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

We could have Eternity

So when you gonna give

When you gonna give it all?

 

Verse 3

One day I’ll wait forever for you

Cause I gotta yearning

For our kiss again so hard so ecstasy

I just gotta see the black in your eyes

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?

 

(7) Lost in Ecstasy

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

 

Without You

I need to get away from here where no-one understands me. To sit in silence and watch the sea.  To hear the calling of waves as they rip against the ocean floor & drag it back the helpless shore.  It’s all the same.  Nothing will change.  My heart all ripped up inside – my ocean on the inside.  Without you

Elly

This song will feature in my Little Blue Dot album.  The chorus actually came to me yesterday

Verse 1

Oh your soul swam the seas of Mozambique

Only twenty years old with a smile so sweet

Now your loved ones have woken to you rising dawn

Into the hands of God you’ll never be gone

Now the whole wide world they all know your name

And so together we’ll share the pain

Chorus

Now the shells of the shore echo your name

Elly, Elly, Elly

Rainbow coral & angel fish

Why, why, why….

(Why did it have to be this way?)

Now the shells of the shore echo her name

Elly, Elly, Elly

Rainbow coral and angel fish

(Why did it have to be this way?)

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

Thank F**k It’s Friday

Start of a new song.  Feeling tired and trapped today, hence the lyrics  🙂

26/04/17 – Yippee!! Just thought of a really cool idea for this song.  A copier machine spitting out blank pages.  I’ll do this on my lunch break or get a tech to record it for me…then tweak it with an effect on my PC.  Really cool rhythm sound, which is going to work really well in this track!!!!

1/06/17 – Started writing Verse 2

Intro

(Konica Minolta copier machine sound, with effects)

* I have the copier sound recorded – yay *

Verse 1

Lookin glass wired through black n white barred

Doors jarred n slammed with that meet n greet

Bull dust n small talk breakin us down

Cause the walls are closing in and we’re losin the grin

Floors grey n squared sportin domino chairs

Balls chained n heavy not a succulent in sight

Pizza crust n coke gonna need a damn siesta

With cricket on the lunch screen and we’re rollin on 2pm

Lookin hot n cold through the breath of an igloo

Papers licked n flicked with the devil in her eye

Sharp heels slicin through the ice rinked blue

Cause we’re blinkin up to no sky copin with the ridicule

 

Cause the blink                                                        ice rink

With heels slicin sharp

Blinkin up to no sky ?? Sharp heels slicin through the cold floor

Mobile phone n fake gems stuck on the outside

Jammed drawers n horrid jewels Y toom to hello

Mobile phone n fake gems stuck on the outside

Like on the inside

keyboard

Big long and sharp

Hospital sounds

Outskirts of hell

 

Chorus

Thank f**k it’s Friday

Yeah bring it on 5 pm

(Yeah bring it on the weekend)

Thank f**k it’s Friday

Oh we want it 5pm

Thank f**k it’s Friday

Give it to us 5pm

Thank f**k it’s Friday

Yeah bring it on the weekend

 

 

 

One Day

Just one long rap-style vocal track – love how this track is evolving.  I’m hoping it’ll be the last song in the Love Struck album!

One Day

32.

You gotta gun to my head

Smoking hot trigger caress

Pull my petals love me knot

And now you’re gone again

Fallen with the rain

Blue Rose thorn in my side

Lover of the dark night

And i’m not gonna deny

(But I just)

Cause you got it 

And I want it

Oh yeah

I gotta see you again

There’s gonna be a next time

And when that time comes

I’m gonna strike from behind

Yeah I’m gonna take you down

Dressed in black

I’m gonna come from nowhere 

I’ll take you by surprise

I’ll take you with stealth

I’ll take you with force

Yeah I’m gonna take your hands

I’m gonna handcuff you to me

I’m gonna throw away the key 

Cause you got it

And I want it 

Oh yeah – I want you

Double barreled

B u s t e d   He art      💔

Gimme the bullet in your gun

Oh, OhOhOh

32.

I’m gonna come for you

One Day, no more waiting…

32.

Scented rain, Roses blue

Handcuffed together you n me

Tossed key, to the sea

P r e ss e d  together

You n me

For the taking 

32.

Scented rain, Roses blue

Handcuffed together you n me

Tossed key, to the sea

Pressed together

You n me

No more waiting

32.

Wishin’ Well

New song lyrics…this one I’ll be donating to Sean @ Prestige Honda.  He is a pro drummer and would do something really cool with this 

Verse 1

Feelin the dread cause she’s runnin outta tread

With that back tyre bolted soon it’s gonna be deflated

Hamster style wheelin while the big boss 

Up the hill to fetch that pale of torture…

Radiator leakin yeah that overflow she’s bubblin

Caged cinematic crownin petals excavated

Electric Daisy carnal snatchin at her soft glow

Jazzed heart beaten by that jail time scorcher

Chorus

Cause I gotta gold coin 

And I’m chasin the dream

Yeah i’m headed for that…

Wishin’ Well

(Wishin’ Well)

Diamond in the snow
Let the rhythm flow

Avalanche my city night

Tossin out a chord

(Yeah tossin out a chord)

Six figure (triple that)

Bring it back (monopolize)

Three times (copy that)

Wishin’ Well

(Wishin’ Well)

Cause I gotta gold coin 

And I’m chasin the dream

Oh yeah i’m headed for that…

Verse 2

Squeakin like a lab rat reapin at the roundabout

Wailin out to Walt breakin at the stop sign

Temp started peakin beggin for a Kool breeze 

Mini mouse screamin out doused by that court ya…

Ghost to the side yeah her knock is real loud

Purple paintwork faded losin that spark-me-up

Lady trampled bumper style gonna feel that whiplash 

Bright sight dodgin while she cries out white neon light 
 Chorus (x2)

Finally!!!!

After 18 months in the making, my Love Struck album is now complete!  Yes, the songs all need work, but I am so happy to have the foundation there now.  Just have to continue with the raw singing, playing, strum n hum until i’m ready to hit a studio  🙂

Popcorn Heart

Work in Progress…!  I have the melody, just need to work on music and lyrics

Ok – going to try something new here.  I’ll put a random chord progression here and adapt it to suit the song.

Verse 1

 

I’m not pretty or perfect
And I walk n talk
Too fast sometimes
Dotted n striped
Pink n blue
My socks are odd like me

I like betting on Blackjack
And I think n drink
Too much sometimes
Hot n hyped
Forever new
My vox are outta tune

I’ve got kitties not beagles
And I forget n fret
Too many times
Up n down 
Lost n found
My songs are like me

Pre-Chorus

Popcorn Heart, Popcorn Heart

(You sparked it up)

Popcorn Heart, Popcorn Heart

Intro

I feel blue rose petals

Blossom from my heart

Like popcorn in slow motion…

(A blustering commotion)

Verse 1

Chorus 1

My love for you’s as simple as 1, 2, 3

Oh let me spell it out for you A, B, C

(Popcorn Heart, Popcorn Heart)

You’re the bees in my knees

So gimme your seas 

Cause i wanna taste 

Of ya moon time rotation

I’ve got kitties not beagles
And I forget n fret
Too much sometimes
Up n down 
Lost n found
My  like me

I like betting on Blackjack
And I drink n smoke
Too much sometimes
Hot n hyped
Forever new
My vox are outta tune
My socks are odd like me

I like betting on Blackjack
And I drink n smoke
Too much sometimes
Hot n hyped
Forever new
My vox are outta tune

Chorus 2

My love for you’s as simple as 1, 2, 3

Oh let me spell it out for you A, B, C

Cause I gotta notion 

You got the potion

That’ll set me free

I taste you like tequila as the sun goes down

You’re the shimmer you’re simmer

The fizz in my lemonade
