A couple of songs I've written and recorded recently (goto
www.myspace.com/benbroommusic to listen) Opinions on the lyrics or on the songs as a whole would be muchly appreciated.
Don't tell me I can't cry
Once again I'm just not me
Please tell me who this me might be
And I'm not here inside my head
what you see of me is dead
But I'm a man
So don't tell me that I can't cry
I'm a man
So don't me that I can't cry
I'm seeing circular straight lines
With all of the problems laying behind
I feel I'm standing two foot tall
and my brain is bouncing off these walls
I'm falling apart now
So don't tell me that I can't cry
I'm falling apart now
So don't tell me that I can't cry
All wrapped up inside my sheets
Dunno why I can't just sleep
Too much running through my mind
Too much in front of me to climb
And now I've lost it
so don't tell me that I can't cry
I've F***ing lost it
Now I just wanna die
And I'm not blaming this on you
I just don't know what to do
Tell me which way I should turn
Before I self destruct and burn
Once again I'm just not me
Please tell me who this me might be
And I'm not here inside my head
what you see of me is dead

This Life
I've been running round
and up and down
but still ain't found
quite what I'm looking for
And these good people cry
and I don't lie
and I can't hide
someday you'll find me
F***ing up somewhere
But this life is just too rough
and I'm just not tough enough
I've been living
all of these things
these f***ed up scenes
laying in my mind
And I will be
your perfect ear
'cos I'm not here
So you can listen to yourself
What a lovely voice
But this life is just too rough
and I'm just not tough enough
Some might say
that you are perfect
but you're not worth it
I'm not even gonna waste my breath
And I speak
my mind in full
whilst you speak bull
now I'm just not listening
to all this sh*t
But this life is just too rough
and I'm just not tough enough
For you
For you
For you
ooooooh
But I will be
your perfect ear
'cos I'm not here
So you can listen to yourself
What a lovely voice
But this life is just too rough
and I'm just not tough enough
But this life is just too rough
and I'm just not rough enough.

Both pretty depressing songs. I tend to write more when I'm fed up, late at night after several drinks. Opinions please
p.s On the off chance anybody likes them and wants to hear them in their original quality, which they aren't on myspace, then just let me know!
