Capo 8

Am,    G

??

 

I’m tired of walkin down a one-way lane

While my love for you is pourin down the drain

Yeah what’s the point in chaste

When love just goes to waste

When all that I can taste is bein replaced

Like you stuck your hand into my chest

And pulled out the rest

Now if I’m ever gonna breathe again

I’m gonna need a Kick-Start

So why don’t you put them fears aside

And gimme what I need

Oh would you be so bold

As to give me your world

(I’ll give it back ten-fold)

And while we’re on the subject of love

Of heart’s rejected, deflected and neglected

Silently perfected n architected

Let me remind you of your deed

Cause you’re the one who planted the seed

Stamped out the sprout n made me believe

So please don’t set the blame on me

Cause it’s outta my control

What’s goin on with our soul

Yeah the only way to put out this red hot coal

Is to drop it down the hole of the cold North Pole

Maybe this will be the last song on the Lovestruck album.  Far out…who knows.

First Draft

VERSE 1

I’ve been checkin out lace

Dresses on those girls they look so pretty

Still I dream one day

I’ll be wearin one too

Cream n boho like a sarong

I’ll wear it ripped & let it come undone

As day turns to night…

Into Black n Blue

BRIDGE:  ??

CHORUS

I’ve walked for years

A thousand miles for you

And If you could see through tempered glass

You’d see…

My heart beats black n blue for you

I’ve cried a thousand tears

I’m a combat in your fields

Oh when you gonna see

My heart beats Black n Blue for you

VERSE 2

I been thinkin bout your face

Petals fallin from my into eternity

Until you turn away

I’ll be leain into you

Screamin dont’t go i’ll sing the next song

I’ll write a hit n let it be a number one

As our ray burns the charts

Into Black n Blue

CHORUS

BRIDGE

There’s a lioness prayin to the sun tonight

Runnin Westward she’s headin for the city lights

Holdin onto a flame that’s burnin from het trampled heart

She’s gonna throw that dart

Up into the broken sky

Watch it rise n fall like a shootin star

Watch it turnin Black n Blue

New song…My heart, totally eclipsed.

Verse 1

Pullin into destiny I’m feelin pure ecstasy

Oh God help me breathe n help me believe

You’re right where I left ya

Standin in the Blue Rose Rain

Nothins changed the buildin looks the same

Oh God help me along n help me be strong

One look and my heart’s engulfed with flames

Oh God help me walk n help me to talk

 

Verse 2

Sittin across the bar wishin you’d turn my way

Oh God give me space n show me his face

There’s a light that surrounds ya

Shinin like a Blue Rose Star

Nothins waned the feelin still remains

Oh God give me a sign I made it in time

One look and my hearts engulfed with flames

Oh God give me it all n show me his soul

 

Rap

It takes just one glance for you to put me in a trance boy

Yeah i’m under ya spell

Buttered up with hell achin to gel

When you toy with my heart boy

It’s like honey bees in my trees

I’m addicted to ya sting contradicted by ya grin

It’s like a king pin beckonin a shark fin circlin

Drivin me to spin spin sugar for the win

So let’s begin…

In a white wishin well

Caught-up in your propella

Spittn out yella just like caramella

A golden acapella…(Yeah) A fuckn best-sella

A wanna-be Cinderella with a knock-back fella

I’m just a girl in a twirl chasin summer swirl

That one n only rainbow pearl

(It’s gotta be big so bring it closer to my…)

Watchin the way that ya darin

While ya gangsta-swearin

Professin not-to-be carin

While i’m overbearin smoke-flarin perfect-pairin

Yeah you got me got me pushin all in…

Record-pressin flat-packin back-pattin

Into ya Black Cord Hoodie

And I know i’m just a girl

But in that Black Cord Hoodie

(Oh boy) youre givin me a woodie

A kalaiedescopin sparks flyin cherry-whippn pop-rockn…

And I aint ever ever ever quittin…

Cause I got you in my site and I want you in my….

 

Verse 3

Lovestruck reality as I watch you walk away

Oh God give me the grace to give up the chase

I’ll never forget ya, never regret ya

Sharper than a Blue Rose Thorn

But nothins gained if love brings only pain

Oh God help me begone n help me to mourn

One last look and my heart’s engulfed with flames

Oh God help with goodbye n don’t let me cry

 

New song…

CAPO 6

V: F7,   G6?,   Em,  Am

F,  G,  Am,  G,   Am,   F,  G,  Am 

VERSE 1

Dreamin outback zodiaque

Never goes too far

Hopin for a harlequin

A multicoloured jet fin

Somethin to begin

The heartbeat in his gin

Sittin alone I aint lonely

Starin at the phone

But I aint gonna call

Instead I got an old cork screw

And a bottle of blue

That’ll help me get through

CHORUS (x2)

Yeah I’m lyin on my bed

And I got you babe

Goin round n round in my head

It’s like my wheels just re-gained their tread

And now this pen is made of lead

(We’re burnin red…)

That’s how I know babe

Our Love Aint Dead, no our love

Our Love Aint Dead

VERSE 2

Front bar volcada cigar

Listenin to the wah wah

Hummin into Zeppelin

A tangerine mandolin

Somethin bohemian

Like a broken-hearted violin

Tainted fainted memory

Sculptured into baritone

Aint gonna fall

Instead he gotta cold home brew

And an aristotle view

That won’t let me break through
