Raven

 

It’s not what you say it’s how you say it

It’s not what you do it’s how you do it

I mean, let’s face it

No-one really speaks the truth

Somethin we’re all cravin

Swoopin down like a Raven 

Are them thoughts that never quite reach

When ya misbehavin

Stampin out the butts onto the pavin

Them doors open n closin

Gettin closer to Jehovah

Be buzzin onto ya red roser

On ya bed-shirt sufferin

Suffocatin when silence comes

Hallucinatin while ya heart’s racin

Facin the sun burnt by the breeze

Bees on the freeze

Jesu strapped to the trees

Swoopin down like a Raven 

Paparazzi Blues


This will go on my Studio Time album…

the excitement, the fear & EVERYTHING else

It scares me to think i’d become one of them too
Chained to them Paparazzi Blues
Red on the floor so many been there before 
Starin up into a fire-fire flame
Black night sittin tight 
Don’t wanna be standin in the bright bright light
Down from flight n shudderin fight 
Dogin them arms sliced by the kite
Never too late they be dead by now
So i’m guarding my heart from bein with you
Caught up in twenty two
Runnin from them Paparazzi Blues
Caught up in twenty two
Runnin from them Paparazzi Blues
Caught up in twenty two
Runnin from them Paparazzi Blues
Caught up in twenty two
Runnin from them Paparazzi Blues
Caught up in twenty two
Runnin from them Paparazzi Blues

Are We Liquidated

New song – in progress…  needs loads of work.  Just an idea so far

 

Lord of attraction are we in the wrong faction

Trapped in rat skin talkin ventriloquin

Kicked in the shin are we over-reactin

Strapped to the crossbow have we aimed too high

Flashin them rations n shakin the tin

Pickin the mix n scrappin the bin

Where have we gone are we lost in transmission

Losin our days while watchin them graze

Metal on metal soundin the steel

Pullin too hard n killin the deal

Whacked on the back by a pack of black jacks

Stealin our tools for mixin the gruel

Dogin the rules n actin the fool

Bendin the facts to get more tax

Shot like a rocket outta the pocket

Counter productor banking sub-tractor

Acid rain stainin the chain no pain no gain

Miss calculated… Infuriated… Figurines grated

(Oh) Are We Liquidated

Black Cord Hoodie

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

 

Patience

Trance track (lyrics)… to give to Markus Schulz.  No melody as yet. Something to work on over weekend.  The lyrics are a kind of plea for help.  Everyone needs a mentor.

(First Draft)

 

Standin where you been

Anticipatin the dream

Lookin up so high

Countin stars in the sky

Yeah I’ve been waitin I keep waitin

I’ve been waitin I keep waitin

I’ve been waitin I keep waitin

??

To turn the key unlock my sea

Free em tears of fire

This lifelong desire

Straight from the heart

Right from the start

You were the first love

You’ll be the last

Everything else is just the past

Can’t run from chance

When soul turned to destiny

 

What’s meant for me

Standin where you been

Anticipatin the dream

Lookin up so high

Countin stars in the sky

Yeah I’ve been waitin I keep waitin

I’ve been waitin I keep waitin

I’ve been waitin I keep waitin

I’ve been waitin I keep waitin…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Love Aint Dead

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

Kung The Fu

 

Gotta knotta fire started out inside

All them years ago now it’s unstoppable

Wear it inside out cause through em years

It’s been burnin down my house

Ain’t nothin ever gonna douse it out now

Shout it out to the universe this never endin golden curse

Cause I gotta have it astronomical

I wanna have the impossible, the unattainable

Hurts so good it sucks, oh yeah, it’s fluffy ducked

Every now n then jolts the vow to never give in

Ignition to the drive a reminder to strive

Still feel it like a bloated unamed nemo

A salt water fish swimmin in a bowl of piss

Shattered ground are we runnin outta time

Oh my god, when’my gonna be found

Before it’s too late before i’m buried underground?

I wanna believe in back to the future

So when my clock strikes five n i’m barely alive

You’ll arrive like a thunderbolt in the nick of time

Travel back to the start n fix the fluffy duck-ups

But then again ain’t nobody perfect

Only a lover gonna see you as a ten outta ten

And when I met you I was wearin O2

Spinnin déjà vu into 2 live crew

Never knew bout the color blue

Till I looked at you n dropped that midnight hue

Kung the fu, cork the screw n walk the due

But I ain’t ever givin up on you

No capo

Chords: (starts on 5th, down to 2nd, 3rd, 5th using D string and A string as bass)

Verse 1

You’ve been gone away for so long

Got me wondrin where I went wrong

And somewhere along the way

There must be somethin you forgot to say to me

And I’ve been waitin for you for so long

It’s time I faced the truth head-on

Someone must’ve stepped in our way

And now they’ve stolen you away from me

Chorus

How do I say goodbye

How do I say So Long

How do I walk away

From everythin that turns me on

How do I say goodbye

How do I say So Long

How do I walk away

Since lovin you for oh so long

Bridge 

I feel a spark ignite my heart

It hits me hard n i’m alive

Yeah it’s you I feel in the bright night

Is love real or just surreal

A candy-fired heart of steel

Yeah it’s you I taste in the sweet heat

I’ll never forget the flutter

As you pulled me from the gutter

Why can’t this be the way our story really ends

Verse 2

We’ve been goin on for so long

Now we got somethin so strong

Ain’t nothin gonna get in our way

There ain’t nothin gonna tear us apart again

And I’ve been chasin true love for so long

A rhyme that’s laced as proof into song

One day we’ll hear it playin on the radio

While we’re rollin in the deep blue sea

Chorus

 

Lost In Our Song

New song forming…can’t seem to stop
​I don’t know what to do to get to you
And so it’s just another night 
Feelin blue without you
I crossed the line n looked you up
Hopin for a sign
To tell me where you’re at 
To see what you been up to
But i’m as blind as a bat
If I can’t see you’re gone
Holdin on…
Are you Lost In Our Song?
Oh darlin where you been 
You’re nowhere to be seen
Except in my dream 
You’re my centrefold magazine 
Blue-Rose Star-tacked time machine
Stuck to the wall
I can’t break down
But i’m the one 
I’m the one
I’m the one
I’m the one who wanna be your Queen

Owner Of My Heart

New song  🙂

Our love is heaven

That beats twenty-four-seven

A match to the zen

Struck from above

And even when I’m blue

From not bein with you

Yeah even though we’re not together in the flesh

I’ll never run off with another

No matter what the weather

I’ll never run for cover

Even when the sun don’t shine

Cause you’re the Owner Of My Heart

Yo baby, you’re the Owner Of My Heart
