^ wow that's really good! so's the one above it! well done!

words and music for this one have been floating around for a while now but i only put it together tonight. it's about this person who i thought was my best friend but about a week ago he turned on me and basically told me he hated me. i've kinda forgiven him and things are alright now but i needed some way of getting out my anger.. it doesn't have a name yet but i'm thinking of "lost" maybe..?



i thought i knew you, but i was wrong
what does it matter now you're gone?

rain pours down to clear the mess
pain pours out as you confess
we started out as sweethearts
less sweet, more bitterhearts
we sat on walls and in the park
and it ended at midnight in the dark

i thought i knew you, but i was wrong
what does it matter now you're gone?

then came that fateful night
the huge fight to end all fights
i couldn't believe you words
each one set you free as a bird
but you left me bleeding
and every word you're reading
is a product of the pain you've caused

i thought i knew you, but i was wrong
what does it matter now you're gone?
you thought you knew me but you were wrong
what does it matter now you're gone?
i thought i knew you but i was wrong
what does it matter? i'm glad you're gone!

My Card

A big town
a big job
I don't feel myself I feel overwhelmed
and my friends seem to scatter, like leaves on the wind
they don't call be back, when I need that friend

all my love, all my love is all I have and my card
and my card

friend like a brother, always there when I need an ear
friend like a brother, always there when I need you near

I come down
I land hard
you helped pick me up when I felt overwhelmed
and it didn't seem to matter, never one to judge
at the drop of a hat, you're at my door

all my love, all my love is all I have and my card
and my card

friend like a brother, always there when I need an ear
friend like a brother, always there when I need you near

hey livo... i like ur latest contribution very much!!

this is jus something i scribbled down in d libarary d other day... its gone with some music prettty good but sure here it is anyway...


fresh new hope, a new chance,
i've been bruised before,
thought you'd be different,

oh you got in my head, right from the start,
but you didn't even, come close to my heart,

too familiar, this has become,
another lost before it had really begun,
this time i did nothing wrong

oh you got in my head, right from the start,
but you didn't even, come close to my heart,

my heart's singing a new song,
i've switched off, didn't take much,
now i don't even want your touch,

oh you got in my head, right from the start,
but you didn't even, come close to my heart,

no matter what i do, i end up on my own,
i've accepted it,
some people are meant to be alone,

oh you got in my head, right from the start,
but you didn't even, come close to my heart.

[maccas81]

this is the latest offering!

A musicians lot is rarely a happy one
at least in the sphere of romantic endeavour
or maybe my anatomy and physiology
is hardwired peculiarly differently

it could be a synapse or a neural
receptor that causes a sudden loss
of cabin pressure and makes the things
that i say highly register on the
idiot detector

but if they put a rod through Wernicke's area
would that give me an uncanny ability to
spout killer pick up lines?
I don't know but the rate i'm going it's worth a try

your eyes light up the blue sky
like a butterfly....why oh why
did i say that?!
Next time i'll suggest swapping numbers and just leave it at that
save the embarrassment

drunk or sober i dont know whats worse
not sure if alcohol's a blessing or a curse
but those cringeworthy comments
i made about the was that she smiled
would make even me want to curl up and vomit bile
think its gonna be some time before i get it right
there goes another night

your eyes light up the blue sky
like a butterfly....why oh why
did i say that?!
Next time i'll suggest swapping numbers and just leave it at that
save the embarrassment

think i'll set up a charity
for hopeless flirtation cases
logic goes and nonsense replaces
should have seen the lok on their faces when i said those lines
lines...what lines?!

your eyes light up the blue sky
like a butterfly....why oh why
did i say that?!
Next time i'll suggest swapping numbers and just leave it at that
save the embarrassment

[maccas81]

ok better put a parental advisory on this one...its my favourite though...

keeping my nose clean

saturday night was always rough
so he took some stuff to get himself messed up
makes him loud and it makes him aggressive but hes not so impressive
as a physical specimen

he goes out just tp tell some lies
spin some yarns and see if anyone buys

takes some more and release the beast
that mans crazy he shouldnt be out on the streets
and the only things on the rise are property prices and STI's

after sniffing he's on the rut
be don't f**k sluts because theyre carrying viruses
knickers down on the back of the number 10 bus

billy likes to dip his rod in with nothin
nothin covering
doesnt like how it feels he prefers when its skin to skin
doesnt tell bout the rash that he has from his jocks to his knees
or how it stings when he pees
cos the girls would probably leave
with all theyre clothes on
and in case youre wondering it isnt me
im keeping my nose clean
said goodbye to the drugs scene
keeping my nose clean

sex sells,when it swells you must be sick with desire
that its sure to quell
if you do it youll surely go to hell
with the paedophile preacher
wasnt much of a spiritual teacher
a lecherous predator
wish that you were playboy editor
just for the features
from the brothel to the television screen
some would call it obscene
say prostitution degrades and porn dmeans
but im keepping my nose clean
walked away from the fetish scene
keeping my nose clean

Karl marx was a erman man, had a simple plan
control the economy, he inspired the soviet beurocracy
never intended, to create the most brutal affront to liberty
Stalinist tyranny
In an age where warfare entails strapping bombs to your body
and exploding your entrails justifying your explots for gods and dreams
but im keeping my nose clean
turned away from the terrorist scene
keeping my nose clean
keeping my nose clean

[Juzzza]

Your name

I'm weighted down
I'm weighted down
and I can't rise to the surface
with these chains around my, around my neck
and I can't see the woods now
for the trees any more, you got me blind
and I can't flee this circus, I'm a clown in your ring
you're a whip

but I will not fall
I will not call your name any more, any more, no, no more

I'm weighted down
I'm weighted down
and I can be what you're after, any more, not for you, I'm sorry
and you have tried to break me, but you failed, I'm free, free agent

but I will not fall
I will not call your name any more, any more, no, no more

go for it!!

ok ok.. this one is Don't Say It's Too Late..

This city is a cold place,
I think lying face down on my bed,
I have plenty of time to waste,
But still I seem to waste yours instead,
Remember when the music played loud,
As we stood by that gate,
I was robbed of my doubt,
Don't Say It's Too Late

You left your door wide open,
Helping Me, Welcoming Me, Telling Me To Come In,
So Now Don't Be Building Divides...
And when the music plays loud,
Try to realise,
That you robbed me of my doubt,
Don't Say Its Too Late

I need you here tonight,
I need you here if that's alright,
I need you here tonight...

This next one is called Adventures From Outside The Box...

Noise pollutes the air tonight,
Only in daytime you're polite,
But tonight you say we can wish,
For the future to be bright...

I build sandcastles with glass structures,
I paint words that become my pictures,
I make characters to star in my adventures...

Be careful what you say,
Think different, Think differently,
Think outside the box, Just to break up the locks,
Break Up the Locks...

Fictional Personality, The Camera Will Lie,
Audio Tells A Different Story, Now I can't just sit by...

I build hope with sand structures,
I fake a smile in your photograph,
I hold on, I hold on, I hold on,
Meditate.. Meditation...

Be careful what you say,
Think different, Think differently,
Think outside the box, Just to break up the locks,
Break Up the Locks...

what ya'll think... any pointers in the direction of making it better would be much appreciated!

cheers, tj.

[tj]

maybe one more.. lol.. this one is called Electric...

Daring Him To Pick The Phone Straight Up,
Ticking, Thinking, Ripping Up The Paper Cup,
Creating thoughts and planting them in his brain,
Drinking too much so he won't feel the pain...

Cutting Lines, Searching For Signs, Leave It Behind,
Nothing Can Stop me Now, I'm Electric, For Now

Into town and his heart ache shows,
Striking a match and choking as it glows,
Thinking of her and he can't sit still,
He hates the strain but he loves the thrill...

Cutting Lines, Searching For Signs, Leave It Behind,
Nothing Can Stop me Now, I'm Electric, For Now

You've got the bullet, You've got the gun,
You've got your finger on the trigger,
Pull it. Send me to the sun.
x2

Cutting Lines, Searching For Signs, Leave It Behind,
Nothing Can Stop me Now, I'm Electric, For Now

Daring Him To Pick the Phone Straight Up,
Ticking, Thinking, Ripping Up The Paper Cup.

Thats one of the more rockier ones.

[Livo]

well done!

literally JUST made this up:

goodnight lullaby
goodnight stars
won't see you in the morning
farewell from my heart

farewell stories
farewell songs
goodnight fairies
on my lawn
i'll see you
the other side of dawn

we're taking back the night
cos the stars should be all ours

when i close my
starstricken eyes
i think about morning
and awoken eyes
i think about my own
tearfilled eyes

i think about the one who'll
steal my heart
i think about the one who'll
name my stars
i think about the one i've
left behind

it's you

[snowbaby]

WOW.... tj and livo... excellent stuff... very impressed livo

[maccas81]

very good stuff indeed....some fairly heartfelt lyrics for sure....keep em coming guys!

[maccas81]

A bigger man

Skin soft, flesh warm, vision blurred, eightball
use the wall as a reference point

Mind full, like a trashcan, lightning bolt , from a flashpoint
Current flows through your brain

Cool sheets, summer scents, 2 hearts beat, acquiese
Blood leaves its sticky permanence

So take me down from this cross
It wasnt much of a loss but
its shrouded in mystery
I didnt come to try and save the world
thats for a bigger man than me

Unconcerned, at ease, comforting, if you please
went smoother than expected

Not used to no stress, metaphors, bench press my heart
and wrench it from my chest

Dialogues disputations, considering yourr dispensations
as the future rolls back in time

questions of existence consequences and resistence
strangle it at birth


So take me down from this cross
It wasnt much of a loss but
its shrouded in mystery
I didnt come to try and save the world
thats for a bigger man than me

and in that twilight, took off bird midflight
really did make me smile

you arrived i relished, mission was accomplished
you are still my delight
you are still my delight

So take me down from this cross
It wasnt much of a loss but
its shrouded in mystery
I didnt come to try and save the world
thats for a bigger man than me

[Yetzirah]

Hey guys, I just wanted to say I'm really impressed with what you're doing here. Some of you write really great lyrics!

I whish I could do this...

[not so far to go to find]

any opinions good, bad or ugly appeciated:

part the tide with whispers, cant see the forest for the trees,
when ive wasted time by minutes i`d claw back if i could see

paint the town in purple, this mornings burning red,
paid the price and peddled all that i once had, could sell

tried to sell my soul, tried to ease my mind,tried to find a piece of me but contentment i cant find.

torched my writing burning like this naked lifeless sun,
to start anew from somewhere where a man could feel at one

tried to sell my bounty, tried to sell my gold,
but time will take her prize when im all alone and old


heres another

im in a place where everythings shad and nothin is quite what it seems,
the clock on the wall says its quarter to 6 but my wristwatch says seven fifteen.
why all this confusion.

the waitress is wearing a look that says ask me my number and take me on home,
but the ring on her finger says somebodys waitin for her when she unlocks that door.
why all the pretending

i tell myself ill kick this and see my life without all the haze,
i step outside n what i see scares me so i call up a friend and go for a drink.
its not an addiction
its just a means to an end
at the end of my means
in a bar at the end of the street
its just way to keep this boy from findin out sometimes
that life aint really that sweet
its not an addiction

im in a place where everythings wavy and some ghost keeps trippin my feet
so i hold on the bar for dear life in case that same bastard starts shakin my seat
its not a problem
its a means to an end
at the end of my means
on a slippery slope to the floor
its just a way to keep this man from findin his life should o meant just a little bit more
its not a problem

im on the street with a girl and smoke
shes damn ugly but it sure is nice
she wants to teach me a trick involving her mouth and me and some ice
im not refusing

its a means to an end
at the end of my means
with a girl thats as dirty as sin
its just a way to keep this man from waking alone in a bed where a lover had been
im not refusing
why the confusing an addiction woth somethin i need
its not a problem
theres nothing wrong with
wanting sometimes to escape
and my affliction`s
not my addiction
its the confusion of my mental state
yes its a problem
but maybe tomorrow
ill get back on my feet
maybe tomorrrow

[tj]

hey guys... heres two tunes i wrote late last night.. well.. early this morning.. lol

this one hasnt got a title yet...

predict what will happen on the 11th of december,
would you tell us all if you could remember?
mary history is a way for us to see,
who we will become and what we will be...
don't make the same mistakes... twice...

Don't take Me Down,
Don't Let Us Down,

With a whole lifetime mapped,
Why does a man still feel trapped,
And if everything happens for a reason,
How can lies be so decieving?
Wishful thinking... twice..

I can't fall down,
Don't let us down...

Maybe history is a way for us to see,
Who we will become and what we will be...

this one also hasn't got a title yet.. it's got a working title of Sometimes Waiting Is All You Can Do.. personally I think it needs alot of work.

My TV has just one station,
It helps me keep concentration,
On things that are more important,
On things that are more important...

I can let go of time,
But I can't let go of you,
Sometimes Waiting Is All You Can Do

Waiting With Arms Wide Open,
Staying Patient with just knowing,
That soon it'll be come clearer,
It'll become clearer to you...

I can let go of time,
But I can't let go of you,
Sometimes Waiting Is All You Can Do

Revel In Beauty Of A Love Home Grown,
Study the meaning of a sparkless stone,
Does it become clearer,
Is it becoming clearer to you?

[Gaslight]

through even the lightest bright
there is a dark unending night
A dark that turns and pops and snaps
A black that winds and binds and traps
I myself am not afraid
My selfsame trains have already laid
their tracks upon her arms and face
that keeps her steady and in place
the wind blows straight through her eyes
and her worms are doing exercise
they crawl out of her toes and lips
they sketch tattoos upon her hips
B E T R A Y A L
This is exactly what they spell
Why this boils and sweats and stains
I do not know, why does it strain?
What made this black contorted mess
this convulsive false happiness
she looks at me and all seems well
her freckles lead the path to hell
my special serpent writhes and spits
I fall into the cracks upon her lips
her glasses are a shining shield
against the sword my truth wields
But we have driven all this way,
I’ll tell her true some other day.

----------------------------------------------------



Every living thing dies alone (a poem for kids)

There was once a young gent who hurried far too quick.
He waited too slow and the flu made him sick.
His albums were too musical, his impatience a bore.
His hugs were too warm, his ground was too floor.
His wheels were too round, his filth was too dirty.
His chair was too seat, his three tens too thirty.
His god was too holy, his cankers too sore.
His sun was too bright and his zygotes too spore.
His profanity too sweary, his depression too grim.
His love was too truthful, his twin brothers two kin.
His life too carbon based, his ice water too cold.
And like all the others: he grew sad and old.

[gomezxico]

i am amazed by some of the talent on this site!!! wow!!! once again I am dumbfounded by you people!

please forgive some inevitable accent problems. this is my first attempt at writing in another language, and it was much harder than i had hoped.Edited by: samuelle

^is really old but it sure is good. the english translation sucks! it just isn't the same.
I guess i should be posting some of my own work but others posts have honestly scared me--they are just that good.

[misty]

Midnite Song

What could I do?
If I happened to miss you?
Too much later at night
And I couldn't sleep
Up to daybreak

Should I dial your number?
Should I send you short messages?
Asking you silly question
'Cause I knew that only you
Had the answers

Forgive me, I fall in love
Forgive me, I fall in love
Forgive me, I couldn't help it
I'm still in love

[flyaway]

i wondered what you saw in me
as you walked out my door
I realised we agree

if this was a game of proving yourself
another complex way to lose a lover
then I'll take the dice away
I refuse to fall down a snake

questioning why I deserve
why your heart is reserved
for everyone but me.

keep it silent
keep it hushed
keep it faint
and zip me up

keep it secret
keep it quiet
you're climbing as i start to slide.

if this was a game of proving yourself
another complex way to lose a lover
then I'll take the dice away
I refuse to fall down another snake.

ill faited
the dice weighted
always falling to your favour
I'm a quitter
a bull ****ter
i'm sorry that I gave up



Umm, I haven't posted for a while

[maccas81]

^^ those lyrics are pure class....love the bit about keep it quiet and zip me up.....thats brilliant!

[Lazy Life]

'Goodnight New York'

Goodnight New York, I'll miss ya
Goodnight New York, 'till tomorrow
When it'll be 'Good Morning' for ya
Goodnight New York, 'till tomorrow

When you will hold my eyes for at least one more day
When you will hold my eyes for at least one more day

Goodnight New York, 'till tomorrow

[Jarmuschrules]

hey guys, just wrote a great song

and so it is
just like you said it would be
life goes easy on me
most of the time
and so it is
the shorter story
no love no glory
no hero in her skies
i can't take my eyes off of you
and so it is
just like you said it should be
we'll both forget the breeze
most of the time
and so it is
the colder water
the blower's daughter
the pupil in denial
i can't take my eyes off of you
did I say that I loathe you?
did I say that I want to
leave it all behind?
i can't take my mind off of you
my mind
'til I find somebody new

but i think it wont be good

[Juzzza]

Sorry Jarm... that's crap, it will NEVER take off.

I wouldn't listen to it a million times... work it out so I can sing it myself because I love it so much... it would NEVER be selected to feature in a movie soundtrack... Somebody famous say, Gary Lightbody from Snowpatrol for instance, would never cover it on the radio...nah, sorry dude... try again.
