alright we wouldnt want to incur lauren's wrath -


something I wrote and recorded a few years ago- called "stole a car"


I took a trip down the street passed the place we used to meet


all those years ago


And what was that I heard you say as I watched you walk away


well I guess i'll never know


So I stole a car and ran away headed for the break of day


as though I was in a dream


but after I had another drink so I didnt have to think


about when we were seventeen


So here I am as I was before drunk and standing outside your door


praying that your not with him


two shadows behind the glass and my heart is beating fast


as the lights begin to dim


So I forgot about my shame and I shouted out your name


to be met by silence


and then I counted up to 10 and shouted out again


to be met by his violence


So the moral of the story here kids is dont get drunk, steal a car and drive to your ex girlfriends as her new boyfriend will probably beat you up![img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]


And before you ask its not autobiographical - well not completely anyway[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

He washed the blood from his hands,
as he stared at his face in dismay.
The water ran red,
He'll find no peace today.

She slumped on the floor
with her head in her hands,
her rain soaked hair,
had been chopped into strands.

She'd not speak a word,
or look at his face
She wished she had stopped him.
she hung her head in disgrace.

His mind ran wild
with the horror of the night
He'd killed a child,
a child taken out of fright.

The child had been running
through the woods while at play.
He'd found their black roses
but would not leave that place today.

They'd kept a secret
throughout all these years,
Scared of the truth being discovered,
the child fuelled their fears.

He says "we'll forget it all now,
wash the blood down the sink"
but she always will remember,
her hands forever stained pink.

He says "we will bury the body,
neath the black rose.
We'll say we never saw him,
make sure no one knows.

Make sure no one knows,
No one will ever know,
They will never know."

^^ Hey Phil... I didn't quite get this one, it seems like there is something under the surface meaning but maybe it's too inside to get? But I've read your other stuff too and just wanted to say...


[img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img]


What is the symbology/meaning of the black rose btw?


Your lyrics are lovely too Nathaniel... it's always nice when they come with a moral or life lesson! [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

hey...thanks, i suppose this wasnt the best one to post....


it's part of a series, all linked by the black rose.


you can see the whole thing here: www.freewebs.com/philbo


along with one or two other songs i have...im reluctant to go into the whole meaning of things.....everyone takes their own interpretation from songs, so i leave it for each person to decide.

Have just written a second verse toa song of mine, it's already been recorded by my friend Matt & now he's even talkin about putting MY vocals on it! He's such a sweetie. Anyhoo, what do u guys think?
Fall<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
Listen to me
I’m not speaking
Listen carefully
Can you hear me breathing?
I know the pattern your heart makes
I know your smile when it’s fake
So will you sing a song only I can understand?
Will you walk by my side as I travel through this land?
And should I stumble will you lend me your hand?
So I don’t fall down
You are the one who clears my sight
Helps me to see what’s wrong and what’s right
And shelters my body with yours at night
Without you I’d fall down

Hold on to me
I’m still waiting
Hold me tenderly
Just to stop the shaking
I know the fall of your footsteps
I know your joys and your regrets
So will you sing a song only I can understand?
Will you walk by my side as I travel through this land?
And should I stumble will you lend me your hand?
So I don’t fall down
You are the one who clears my sight
Helps me to see what’s wrong and what’s right
And shelters my body with yours at night
Without you I’d fall down

hope someone eventually sees this. this is the first verse of a song that i wrote almost exactly a year ago. here goes


so it is sad that its gonna end like this


theres a smile on your face but with two clenched fists


one holding onto something thats slipping through your fingers


the other packed tight aiming straight at strangers and a strangers what i am though id rather be the water thats slipping through your fingers that you love so much harder. thats all that i can remember off the top of my head. enjoy ripping it apart.

here are some small pieces I wrote long time ago:

we decide to make it right

but now I realize

it's for me only one more comprimise

am I the one who pay the prize

It seems the butterflings lost their wings

and halo...





the view from this window

would be somewhat greater

with you by my side but

where are you?

I tried every kind of glasses and amphetamines

and all I can say is

the view from this window

would be somewhat greater

with you by my side

K 1st time doin this so lets give it a shot[img]smileys/smiley9.gif[/img], and all remarks good or bad would be really helpful!:


I refuse to let you hurt me,


like I've been hurt before,


I've thrown away the key,
So to never open that door.

I will shed no more tears for you,
It won't make you come back,
I'll just learn my lesson so,
I won't be vulnerable to attack.

Perhaps I am better on my own,
'cos then I Know who to trust
I wanted you to be truthful,
But at what cost?

My feelings for you are ever true,
Please know that I will miss you.

I'm so cold, son

I've been cold and I've been hard
I may have been a less than open soul, no apologies
I've been broke and I've been made
I've lied and stole to get you where you are, I'd do it all again
I'm not about to break down, without the rain we'd never see the sun

but I'm cold son
I'm so cold son
I'm cold son
I'm so cold son... cold son

All my life I've never shed a tear
I've never dropped down to my knees
through you I know that I'll live on

I pulled you down I picked you up
I made you strong and now you're on your own, you know where I am
I find it hard I find it strange, to tell you what I feel, too late for regrets
I'm not about to break down, without the rain we'd never see the sun

but I'm cold son
I'm so cold son
I'm cold son
I'm so cold son... cold son

All my life I've never shed a tear
I've never dropped down to my knees
through you I know that I'll live on

nice justin nice mate -


this is called In Her Sky


Shes colder than she used to be...and secretly,


I'll choke myself to sleep on her...complacency,


Her ego affects her speech so her beauty is just out of reach and this is where,it gets so typical


I cant fly, even in her sky, I cant fly, even though I try, I cant fly, burdened with her last goodbye and my tears have stained her skin


All wrapped in cotton wool...i must be the fool,


from all that shes done before...I'm scarred and I'm sore,


She walks down a narrow road but its overgrown now or so I'm told and this is where, she will come to clip my wings


chorus and stuff

No matter


Glad you think I'm a good one
and it's nice to know friends agree
but I can tell you're still not sure
not one hundred percent it should be me

don't stay because you should do
or because of the things I do
being special or nice or a good one
in the end won't be enough for you

CHORUS

It doesn't matter that you should
it matters that you don't
this is a one-way street
and it's lonely here waiting for you

2

I can tell that you wish you did
but it's plain you ain't feeling it
maybe it's too soon and your heart
is still with someone else or just not with me

you can't pick whom how or when
but you can be honest with me
If it doesn't fit it's worse to force it
it builds my hopes up to crush them you see

CHORUS

It doesn't matter that you should
it matters that you don't
this is a one-way street
and it's lonely here waiting for you

Ok, ive been writing a new song, its not finished but im uber pleased with it so tell me what u think!


Its called Coffee Cups and Bed Hair...
Winter’s so much colder when you’re gone
I walked around for hours catching raindrops on my tongue
Wandering streets alone, reluctant to go home
Cause I know I’m facing videos and ready meals for one
<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />
Coffee cups and bed hair
Reflect the night before
My bed is cold and still bare
My heart still cracked and sore

Rooms echo silence when your not here
I walked around for ages, shirt undone and footsteps bare
Listening to screams that shattered dying dreams
And I know I’m facing bed sheets that smell faintly of your hair

Coffee cups and bed hair
Reflect the night before
My bed is cold and still bare
My heart still cracked and sore

heres a story-song...love and forever are personified as cities


theres a place called always where love often resides
love lives there its whole life and there it often dies
and in always, theres a land called forever
and theyre quite few in numbers
but the get by just the same
and forever its a long time
for the sun to always shine
a shadow not to be cast
cause theres light in every corner


oh forever, you wouldnt let me in your gates
if i brought just another pretty face
but i suppose thats for the better
because always, and forever have their own patterns
light their streets with different lanterns
but thats no matter. lets keep forever, together.


now forevers dying, while always thrives
neon lights light up a once starry sky
nearby forever's weeping, not for its own demise
but for the pain thats cast upon a sinless starry sky


oh always, will you always be like this?
take a lesson from forever, and open up your fists
to open hearts, but be sure to close your gates because
the floods are surely bound to come, and no love needs to die.


and so it is, as its been always before
always always always forgets to shut the door
and in comes the water, and in comes the tide
bringing in the shells and fish to die
piled up now nearly miles high
