It seems like a song best played by the person who wrote it,i hope there's a meter/rhythm/tune in your head because it doesn't fit into anything that could be described as a pattern, you're all over the place writing down whatever comes into your head and praying that it makes sense(which it doesn't) try and gain some sense of direction instead of closing your eyes bumping about the place in the dark....the volume of your work is impressive but the sentiments are muddled and forlorn of any meaning outside of your warped perceptions....instead of spending so much time on different ideas try to sort out each one at a time.

I'm sure your writing will benefit from it and will cease to be so much like whatever song you're listening to as you write.

Add my name to that list
i am now up for it
ive considered all possibilities
i know whats mine and i know whats his.
Give it to me any way
you heard it from me, you hear what i say.
Pour it, to the top
a clean glass please, cus i dont like slop.
Im here to win collect that cheque,
i wont be first to hit the deck.

Drinking for profit, and for glory
i wont be beaten,not in this story
i will be cashing, in that cheque
see its got my name on it.

It was not long before the final
staged every year close to the urinals
just in case we have to dive in quick
to release, and be chronically sick.

Gather round and watch the best man win
knocked out on the deck a blow to the chin.
Respect, learn to shut it,
the cheque vanished i didn't see it.

Well fek, fek the feking cheque.

Yo move your behind
your getting lazier by the hour
just cus you havent got a job
its not right to become a slob
all your friends are in college
but you took a year out
now your just plain lazy
and thats whats making me shout.

don't you want to get a bike
ride it where you like
in your account lots of doe
so you can enjoy all the more
what is wrong with you
this person isn't you
how can i reach you, you are better than this.

Dont take up alcahol or the weed
it will kill you yes indeed
it will take your personality
it will blind your mind
you will become untrusting,
and my son will nolonger shine

Get out of bed and buy a paper
il take you into town later
visit the job centre and agencies to
by the will of god there will be a job for you.

You know i chase anyone in a skirt
you new when you were with me i was a flirt
and now you know i can't be trusted
the thought of me, well your disgusted
you have every right to think that
theres not a day that goes by, i know i'm a prat
theres no-one as good as you, i want you back

Your the first iv'e ever wanted to run back to
theres no-one i can love but you
its been a while but now im facing facts
i now know the meaning of tact, i want you back.
Im dying inside i haven't been out for a week
this should make you smile, its you that makes my life worthwhile
I thought i could two time you
its one of lifes little pleasures
its something i had to do,but now i know your a priceless treasure.

Give me back my freedom, i feel nailed to the floor
i don't want to feel this way anymore
call me when you get this letter
i'm now a changed man, i can be better
you know i'm not the kind to write such stuff
its not a whirlwind of guff, i just miss you so much.

Covered from head to foot in treacle
being eaten from a mixture of people
from all races and creed
all those hungry mouths to feed.
Tied up by lace and leather
an onslaught of tickling feathers
eatig me alive, is there a better way to die.
I'm sex crazy, i want to do it with everyone
here today gone tomorrow want to have fun.
is there anything i haven't cosidered, well not yet,
feel free to suggest, iv'e just exploded im soaking wet.
There not stopping, and i'm still willing,
this is a great story, a real killing.
For those who are affended turn away,
i'm busy anyway, night and day.
And for those who don't get it, i know a few,
your heads are in a hot pot your in a stew.
I can't talk now there getting close and personal,
i will see you again tomorrow, for more gore.

chard · 05-07-2009, 03:55 PM

Yes the one and only, theirs no chorus in this one.

From out of the blue,there stood you
you just stood star ing at me
i couldn't believe, my eyes
it was a nice surprise
Then you walked over to me
it was like we were mean't to be
written in my destiny.

You had jet black hair
and your skin so fair
high heeled snake skin boots
lost, you had taken the wrong route.

Lucky for me, we met at all
you so pretty, standing so tall
when our eyes crossed, it was the beginning and the end
you turning out to be more than a friend.
