hey folks, i was wondering would anyone like to share their lyrics? i think it'd be cool to see what we all write about and talk about our songs! and then perhaps start up a band if we meet musicians like each other and haven't already got bands!
i'll start, this is a song about someone i used to hang out with in my first year at uni, she went on this busking trip around NZ without telling her mum who got real worried and called me 'cos she thought she was depressed and had run away or something, which got me worried too and so i wrote this in an e-mail to her later after she'd come home even though there was nothing to be concerned about
Thank you for being my friend
Why do you feel so sad about everything
Could you tell me?
I pray that you been keeping well
That's what friends are for
You remind me of why I was allowed to
Place my life in God's hands in the first place
Remember to look after yourself
Don't go too far and risk your life
'Cos life's so special
I know yours is
I admire you lots too
You sure are special
Even after all this time
And everything you've been through
Don't forget that we do appreciate you
And that God still loves you
Whatever you do
Pray that you're taking care of yourself
Have a beautiful time being alive
Know that you're beautiful too, in God's eyes
in case anyone's interested in what this sounds like, a badly performed and recorded version is available at

Hmm yep okay here's a song from my band "left for dead"
It's called "LOST AND BOUND":
--------------------------------
I've come to know you well, silently watching
You think you have it all, see me take it
So self-assured - you're never safe
You don't know I can see you my ignorant prey
Follow in the night - hunting, stalking
I can smell your innocence, your youth, I loathe it
I want to make you scream, beg and whimper
You will soon be mine, in my cage of fear
Looking down on you - so pathetic
What can you do now? Trapped animal
You thought you had such worth - now you're worthless
You won't get out alive - alone in darkness left to die
I'll make you hate your life, then lost and bound you'll die
Lost and bound
I'll never be found
Desperation is striking me down
Have to get out
This is freaking me out
But no-one hears my screams for help
Lost and bound
Rope around your wrists, tightly burning
Tied behind your back, struggle futile
They'll never find you here, until you're rotting
You won't get out alive - alone in darkness left to die
Lost and bound you'll die
Lost and bound
Lost and bound
I'll never be found
Desperation is striking me down
Have to get out
This is freaking me out
But no-one hears my screams for help
Lost and bound
Never be found
--------------------------------
Now, before I get some pop-song loving critic coming along and telling me I should be writing about lala stuff like rainbows and butterflies instead of all this horrible negative stuff, these lyrics AREN'T WHAT I ACTUALLY THINK. This is meant to be written from the view-point of a deranged serial killer who stalks young female victims and ties them up somewhere and leaves them to starve and die, except the chorus (the part beginning with "lost and bound..."), which is written from the view point of the victim. Think of it as a thriller/horror movie but audio only.
Please don't take this the wrong way ...
Please don't take this the wrong way .. but I've read your Lyrics and see what your doing in telling a story as such, but I find the read abit too full of explanation if I can .. you fill in the blanks .. a song should sometimes be a mind tease as well .. leave it to the listener to fill in the space .. you wrote ..
I've come to know you well, silently watching
you think you have it all, see me take it
so self assured, your never safe
you don't know I can see you my ignorant prey
I read it as
I've come to know you well
You think you have it all
So self assured, your never safe
you are my ignorant prey
Sorry if it's not the reply you wanted, but I see less is more maybe in this case .. I'm not a song writer so please don't take this as gospel, it's just an observation .. nice job on the song front all the same.
Hey, not at all. I'm quite new at ...
Hey, not at all. I'm quite new at writing lyrics so any constructive criticism is useful. I do like being descriptive though...
Your new at this ...!!!! :-) I've ...
Your new at this ...!!!! :-) I've never written a thing on the song front before ...!!!! but I just thought it was alittle over written, as you say you like to be descriptive .. if you still want your original lyrics .. maybe try getting someone to whisper the words I took out .. like "silently watching" and " see me take it", but to be honest I still stick with less is more in this case ...
Our market economy is just like a ...
Our market economy is just like a standard balloon
but you think it can keep on forever expanding to the moon,
Our earth economy is just like an expanding rubber band,
automatically stretching to the plans of it’s brother – man,
it cant keep on – we’ve pushed her boundaries to the limit,
we’ve pinched and punched and pulled and pushed and pounded every minute,
we’ve shook and shoved and shifted shores and shat in every crevice,
and when folks like me stand up and shout – “we flatten any menace”
we’ve been misguided by this tide of blinded thinking
its time to step off about now cos this ride is sinking
we are taught success is ‘riches’ but what sequel is next?
We are all stress or depressed - and why? cos we’re a people oppressed.
But we’ve been misguided by a tide of selfish systems
they tell us how we ought to be – then try and help us listen.
we are destroying tomorrow so we can have a free today
but this freedom is a western illusion and cannot be the way
this freedom is divisive, it’s selfish and complex
it says you can have what ever you wish if you’ve got bank bonds and cheques,
the list is real long, there’s an A – Zed of what’s wrong,
on and on and on and there’s a common thread all along,
denominator or common dominator – but at a price?
Sacrifice the parasites and this world is paradise,
If we focus on ‘needs’ we eliminate the greed,
assimilate with me and simulate being freed,
I’m breaking these chains cos I am far from a slave
we need to bury this system and dance upon it’s grave
this is the one i was trying to ...
this is the one i was trying to find.
it's sort of my christian song. but it has a twist in the tail...
...then the Lord God placed man in the Garden of Eden to tend and care for it saying,
“man shall be the master of all life upon the earth, in the skies and in the seas”
now i've got a bone to pick with some of you so called christians,
still under the stick of the knowing all miscreant
this reason - you are more concerned with saving souls
than saving our planet - now a blaze of coals,
and we are slaves to trolls like in days of old
although the graves they promise aren’t paved with gold,
they are paved in vermin wearing masks of worth
in all the sermons - i never hear you ask the words:
"why do christians not care about this task on earth?"
did god not appoint you carer of his crafted earth,
heavens promise doesn't meant you disregard the earth,
or does your lack of care stem from thought that last is first,
that phrase was to keep you poor and was the pastors’ words,
we could learn more grace and wisdom from papa smurf,
and this prism of glass placed under this plaster hurts,
here's a stone perfect christian - you can cast it first,
sometimes we all think we are perfect - perfect,
then someone takes our bubble and bursts it – bursts it,
and shows us our lives in another perspective,
time to change your sect or join another collective.
sometimes we just think we are perfect - perfect,
when someone grabs our bubble and bursts it – bursts it,
to expose us to info from another prospectus,
time to change your sect or start another collective.
so this bastard bush starts murdering half the earth,
and you tread the same path to Burger King after church.
"there's more nutrients consuming after birth"
but that's not the issue when the cars all swerve,
and your eardrums burst when the blast is heard,
it's not a trumpet blast - it's the last gasp of earth,
but laughter's the best medicine - so just laugh away,
and when problems pile up - disregard the day
'it's such hard work being a christian' - so not!
IT'S HARD WORK BEING A ROBOT, so stop.
'but this daily bombardment of sin is such terror,
how can i walk within weeds with no error?"
well take these laws and fight it right at the cause,
not at your own front doors. In light of these wars,
would you fight for these shores? "doubt it"
then fight before there's need for war - don’t just think about it,
just wake up and shout it - you are allowed to.
apparently god's not watching what you do, god's watching what you don't do,
so is it right that you sit back and enjoy the show,
while they pillage and destroy the only home we know?

You've met a little devil
So why don't we do something naughty?
Just let me bully you a little
Come on, let me play for a bit.
That's the way the devil loves you
You've got to expect a bit of pain
That's the way the devil loves you
You've got to expect a bit of pain
You can struggle and you can struggle
But you're wasting your time resisting like that
Don't cry, don't cry
Don't cry, you're a man aren't you?
That's the way the devil loves you
You've got to expect a bit of pain
That's the way the devil loves you
You've got to expect a bit of pain

This is a song that I've been writing ...
This is a song that I've been writing called Hung Like A Tornado. Sorry the lyrics aren't finalized yet, they need some twiddling and stuff, so I've just posted everything I've got. Try to imagine it being sung in a Twisted Sister fashion. It's also inspired by the Scorpions song Rock You Like A Hurricane, which is similarly over the top, although less sexual (far as I know... hmm, I've never actually checked out the lyrics).
This song can be analyzed line by line, and the ironies chuckled over at will. Self deprecating humour features strongly.
Be aware that this song is just a comedy song, sheesh, I'll probably record it to a low quality demo and never do it with my band.
VERSE 1
As you take my knob into your mouth
A porn star couldn't fit it all inside!
I'll loop the loop, and corkscrew roll
And a hundred and one other moves besides!
VERSE 2 OR BRIDGE MAYBE
Let's make the beast with two backs, cause when you stand there like that
Well it makes a man wanna just EXPLODE!
So come here and get rocked, it's like an electric shock
Till you're begging me to loose my heavy load
PRECHORUS
"Is it in yet?" I hear you scream
My loins are burning like gasoline
CHORUS
I'm
HUNG!, like a tornado baby, You're
STACKED! like a volcano, girl, I get
SPRUNG! like a jackhammer when you're near...
The Jap's eye of the hurricane
Get up on this whirlwind
Thrusting in and thrusting out
What do you think of my sauerkraut?
My balls slap against you, like tiny maracas
I've got you in chains, just like B. A. Baracus
Before you know it, it's all over
Like a dog whose name is Rover
I am the Casanova to your Anna Kournikova
With my hands gently fondling your White Cliffs of Dover
I just can't get enough
But I just can't get it up!
"Is it in yet?" I hear you cry/ sigh
You're yawning with pleasure, satisfied!
"Is it in yet?" I hear you shout
"Is it in yet?" I hear you say,
My little friend is in all the way
No other man can love you a dozen times a day
