Mile High Club
Not sure how well the lyric fits with the music but I hope you enjoy:
So glad she shared an aisle with me On this magic flight to Angel City Worked up the nerve to ask her Where she's from and what she's after You turn me on You turn me on Care to join the Mile High Club? She said I know I will achieve stardom Known it since I was in kindergarten You claim you're in the movies But you only want to use me I turn you on I turn you on I won't join your Mile High Club! You need agents Please have patience I'll make you a star! You turn me on You turn me on Care to join the Mile High Club? Can't forget her I never got her name Can't forget her I never got her name Can't forget her I never got her name Can't forget her I never got her name |

Siren Song
Always remained faithful
And my love was sincere But it became shameful When your Siren Song entered my ears Seemed like a true godsend 'Cause our first date was fun Thought I'd a new girlfriend But your Siren Song left me with none How could you let me go Become locked in your sights Just for your big ego 'Cause your Siren Song gave you the right Stringing me along With your Siren Song Many a man chose you With your boldness that shocks I should've known those who Hear the Siren Song crash on the rocks |

Regret (a heavy tune)
Put your house in order my friend
Soon your life will come to an end With this task You will ask Have you done more harm than good Self reflection wasn't your style Now you put your conduct on trial Will it sting Wondering Have you done more harm than good This is what you get Living with regret Was your business done in good faith Did you leave your loot in the safe With you wealth Ask yourself Have you done more harm than good This is what you get Living with regret Never you worry 'bout judgment Evryone makes some mistakes Ev'rything that's hateful to you Did you bring to people you knew Anyhow Question's now Have you done more harm than good This is what you get Living with regret |

I liked this, but it did seem a bit overdone with the repitition, which seems to be a commonality with your writing (from what I've read thus far).
Other than that, not too shabby. Good verses and a subtle, yet acceptable couplet for the chorus. The best part in my opinion was Quote:

Repetition is necessary in a song. I like your rhyme within rhyme, and to me if you put the line back together as so, it seems more clever and doesn't quite appear forced:
"Put your house in order my friend Soon your life will come to an end With this task; you will ask Have you done more harm than good Self reflection wasn't your style Now you put your conduct on trial Will it sting; wondering Have you done more harm than good" for example. This way, you cannot visually see the effort in the rhyming...but it flows so nicely. Separating the line makes the reader pause the line, IMO. Especailly in lyrics, forcing rhymes adds a cheesiness to something that, well, is not cheesy at all. Not sure if I like how you end EVERY verse with "Have you done more harm that good" BUT if your song has guitar melody (or intrumental interludes, piano or something) in place of a pre-chorus, or pre-verse, just to break it up - then yes you can be as repetitive as you want. In my opinion, the presentation and how you deliver your words is equally as important of the quality and content of your work. Then again, your format might be your preference. I am only expressing my own. Last edited by Frozen Angel; 01-15-2009 at 07:51 PM. Reason: wanted to say more than I did |
