    '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

    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

    She ****in' but she act dumb
    He told me it was nice,

    '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!)

    "People say ‘go with the flow’ but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish."

    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!

    "People say ‘go with the flow’ but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish."

    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

    "People say ‘go with the flow’ but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish."
