New words. A song forming. 😕
Trapped, stifled, sandwiched in
Fermented fruit bruised by the heat
Rainbow trifle too sweet to eat
Diamond pinata too hard to beat

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

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

New song forming. Again…
Tuning – Drop D
No Capo (as yet)
FIRST DRAFT
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 FoolÂ
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)
(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

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 ?

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.  😊

New song lyrics coming to me now 😊
Is your heart on standby
Oh Gucci handbag
Flippin like a flag
To the beat of his mambo
Sweet sweet torture
Waitin for his court ya
Runnin like a jaguar
To the heat of his tango

Lettin go is hard. Â This is how it feels…
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

I now know that love & madness go hand-in-hand.

Em    A
Chorus
D   G     C  Am  D

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 AsylumÂ
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 AsylumÂ

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 DraftÂ
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
