'Life I Want to Live'

You've got a hold of my heart
Now we're not apart
I've made a new start
Your love has set me free
I've only just learnt to see
How you looked after me

I'm with you hand in hand
Across the desolate land
I'll cross the burning sand
To show

You give me the life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give
Oh close by me, best by far
You are to me, my morning star

You give me the life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give

Only you can bring a brighter day
Only you drive my tears away
Only you laughing by the fire
Only you can take loving higher

I'm with you hand in hand
Across the desolate land
I'll cross the burning sand
To show

You give me the life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give
Oh close by me, best by far
You are to me, my morning star

You give me the life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
(Life I want to live)
Life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give

You give me the life I want to live
You give me the life I want to give
Oh close by me, best by far
You are to me, my morning star

You give me the life I want to live

Edge of Regret
"The edge of regret is the dread of complacency.
the ledge of neglect, is the bridge of respect and the span of monstrosity
You've got things on your chest that you need to confess, does that imply mediocrity? No, No, No!
The edge of regret is the dread of complacency

When disbelief is suspended and your neighbourhood upended, thats the work of some democracy
The edge of regret respects the lack of competency

There's two ways to regress, astride the blade of regret; thats the height of pomposity
The edge of respect is the fear of malignancy

If you do not respect, expect regret to gain ascendancy"

Monkeys
"Jealousy, is really someone's fantasy, like queuing up for the latest ink, think how you can see me as some bomb, dropping napalm on your quest for dominion, who would have thought we could both be so so-so socially. You were the Sun, that made me wanna shrink. Stripped right back, my fat can mask that threat - it can aid and abet you wanna know what makes me wanna think; no! Shrimpy blimp, grinch, hey thats my name 'Grinch' - say my name say it lik you never want another drink... wasted visit to the sink, rinky dink - Oh not another wrinkle. Eviscerated, abandoned be your own soul. All things spent observes some stupid wretched hole. Throw out the excess self-pity, clear out the excess...You were the Sun, that made me wanna shrink; thought me how to be, how to live authoritarianistically - free.
Fantasy, is really someone's fantasy - like queuing up for the latest ink, think...how you can see me as some bomb, dropping napalm on your quest for dominion, you would have thought we could both be so so-so.
Jealousy, is really someone's fantasy, like moving up, to the next link. Think!"

'Drugs'

I've been feeling a little out of my way lately
I've been dealing with problems everyday
You listen from behind your wall of never ending doubt
Never hearing, never seeing what my pain is all about

And now I'm on drugs
Wanting to go party out in the clubs
But I didn't mean to get addicted to drugs
All I really want is you and your hugs
Now I'm on drugs

Think I've been going somewhere I haven't been before
Wanting me to go above the rest was all I did this for
You listen from behind your wall of never ending doubt
Never hearing, never seeing what my pain is all about

And now I'm on drugs
Wanting to go party out in the clubs
But I didn't mean to get addicted to drugs
All I really want is you and your hugs
Now I'm on drugs

Now I'm on drugs
Now I'm on drugs

I've been feeling a little out of my way lately
I've been dealing with problems everyday

I've been feeling a little out of my way lately
I've been dealing with problems everyday

And now I'm on drugs
Wanting to go party out in the clubs
But I didn't mean to get addicted to drugs
All I really want is you and your hugs

And now I'm on drugs
Wanting to go party out in the clubs
But I didn't mean to get addicted to drugs
All I really want is you and your hugs
Now I'm on drugs

Now I'm on drugs
Now I'm on drugs
Now I'm on drugs
Now I'm on drugs
Now I'm on drugs
Now I'm on drugs

'Predicted Failure'

It was one Tuesday
I found out the truth
You were going the wrong way
Now you look like a fool

Can't believe you thought that I was a traitor
Go on dude talk ****, I will see you later
I was your true friend but now I'm a hater
Don't ever ask me to do you any favours

I just want you to know
I really still care
But the way you treated me
Just wasn't very fair

It was a predicted failure
I thought we were doing something so major
But now it turns out, it was a predicted failure
I guess that's your nature
Predicted failure

It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure

Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure
Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure

I had thought
That you were the one
But instead all you gave
Me was a shot from a gun

I was your true friend but now I'm a hater
Don't ever ask me to do you any favours

I just want you to know
I really still care
But the way you treated me
Just wasn't very fair

It was a predicted failure
I thought we were doing something so major
But now it turns out, it was a predicted failure
I guess that's your nature
Predicted failure

It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure

Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure
Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure

So you go and think you can my break my heart
But all you are doing is ripping your life apart
Farewell to you and all your future
Just know that I won't be there with ya

Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure
Predicted failure

It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure
It was a predicted failure

Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure
Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure

Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure
Now I won't be your saviour
And it was, was, was, it was, was, was
A predicted failure

A predicted failure
A predicted failure
A predicted failure

'Infamous'

Sryan Bruen
Sryan Bruen's in the house
Infamous
Let's go

Gotta avoid being thrown in to the infamous pen
Cuz I can barely stick with my skin
The time for your crime is caving in
But tonight I am staying in
Cuz outside it's raining sin
You will never in your life
Meet a more infamous person than me
Middle east, an arranged marriage
Had not choice but to be
Give me the key to your innocence
They call me infamous cause I'm villainous
They call me infamous cause I'm dangerous
They call me infamous cause I'm villainous
They call me infamous cause I'm dangerous
They call me infamous cause I'm villainous
They call me infamous cause I'm dangerous
They call me infamous cause I'm villainous

Uploaded videos now I'm infamous
Can't believe that I thought I was famous
Across the world I'm infamous
But I don't give a **** about you's

Uploaded videos now I'm infamous
Can't believe that I thought I was famous

Unlimited powers, crash the internet for hours
This what it sound like if I sent my dad letters
Call that bitch rondo
I'm fresher than the prom
Yo teach her, we don't fly coach
She ****in' but she act dumb
He told me it was nice,
I blasted off to the internet to search his debut album
That bastard was buzzing like woody so we get it for free
Without money you couldn't be a internet emcee
Not mine, I'm with wale, I'm just a tourist on the set
And anyway, you hear all of these bad things on the internet
Infamous

Walking around in a bitches thong listening to Elton John
I'll be cursing out like the people on internet talking about Islam
Came from the bottom, aiming for the top
Cuz on the internet, you all talk
I don't use the internet for my rhymes
I'm old school
Always have an encyclopedia

'Velvet Time'

Every day I think of coming home to you
And every time I do, all I want is you
Can't dream of a night without you
Your skin is soft, it's hard to believe
And when you have me up your sleeve
I know that it's velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

Before you arrived, nights were full of pain
Nobody came to me 'cause my life was so plain
Oh it's that time again

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

Every day I think of coming home to you
And every time I do, all I want is you
And now it's velvet time
And now it's velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time
I've been waiting for a moment in all my life
Like velvet time

It's all in the mind
It's velvet time

'Moments'

You may have been talking to me just a little
But I always liked to hear your giggle
And enjoy every minute
You did spend with me

And so you go, go on out
Show 'em what it's all about
But you deserve it
You will always find me

Living out our moments
I won't forget our moments
You and I had our moments
And I'm tellin' you
I won't forget our moments

I hope you don't think I'm joking
You go live your dream but don't be smoking
Haha but seriously focus, now
I won't forget our moments

I hope you're listening
To every word I am saying
Can't believe you're gonna be visiting
Us someday

And so you go, go on out
Show 'em what it's all about
But you deserve it
You will always find me

Living out our moments
I won't forget our moments
You and I had our moments
And I'm tellin' you
I won't forget our moments

I hope you don't think I'm joking
You go live your dream but don't be smoking
Haha but seriously focus, now
I won't forget our moments
Won't forget our moments

'Regrets We Share'

Dark long nights
The nightmare goes on
Aggressive unnecessary fights

Life what have you become
The regrets we share
Were what made us one
Now he just stares at me

No one knows the pain we feel
When friendship ceases to be real
When the pain outweighs the fun
When it's all just a humourless pun

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

Life what have you become
The regrets we share
Were what made us one
Now he just stares at me

I won't let go to what we have left
When I met you, I thought I was blessed

You felt like the last piece to my puzzle
But all you truly were was more trouble

Life what have you become
The regrets we share
Were what made us one
Now he just stares at me

You drew a line I rubbed it out
Eliminating fear and doubt
You took a step I took one too
Knowing what we have to do

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

Life what have you become
The regrets we share
Were what made us one
Now he just stares at me

The regrets we share
Were what made us one

Lyrics. Something that has prevented me from writing anything more than instrumental music over the years. Feedback most welcome on this. First draft. I'm going to come back to it again and again and refine. The guitar parts I wrote are crying out for a lyric, and this is what has come into my head:

don't break your heart
before you start
to give it up to pick apart
don't sell your soul
before you're old
just try to build up your defences

your eyes are wide
it's no surprise
that you don't see through all my lies
just make your mind
up from the start
that both of us will do our part this time

did you think you'd stay alone
did you think you'd stay alone

I've run for miles, in search of smiles
*something something something something*
won't sell my soul
before I'm old
I'll try to build up my defences

'Missed Your Flight'

South of Spain, lookin' lame
Walkin' down those white clad lanes
Fiesta all night, siesta all day
Sippin' on cokes out by the bay
Layin' on the beach without a care
Wind blowing sand through your hair
And
Missed your flight, now you're alone
Nowhere to go except home
It could've been good, it would've been great
You're too late, your mistake

Forever and ever, you're never wherever
Forever and ever, you're never wherever

It's a lonely road to travel down
When your life's all about just what you want
Transfixed on your own happiness
Those who care about you stay shut out
You choose to ignore the feelings
Of the ones who'd love to share your dreams
So you live in the shadow and your friends leave
Now you missed your flight
You knew that you had to do what's right
Then you turned yourself out like a light

Forever and ever, you're never wherever
Forever and ever, you're never wherever

One from a long, long time ago. Think I wrote these when I was 17. Not sure how these things work in terms of getting a feel for how they sound when you don't know the melody etc. Insomnia dictates I do something at this hour however

'The story started, just like a rollercoaster,
one that doomed to crash
Standing on the platform,
I waved and let you go (and)
Now I know there'd no turning back.

Once a moment,
Now a memory (and)
Now and I only see you in my dreams
So far yet, so near,
Its the closest I get to, having you here

All day long inside this bubble,
That I have come to call my world,
Seasons come and take their toll,
Thoughts of you pierce my soul.'

Verse, bridge, chorus. Repeat the bridge and chorus.

That was basically it I think. Very basic notes also but a big deal for me when I was just starting out writing and playing live

(There actually may have been a second verse, I am thinking there was but for the life of me I can't remember it right now!)

StringerBell · 24-12-2017 5:57am

Hell I'll throw in another one, was a poem initially but put it to a piece of music.

"She's gone,
left me here all alone
No one to love
No place to call home, anymore.

Its been,
a long time since she went away,
Some more have come but none have stayed,
Too long.

I know that, I'm sad and
I know that, makes me mad just
Thinking bout, what we had and
Which one of us was, to blame
Yeah well
**** it, your all the same.

But I still remember your name,
I wonder could you say the same?
Freeze when you walk down the hall
Would you even know me at all?

She's gone,
left me here all alone,
no one to love, no place to call home
anymore."

Full of teen angst around that time obviously!

StringerBell · 19-01-2018 12:49pm

Its not right
Cuz I'm turning on the tv screen
All I see is people crying, people hurting people dying,
Epidemic hate and war, not knowing
What the fight is for
Mothers praying for their sons
Lets stop the hurt
Lay down the guns

Its not right
It should take so much for us to see
Right through the hurt though the lies
A mindset of hypocrisy
Its all ok as long as its not
Happening upon your door
You can turn the channel over, if you don't want to see more

When will we wake up, and realise
This ways no good, not anymore
When will we see that loves the dream that
We should all be fighting for
When will wake up
And just feel love
Just feel love

Its about time
Start looking at whats hid beneath, expose the truth stop buying lies
That pays to paint the war torn skies
Our money fuels the war machine that puts an end to unborn dreams
Our money helps to feed the flames that lends its name to hatreds game

Its about time that we stop believing all the hype
The bull****s smeared on every page and now we don't know wrong from right
Infects us from an early age this system just provides a cage
That has no place for our free will
We're choking on its bitter pill

Its truth,that we been choosing not to see
We think of it from time to time and then dispel it from our minds
The image on the TV screen, is the raping of somebody's dream
Its not enough to sit and pray the **** just happens every day

Yeah and its truth
That we been choosing not to see
Disease is gonna take us all
Its breaking through Africas wall
We've gotta stand come one and all
Educate or else we fall
We've all got blood beneath our skin
Its time we start to look within

When will we wake up and realise this ways no good, not anymore
Wehn will we see that loves the dream that we should all be fighting for
When will we wake up and just feel love
Just feel love

And its real
Cause we see it happen everyday,
But most of us just walk on by and simply turn our head away
Remove the kind, from human kind
Why give us eyes when most are blind?
Whats happened to the world today, its changed in every single way

Yeah its real
When somebodys taken from your life
It hurts like nothing else you'll know, no room to breath, no where to go
Stop looking at the things you see
As if they don't apply to me
Start thinking of the peoples hurt
Value of what lives are worth

When will we wake up, and realise this ways no good
Not anymore
When will we see that loves the dream that we should
All be fighting for
When will we wake up and just feel love
Just feel love
Just feel love
