CD's Great American Songbook

I like it all CD,

except for the second line of the third verse.
Its the only line that doesn't work for me.

Well done! (again)

Yeah thanks, it's true that line kinda sucks now that I read it again. Thanks again for the reply.

This is a little darker than usual. Comment please.

Suicide Notes Are Very Polite

I left a note.
I did the right thing.
I'm gone, I wrote,
I can't feel a thing,
And you don't care
That I'm not there,
But I'll still sing.

I'm dead, I'm gone,
There's no more pain.
I'm cold, I'm lost
Yet please remain,
And I'll still sing,
'Cause I I left a note,
I did the right thing.

Remember when I gripped your throat,
And when I kissed it tenderly,
To you and yours did I devote,
But you didn't say it back to me,
So I left a note,
I did the right thing,
I cut my throat,
But I'll still sing.

This is an interesting one CD
When I read it through the first time, it didn't grab me. It seemed to have too much going on in it. But after I'd read it through a couple more times, I wanted to read it again. After a while, I figured that it has a rythmn to it all its own - and it started to get to me - just like a song should. I'm still not sure about having so many short rhymes in it, but its certainly got something.

Hope this is of some use to you,
Endy

Yes thanks Endy, your replies are always useful to me. I don't know if this is one of my better works, but oh well. I'll keep writing.

Say Crazy
Have you got anymore song lyrics?
I've started playing the accoustic a bit more recently. (Basic blues chords - a bit of finger picking) I started thinking about writing a song - but it ain't that easy is it?

Sorry Endy, I've been a little busy lately and haven't gotten around to getting anything posted. I'll see if I can find some time soon.

No worries CrazyDiamond

Enjoy the festival season!

I'm baaaack
with a vengance

and some teen angst:

Confused

Oh they said the way you were,
They said it wasn't for me,
You're easy like sunday mornin'
It took me so-o long to see

You know that I'm a nice guy,
Yeah, that's just what ya like in me,
He can't love ya like I could,
If only you could seeee

Babe, oh babe, have sweet dreams tonight,
Babe, oh babe, think of me tonight,
Not him
Or him
Or anybody else...

Cause
I can't take the way you do this to me all the time,
And I can't feel this way much longer if you keep this up.
Yeah I can't lope around baby cause ya know I'm in my prime,
No if you have to be like that I can't keep this up
Cause I
Ooh I
Don't like to be confused.

Oh they said the way you were,
They said it wasn't for me,
I told them all to shut up,
But these days i agreee

Cause
I can't take the way you do this to me all the time,
And I can't feel this way much longer if you keep this up.
And I can't lope around baby cause ya know I'm in my prime,
No I can't do this like that, I can't keep this up
No I
Ooh I
Don't like to be confused,
Confused,
Confused,
Confused...
