aw thanks tim!!! yeah i really never under stood how important the pope was to ppl, and i still dont really understand to be honest......I like the buddah thing too! Im flirting with Buddhism at the moment, so its important to me, but still even Buddah worries about losing weight, so i like it. i have other verses with lines like "some call it karmah, I call him Greg" and what not but they aint finished!! Thanks again!

brilliant lines people!!!! very funny juzzza, yesterday my neighour said the same thing about his broken clock. and miss pink, that buddha line is very very very very good. (though i'm wondering if you are not confusing a Hotei with Lord Buddha) Buddhism is very interesting, what r u reading about it? i'd like to read some more about it. I'm not into religious songs and all with the praising of jezus, but your lines are nice.

im not praising jesus, im running away from him. and it about me losing faith, not finding faith. "the world has lost its leader" is reference to how EVERY1 was upset about his death and i wasnt, and esp in ireland, the ppl wanted a national day of mourning and there was up roar because the state announced that there wouldnt be one, and i agreed with the state. Im not confusing buddha with Hotei, Buddha i used because im flirting with the idea of buddhism and, i think that with such "people" like buddha, they surely worry about weight too.

Here's a song I wrote recently for all my friends that are graduating and leaving me
 "Childhood Places" (mp3) It feels so cold today Knowing that you're going away I know you need to go, but I wish you'd stay All my senses collide I know I've got to bend You keep on saying this is not the end I know no matter what you are still my friend I just want to be where you are [Pre-Chorus:] And I need you You are the highlight of my day You make my smile not go away And if I could I'd have you stay But I can't ask that of you [Chorus:] So, I will remember you When I'm looking 'round at smiling faces I will remember you When I'm trying to fill the empty spaces I will remember you in childhood places I was a sorry guy So far gone that I didn't realize Then you came into my life and you helped me fly I don't want to come down I know it's your turn now To find out what your own life will allow I'll live without you, I just don't know how I'll take it one breathe at a time Pre-Chorus Chorus ---- I'm working on taking my lyrics and adding a little more poetry to them - they always come out really literal -- but honest at least. Thanks for letting me share. Peace, Benjamin

You'll all have to humor me, because I'm new at this/ this a kinda a rough draft :-)
"Chocolate" Satin and silk trimmed with lace, set with pearls Do a twirl Do you feel pretty now? Oh Lord, she's so dramatic So hopelessly romantic Her southern charm is getting old Chorus: She turned to stone Waiting 100 years for him to come home A chocolate cheesecake for the eyes And for his depth, a lemon cream pie Do you feel pretty now? Stone her to death already Because she has surly sinned He continues to shower her with flattering adjectives He called her beautiful today Chorus 2X Her lips were tinted blue from standing in the cold for hours at a time in just her nightgown Waiting for the headlights of his car She never saw them Do you feel pretty now? |

Oh, and I just listened to BenjaminCostellos mp3 of "Childhood Places" and really loved it. You're a great guitarist and have a very nice voice. Not to mention the chorus was catchy and sounded like it'd be appealing to a large group of people, which is hard to do. I have problems writing hooks.

i wrote a new song today cos it's coming up to the one-year anniversary of the ex-boyfriend asking me out:
ninth cloud i cannot believe that something so great could've happened to me, but hey it's just fate as we sit in the front row and watch the crowd as they go up and down but i'm on the ninth cloud we're on the ninth cloud i'm on cloud nine as we walk hand in hand and i know your are mine despite your band you sit me down and we talk about school it was quite dull but we were lookin' so cool yes we were lookin' so cool cos i'm on the ninth cloud we're on the ninth cloud and then you were gone just as soon as you came no farwell hug or words of disdain no kiss goodbye, no tears in your eye as i look from your face to the boundless blue sky to your boundless blue eyes cos i'm on the ninth cloud we're on the ninth cloud i walk and i follow down to the park i wonder "if.." when i sit in the dark if this was the right decision to make but hey i dunno, i guess it was fate i guess it was fate cos i'm on the ninth cloud we're on the ninth cloud yes i'm on the ninth cloud yes we're on the ninth cloud

sorry bout the length, this is a song i just wrote called cynthia
Cynthia was blonde and Pale The song begins and ends with fire Her voice whispering words burning in the flames Fire... Fire.... Is all... she's... got She wrote stories they Paralelled her life Speech impeded and noone heard her sing The rhymes and tales Of Gothic Darkness read by none although they were her wings Fire... Fire.... Is all... she's... got Bullied Every day Her hair was straight and she wore no make-up said it let her see she spoke in riddle they never listened and they called her Babbling Bettie Fire... Fire.... Is all... she's... got Those who apreciated Came and went A boy once looked into her eyes but hid when with his friends he grew up and moved away Fire... Fire.... Is all... she's... got She used to Burn herself to examine her emotions with the pain Babbling Bettie Bablled blood And Burns Fire... Fire.... Is all... she's... got So she was alone again her eye-friend lost his eyes She built a bonfire, took her poems in her hands and walked in Fire... Fire.... Is all... she's... got When you die, My love the stars will sing your songs the wind will whisper your verse and your eyes will glisten forever in the flames Cynthia was blonde and Pale The song begins and ends with fire Her voice whispering words burning in the flames Fire... Fire ... All...i've... got... is... Fire... Fire ... Is all i've got. i just read it through without guitar, seems a bit strange.

My two favorite lyrics of my songs are
Stand By You Say the ideal The one true love As I reveal The sky up above The past is known To what we fear Lie beneath The dead shall seal Stand by you Stand by you Sight and vision Are always turned And we hide the fear In these words Sometimes it's like A joyful place But we don't have The love we make Stand by and I'll hold you here Stand by and be here Stand by and I'll hold you Stand by the morning's near soon Just to be there Is pain enough Why must We suffer more in of All I can say Is what I feel I cannot make the path To reveal what's here Stand by to the time Stand by in the light Straight to the star so bright Stand by to say goodnight Why we Why must it be Take the time While night Stand by I'll hold you Stand by and be true Stand by and I'll be here Stand by to be near Stand by to say it's right Stand by to say goodnight Stand by and say light Soon the fire . . . bright *reprise* Stand by you You can stand by me Let our heads rest And our minds will be at peace I say to you Don't mind the pain For the light has shown And strength regained Stand by you You stand by me Stand by you Be there for me I'll be there for you, oh please The other is Ballad of Silence *the outro goes longer with improv singing* As she walks up the stairs She finds out that there is nothing there Her heart and soul have been tossed A cold hard rock in place there Her man asleep sipping the last drop As she runs down and out in the air “Life will change.” she now thought As she left without a care What will become of me When I am no more here Will I look back on my life in shock? Will I regret Not taking this here Or will I hate myself for this thought Her mother won’t cry Her mother won’t cry Her mother won’t cry She used to think that life was that She used to think that she was bad She thought that she screwed up And hated herself for what she had What will become of me When I am no more here Will I look back on my life in shock? Will I regret Not taking this here Or will I hate myself for this thought He told her to keep it down To not tell anyone around That this was all for her He never meant to hurt her What will become of me When I am not more here Will I look back on my live in shock? Will I regret Not taking this here Or will I hate myself for this thought Her mother won't cry She arrived today She arrived today Where they said they would help she She arrived today She arrived today And now she is free . . . and you can call this place now your home . . . |
