I had to see your smile, your sweet face for a while

I needed your voice to remind me

(To tell me what to do………)

And as you pushed me away

I touched the little black hearts on your white white shirt

And I know it was wrong that I touched your skin

(And is that such a sin)

Since you’ve been turning me on for so long?

V2

You told me to go n sit at the other bar

To get outta your space n stop sending you my energy

But it’s impossible to hide cause it comes from the inside

Electric blue you remind me

(Of what keeps us alive………)

But i’m ushered to the side

So I push a little more as you push me out the door

And as i’m walking away I smile to disguise the water in my eyes

But you’re not looking anyway….

(And then I realise)

Chorus

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a peep

Now you’re gonna reap it s-w-e-e-t

We’ll never fail only sail

(o-h-h-h-h-h)

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a treat

You always sweep me off me f-e-e-t

We’ll never fail never bail (o-h-h-h-h)

V3

Hopped the wrong train home

On my way to Freo in a carriage all alone

Had to straighten up as the clock struck eleven

Proceeded the right way

(Back on track to do it all again…..)

Nearly gotta fine

And when they asked for my ticket n asked for my ID

I cried “I got a broken heart n can’t remember my name”

Nothing new yeah they’ve heard it all before

(And then it hit me)

Chorus

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a peep

Now you’re gonna reap it s-w-e-e-t

We’ll never fail only sail

(o-h-h-h-h-h)

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a treat

You always sweep me off me f-e-e-t

We’ll never fail never bail (o-h-h-h-h)

V4

Lost in the city with one hour till departure

I met a homeless old man who kinda looked gin

Like he’s walked a thousand miles trying to kill the fever

So I gave him my last ciggy n paid for his supper

(While he told me his story….)

I told him mine too n said I’d buy him a house

When I make it up the ladder with a one hit wonder

So I sang it to him blue n gave a slice of our song

And from outta the trash can….

…………………………………………………………………………..

In his sad eyes I saw a flash of hope

A broken smile that took me by surprise

And it kinda got me thinking at least we gotta a song

And even if i’m wrong, at least we’ve got that

A flash of hope burning out bright…

Against the blue, blue lights in the city tonight

(As midnight strikes….)

Chorus 1 & 2

You’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a peep

Now you’re gonna reap it s-w-e-e-t

We’ll never fail only sail

(o-h-h-h-h-h)

Yeah you’re Scorpio like DiCaprio

So I can dive into you

Cause you’re deep & you’re steep

And you’ve given me a treat

You always sweep me off me f-e-e-t

We’ll never fail never bail

(o-h-h-h-h)

New song – I have a melodic idea in my mind 🙂  Just working on lyrics

Long catchy chorus.  Hmmm, or maybe just another long song ->> will put into structure once I know how it’s going to be

** I  was going to do this on electric, but I like it on acoustic – it’s got a ‘trash can’ kind of sound because of the chords – just need some snare drums

Verse 1

I’ve got a funny feeling he’s looking at me

While you’re probably looking at her

And I can’t help wonder does she ever catch your stare

And try to hold you there

That place I long to be, lost in you

And it’s kinda got me thinking that life’s unfair

Oh I gave you my heart,

I gave it to you bare, got trapped in your snare

(Tell me did you toss it in the trash can?)

Pre-chorus

Now I see it crystal clear

That maybe you never did care

Chorus

So tell me, tell me, tell me…

Did I get it all wrong?

And did I write the wrong song?

And is there something you forgot to say?

Like ‘I wish you’d go away’?

Oh baby give it to me soon & give it to me straight

Pretty please…

Stop right there before tomorrow comes

Please stop dragging my heart around

(So I can dig it out the trash can)

Verse 2

I’m still the one who wants to be with you

While you probably want to be with her

And I can’t help wonder if she’s ever held your hand at the fun fair

And touched the sun in your hair

That place I long to be, caught up in you

And it’s kinda got me sinking down into your lair

Oh I gave you our song,

I gave you my air, tried to write it like a prayer

(Tell me did you toss it in the trash can?)

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Bridge??

TO FINISH 

Chorus

Twenty Four Seven I got you on my mind

Twenty Four Seven I ? see your smile

Twenty Four Seven I wanna make you mine

Twenty Four Seven ? drivin me insane

Verse

I got butterflies here n there

I got them everywhere

Lemon ones migrating

From crazy town to la Roux

Dusky Knight n devil blue

Cause i’m sitting here at work

And all I can think of is you

My heart is jumping up

My heart is thumping down

Cause i’m sitting here at work

And all I can think of is you

Chorus

Twenty Four Seven I got you on my mind

Twenty Four Seven I ? see your smile

Twenty Four Seven I wanna make you mine

Twenty Four Seven drivin me insane

Verse 1

People keep on telling me

That I should forget about you & me

They say it’s all just a faded memory

And that you & me will never be…

So I turn & hide my face so they can’t see

The tears well up from inside and out of me

And I choke back their words…

Cause I don’t wanna believe

That you & me

No you & me will never be

Verse 2

And people keep on telling me

That I should look to finding someone new

They say that anyone will do

Anyone not you…

So I turn my back on them and walk away

So I can’t hear the words they say

And I try to close my ears…

Cause I don’t want to believe

That you’re not

No you’re not the one for me

CHORUS 1

We’re not together in the physical

But we got something that they can’t see

Yeah you & me we’re the bomb

Cause we got that

Chemistry, Chemistry, Chemistry

So why don’t you just marry me

So we can work on our God-given formula

 

Verse 3

People laugh & and stare at me

When I tell ’em I’m still in love with you

They say it’s all just a schoolgirl fantasy

And that I should start livin in the 21st century

So I block ’em from mind and rewind to the time

When you held me in your arms

And my heart starts skipping beats…

Cause I don’t wanna believe

That love can’t be true in the 21st century

CHORUS 2

We’re not together in the physical

But we got something that they can’t see

Yeah you & me we’re the bomb

Cause we got that

Chemistry, Chemistry, Chemistry

So why don’t you just marry me

So we can show the world how true love’s meant to be

Verse 4

Now baby you’re the one who’s tellin me

That I should forget about you & me

I guess your heart’s not free

And I’m not the one who holds the key…

So I’ll turn my back on you and walk away

So I can’t hear the words you say

And just pretend that i’m OK…

Cause I don’t wanna believe

That i’m not

No i’m not the one who holds the key

CHORUS 1 + 2

We’re not together in the physical

But we got something that they can’t see

Yeah you & me we’re the bomb

Cause we got that

Chemistry, Chemistry, Chemistry

So why don’t you just marry me

So we can work on our God-given formula

Yeah you & me we’re the bomb

Cause we got that

Chemistry, Chemistry, Chemistry

So why don’t you just marry me

So we can show the world how true love’s meant to be

Hmmm,  New song.  Oh dear….This is officially the last song in the Love Stuck album.  Not saying it’ll be the last love song.  Just the final one in this album  🙂

Verse 1

All this time I’ve been learning

Without even knowing

And over time I’ve been growing

So surely it’s showing now

(Damn right it’s showering down now)

Yeah i’m flowering up to the sky

Flowering up to the side

Flowering up n around

And leaning into you sunshine

Pre-Chorus

Could You, Would you, Could You, Would you…?

Chorus

I see your red tie in the distance

Coming towards me

I see my white dress spinning around

Round & Around

I see you take my hand

Oh yeah my hand is yours

I see our diamond ring

I see you n me

Hand in hand

Shining on forever

Verse 2

This lifelong fire it’s been burning

Without ever curbing

And all this time I’ve been waiting

Tables surely turning now

(Damn right it’s coming round now)

Yeah I’m gonna catch you shooting star

Shooting up to the light

Shooting up n around

Yeah shooting into you night time

Pre-Chorus

Could You, Would you, Could You, Would you…?

Chorus

I see your red tie in the distance

Coming towards me

I see my white dress spinning around

Round & Around

I see you take my hand

Oh yeah my hand is yours

I see our diamond ring

I see you n me

Hand in hand

Shining on forever

Pre-Chorus/Bridge

Could You, Would you, Could You, Would you…?

Marry me…

Chorus

I see your red tie in the distance

Coming towards me

I see my white dress spinning around

Round & Around

Oh yeah my hand is yours

I see our diamond ring

I see you n me

Hand in hand

Shining on forever
