Ding Ding

I was fiddling with my pen one day

Wrote down a few thoughts that were in my head
Added a melody and some strings
Made a song; poof! Out of nothing

My friends loved it, the first time they heard
They convinced me, I was more than just a nerd
I gave it a shot and luck played its part
Holy guacamole! I became a star

Land of Beautiful Women

I met this girl

When I was on tour

A little mysterious
Not a day over 24

She had a smile
That stole my heart
I wish I told her so
When I had the chance

End of the Road

Conscious thoughts, endless efforts
Keep wearing me out, but I won’t stop

I’m keeping faith and precious moments
To guide me through inch by inch closer to you

High or low
Where I go
You’ve always been by my side
Won’t let go
Any more
Won’t take you for a ride

I believe in you

When you’re feeling, low and small
When you’re thinking, you don’t belong
When you’re saying, things don’t matter
When you’re crying, through their laughter

Hurt in Love

What do I need?
What’s good for me?
I can’t keep answering right always

It’s the little things
That keep me hanging
Tearing me apart in these crossways

Why?

Can't believe i suddenly remembered this out of the blue!! Wrote this years ago... err... 10 years? No wait... 13 or 14 years ago !
The melody just suddenly came to my head, lyrics and all.... so i just had to capture it before i lost it again. Not that its anything special, just fond memories :)

Love is a word that can't be denied,
It isn't hard to see
I was the fool who got trapped in it
And now i can't get free
I curse myself for what i've done
Why should it always be me?
Now i'll never look at another boy
So i'll love him constantly

Why didn't i lie?
When i could have.
Why didn't i do?
What i should have.
And now its easy to see
I'm lost in fake love,
And i'll never ever get free...

Choose

My baby's calling me again
I don't know what i've got, to say to her
She's blunt and harsh and caused me pain
But i know that i have done the same to her

She was gone, for the longest time
Now when its my turn, she says "your mine"

So Long My Friend

Four o clock in the morning, I wake up to ringing of my phone
Sobbing on the other side, I feel the tears as if they were my own
“He’s gone” came her voice so soft
“I’m over” she said, “Now, I am lost”

Unspoken Words

Original intention was for this to be a duet, but i guess it could work out both ways.

You say… you’ll always try
You swear… you won’t make me cry
Then you leave me shattered, drowning in your lies

You fight… to have your own ways
You’re right… no matter what I do or say
Think about me sometimes, if you want me to stay

?

The other side of the bed is extraordinary no more
Everyday your memory keeps fading away
There’s a part of me that still holds on to you
While a little more of me keeps slipping away

And I try to wonder 
What you might be thinking
What it must feel like
When you know it’s never gonna be the same

New World

I feel like i'm in a different world
Where aliens are dressed as little boys and girls
And they're taking over mother nature
Only in their world its called a better future

Not too long ago everything was new
People just as many but crimes were few
But maybe i have grown to old to see
Your point of view, so let it be

Her

She wears chunky jewellery
With her hair let down loose
Crazy make up combinations
But she makes them look cool

She’s got rosy breadth
And a touch that heals
She’ll steal any man
With an eye to eye meet

Velvet Shore

Head in the clouds
Feet on the ground
Losing my mind to the sounds

Leaves that can glow
Rain storms and more
Emotions that start to now pour

I’m Scared

I’m scared
How can I defend?
When you’re leaping boundaries and crossing lines

I’m scared
Cos everything has to end
It’s just, a matter, of time

The Way You Make Me Feel

The echo of your voice

To know we are alone

The surest eyes

To pull me towards you

A devious smile

To appreciate I made the right choice

Where You Are

Monsters across the skies
An enemy in a friend’s disguise
Dream and reality re unite

A magic lamp and a rocking chair
For everytime you’re in despair
You will wake up from your nightmare

Nobody To Stop

Slowly she packed her bags
With a smile on her face that nobody saw

Through the evening she was lost in thought
Summoning up courage to do what she wants

Good or bad she wouldn't decide
It really didn't matter what this was all about

Where Did All My Money Go?

Where did all my money go?
Could it have grown legs and walked out my door?
Last night I was rich, but now I'm broke
Dammit where oh where did my money all go?

I was singing' and dancing, walking on the street
Little did i know, i was in for a treat
2 blocks from home and whom should i meet?
My friend Freddy who's always going 'beep beep beep'

Never Enough

(Girl)
On a warm and lonely night
I’m waiting for a call
Yes or no, will solve my plight
But darling don’t take too long
Cos I’ve been waiting all along
Oh I’ve been waiting for so long

(Boy)
Why? Why did you have to lie?
Why did you have to cry?
You make me lose my mind
Why? Why make us drift apart?
Why’d you go and break my heart
I should have known from the start
Ooooh I was never enough

Minutes

A wise man said it aint that hard
To live with all your heart and soul
Just be straight up and true to yourself

If its love u want or a dream you chase
Just open up ur mind and be open to change
You will conquer it all if u try

In a dark and lonely room somewhere
Don't get lost in ur own despair
There's a reason that u are there.

Scar & Release

Underneath a lifeless sky
You hurt, I cry

Memories of a coloured past
Haunt you, I stand by

Whispers forgotten
Boundaries crossed
Life has no meaning
Without you, I’m lost

What I Want Inside Me… Is You

Happy 2012 folks! I started my new year with a new song! Gonna love this year for sure ;)

(Girl)
I don’t want no gucci bags
Nor shoes that touch the sky
I don’t need no studded finger
Nor drugs to make me high

While men have come and gone
No no, nobody could last the night
It’s only you my baby
Oh yes, who woo’d me right
