Glastonbury Fever

Oh dear. Another song forming.

I feel you there stokin it evokin it

I feel you there provokin it…

Oh can you feel me strokin it?

I wanna brush my hands all over you

Touch your face caress your mouth

Then slowly slowly move em South

Just enough barely there

Silky silent love affair

I wanna dock em on your rock

Gently move em up n down

Rest em there my lover

Lock em there forever

Yeah I can feel ya

Cause I’m a believer

And right now

I got Glastonbury Fever…

That place it shows me

You can’t wait you want me too

We’ve been holdin on far too long

My love we’re blue we’re overdue

We’re on the brink it’s time to sync

Please save that place for only me

Please save me for tomorrow x

Ladder Of Love

These lyrics just came to me while I was brushing my teeth…

 

V1

Your heart talks to mine

Sounds its horn at the crack of dawn

I’m whipped awake as daylight breaks

As sunlight bakes our candle stake

You come in close I see your face

Reachin out yearin for a taste

I want to touch you

But you disappear without a trace

???

Into a tangled melody

 

Chorus

Hit the snooze button five times

Just to find you one last time

I climbed & i climbed & i climbed

I climbed five times

Up The Ladder of Love

To find my head up in the clouds

Lookin through eyes of a clown

A fairy-tale believer fallin down

The Fool

New song forming.  Again…

Tuning – Drop D

No Capo (as yet)

 

FIRST DRAFT

Verse 1

I don’t know why

Why you wanna make me look The Fool

When all I wanted was for you to love me too

And I don’t know why

Why you get to make the rules

Break em too then cut me loose

Why you wanna make me look The Fool

Verse 2 (?? needs work)

And I don’t know why

Why you gotta treat me cruel

When all I want is for you to love me too

And I don’t know how you

Yeah how do you keep your cool

Knowin I need your fuel, I need your jewel

Why you wanna make me look The Fool

Chorus (?? in progress)

Why’d you have to steal my heart away

Run away, say that you’d be back one day

You’re just a

 

Verse 3

And I don’t know why you

Why you won’t cut the noose

Instead you leave me haunted

Wonderin if you love me too

And I don’t know why

Why you only wanna hear the blues

Gimme a clue or tell me we’re through

Why you wanna make me look The Fool 

Outro

Screw you cause I’m done with lookin the tool

(Lookin The Fool)

Yeah I’m tired of writin songs that rhyme with blue

(That rhyme with you)

So gimme a sign, gimme some fire

(Yeah show some desire)

Music…..

(slow fade out)

I just don’t know why you

Why you wanna make me look The Fool

When all I wanted

Was for you to love me too

 

 

Studiotime

Draft 1

V1

If there’s a scale for pain

I broke em today

Chasin that quiver I couldn’t deliver

That shiver from me to you

Left me feelin worthless

A crownless Queen

Game of chess dethroned

Conquered by the King

Chorus

Spent my last dime

On some Studiotime

??

V2

Choker chain I got no bling

I got no ring just broken wings

Tryna sing i’m China blue without you

The plot, the map, the perfect plan

Camelot n Lancelot ?

??

??

 

 

Baby Steps…

Today was a very special day for me. Singin my heart out (kind of), into a Rodes mic staring straight back at me, momentarily tangled up in my dream… and it felt wonderful.  Loadsa work to do, but I feel one tiny step closer…and that’s all that really matters.  😊

Blue Goodbye

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

?

Lunatic Asylum

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 

Times Three

This one is for my family 🙂  I hear the song already – just need to make some time to work on these lyrics.  I have lots of the lyrics in my mind

Writing for my family is heart wrenching…I get very emotional.  I love my family so very much it’s so hard to put it into words…into song.

First Draft 

V1

Mum you were there to guide me along

You held my hand n helped me stand

Picked me up when I grazed my skin

There when I felt like giving in

Watchin as I played in band

Waitin while the sun went down

And when I couldn’t make a sound

You were always there to understand

Cookin craftin knittin sewin

Always remind me of your love

Mum you never scrapped my book

Even when I got life wrong

Oh no you never gave in on me

Never gave up on me

Ch

You were always there, you’re still here now

You’ll always be, always be, always be

And it wasn’t just for me

You did this all for me Times Three

For my brother sister and for me

You gave your love for free

You gave your love Times Three

V2

Dad you were there to make me strong

You helped me man my mic stand

Clipped me up to your safety pin

There when I felt like a livin sin

Watchin as I hit the sand

Waitin while my car broke down

And when my feet left the ground

You were always there to understand

Fishin findin writin climbin

Always remind me of your love

Dad you never snapped my hook

Even when I got life wrong

Oh no you never caved in on me

Never gave up on me
