A load of my songs

[murta]

I'll try sort these into type, the first one's a rant about emo-kids all dressing the same (this is a work in progress, very quick song I scrawled down earlier today), 3 (i think) after that are kinda jokey, and the rest are kinda emotional, personal songs. You might find some of those ones a bit arty/pretentious, I dunno:

It's Time To Fake A Change

Turn 360 and count the sweat bands
Mesh caps, studded belts and Chucks total in hundreds
Emoids to the left of me, carbon copies to the right
The gig room's filled with walking stereotypes tonight

So do as i do and stop conforming
Dressing keeps you warm, it's not performing
Accesories are just gravy to pants, jeans and tees
They ain't gonna help you pull or make you buddies

Listen to what you want
Wear what you wanna wear
But don't pretend you aren't doing it
For any other reason than to fit in
The scenes never seen so many 'individuals'
It's time to wake up and smell the frappucino

So do as i do and stop conforming
Dressing keeps you warm, it's not performing
Accesories are just gravy to pants, jeans and tees
They ain't gonna help you pull or make you buddies

Why should I get stared at for buying at Primark?
At least my trousers cost less than an EP
Forgive me if I'm wrong for not spending all my money
On looking like Brand New, my haircut cost £5.50
It's not black, doesn't cover my eyes, but i'm still Worth It
My jeans have holes, my tees have no labels and I couldn't give a ****

So do as i do and stop conforming
Dressing keeps you warm, it's not performing
Accesories are just gravy to pants, jeans and tees
They ain't gonna help you pull or make you buddies

Losing My Religion

I don't believe in Jeebus no more
That christianity bollocks, became a bore
Reading the bible, was always a chore
Tried to rent the video, couldn't find it at the store

So on my very last day of communal service
Wanted to leave my mark, decided to take a piss
In the Holy Water. No-one around, wasn't nervous
Whipped out my soldier, girated my pelvis

Watched later that day, felt no dread
As I watched the yellow trickle led
By gravity down my gran's forehead
Burst out laughing, stood, then fled
Wet patch in my jeans was starting to spread

Is God's so good to us, why make France?
Or crappy music like pop, rap and dance
And me, no job, friends or romance
My last day of church I pissed my pants

My First Love Song

Don't leave me now
There's so much more to say
Need to find out how
You make me feel this way
Your curse over me
I'm under your control
Need to escape quickly
Gotta find a loophole

You pull me in closer all the time
Gotta figure it out sometime
How you do it, such a crime
Need me a another word to rhyme

This started as a soppy,
Song i wrote for you
But that bull****
It's just so poo
So i figured what I'd do
Is write a dirty poem
Give it a ****ty tune

You pull me in with every shake of your ass
You ooze style, beauty, easy, class
You look good naked, it's hard to bypass
I ****ed the chorus again, such a Jackass

You jump on top, jiggle about
30 seconds, then I moan and shout
Shoot my load, then smear it in
Around your titties, into your chin
You look satisfied, you can't be faking
So I turn over, my balls are aching
You go to the bathroom, I hear vibrating
You're moaning softly, masturbating

I promise baby, next time I'll finish you
I said it before, but this time it's true
I'll do anything you feel you wanna do
Anal? Fine babe, just wipe after you poo

She Let The Bastard Grind Her Down

She smiles at me as I walk by
Now I know, this time's she's mine
I've locked her in to my tight grasp
Finally, it's about ****in time

It took me years now of trying
Sending flowers, constant chancin'
I even sent her threatenin letters
The only way I know of romancin'

I ground her down, like a pummel stone
Now i'm gonna get mine, we're gonna bone
I ground her down, like a pummel stone
Now i'm gonna get mine, gonna take her home

She turned me down time after time
She always said it wouldn't work
But still I turned up at her house
And now she's in love with this berk

I ain't got no job to pay for her
To take her to fancy places to eat
I'm going nowehere, got no dreams
Except to get her on my meat

I ground her down, like a pummel stone
Now i'm gonna get mine, we're gonna bone
I ground her down, like a pummel stone
Now i'm gonna get mine, gonna take her home

Summer's Left, Autumn Leaves

I took the left ear piece,
And gave you the right.
My heart laid out to you,
On that mixtape for the night.

The songs filled our ears,
Your profile filled my eyes.
We kissed, entwined, eternally,
Pausing only as you sighed.

Next track after crescendo,
I remember how much you'd liked it.
Shooting star passed, with a wish I didn't need,
What more could I want? You, the songs, this blanket.

We shivered in harmony,
Neither from the cold,
But the feeling so flawless,
Predicted memories, that would never grow old.

Sharing these songs,
The soundtrack to our lives.
Soaking them in, drowning in bliss,
This is perfection: you, me and this night.

The Seasons, Acts 2 and 3

"we can stay 2 minutes longer out here"
and those minutes turned to hours
stood atop the overgrown dale
two entwined silhouettes against the starless night
your sweater radiating like wicker aflame
and our every frosty exhalation sent out through scarlet fists

don't ever slip your clement hand from mine. it's keeping me alive...

up there we felt within striking distance
from the angels themselves
but you never were a believer
and neither was i
the only heavenly body on my mind
was sat on the dewey grass, knitted sleeves over dainty hands

don't ever slip your clement hand from mine. it's keeping me alive...

that silence beyond compare
broken only by our breathing (growing just a little too loud)
and the thunderous silence from the kiln
forgeing a thousand memoirs out of that steely cold night
your sweet embrace, year-round taste,
the scent of your neck, the frictionless touch of your silky skin

don't ever slip your clement hand from mine (it's keeping me alive!)
don't ever slip your clement hand from mine (it's keeping me alive!)
don't ever slip your clement hand from mine (it's keeping me alive!)
don't ever slip your clement hand from mine (it's keeping me alive!)
don't ever slip your clement hand from mine (it's keeping me alive!)

don't ever slip your gracious hand from mine,
i need your warmth to keep me here and to be here is to live...

Pour Vous, For You

You took that gaping hole in my stomach
And crammed it with a billion butterflies
They flap every time you enter the room
And don't stop until the last lingering of your scent leaves me
Every time your name is uttered it hits my ear drums
Like a hypothermic with a double-bass pedal
Every time i see your flawless face
I can see my reflection in your eyes
...and it seems so right

Just being with you makes every love song ever written
Make perfect sense to me
Now i understand why roses are red, why unkissed lips are blue
That i'm perfect for you

It took less than a week with you
To fill my head with a lifetime of memories
Every time I speak with you
I know that you're the only "half of two" for me
Being away from you is like a poorly translated French mini-zoo:
Un Bear, A Bull
If I could close the distance between us and destroy
Everyone and everything from my home to yours
I'd do it, 'cos you'd take away the guilt and make it all worthwile

Just being with you makes every poem ever written
Become absolute clarity to me
Now i understand why kittens purr, why the caged bird sings
That you to me are everything

[Spoken]
Every second around you feels so natural
I know it sounds cheesy, but I feel like I've known you all my life
I don't have to try to impress, hold anything back
Or ever pretend that I'm listening, cos, believe me, I always will be
[/Spoken]

There's No Me In Team (...Oh Wait)

i knew you had problems held on to me like glue
and your tears streamed down your face, as i cradled you
i couldn't find the words to say how i felt, so i cried too
every day since you met him, you've needed him but i came through

every time i'm with you, it's like one of those dreams
where you speak, but nothing comes out
except this is a dream i don't wanna wake from
because every second looking at your face to me is bliss

and the salty drops soaked right to my collar bone
took your problems from you, claimed them as my own
at 2am the crying stopped, then I took you home
and kissed your forehead gently, left a message on your phone

every time i'm with you, it's like one of those dreams
where you speak, but nothing comes out
except this is a dream i don't wanna wake from
because every time your eyes meet mine my soul skips a beat

it told of how i was leaving, how it was for the best
and i'd seek the source, of all your troubles on my quest
fuelled by love, i'd lift that burden from off your chest
one day i'd return and we'd talk girl, talk about yest-

every time i'm with you, it's like one of those dreams
where you speak, but nothing comes out
except this is a dream i don't wanna wake from
because every time you turn up on my doorstep, my heart cries out

er-day. And we'll laugh at how dumb we once were
remind each other of forgotten days, passed just like a blur
and maybe i'll kiss your forehead again, but this time you'll have grown
and our lips will meet, you'll taste so sweet and forever be my own

Time Heals All (But Me)

they say it gets easier with time
well i've been waiting an eternity
and i've held my breath every second
you're the air my blue lips need

good things should come to me,
because i'm those who waited
stood around,
contemplated
checked my watch
4 years gone by
you never said
ever said why

this waiting game i play alone
but i've got the top 3 scores
single player, no save games
just red knuckles, they forever bleed

good things should come to me,
because i'm those who waited
stood around,
contemplated
sands of time drop
slip through the glass
but they count the years
not hours passed

my picture of you is blurred now
i just remember you smile
and the scent of your coconut hair
the hazel green of your eyes

good things should come to me,
because i'm those who waited
stood around,
contemplated
i've sat through sixteen seasons
summer's the worst
cos that's when i first met you
that's when i met you first

i can't remember why i'm here
still waiting to hold your hand
stroke your ego just right
caress your chestnut brown hair

well they say good things,
come to those who wait
and i've never moved
from this solitary state
i've lost my speech now
so i'm scrawling these words
maybe you'll find these diaries
soaked with blood and tears
maybe they'll make you think
and so might my stinking corpse

you right the wrongs
as i write the songs
goodbye, farewell, so long...

Emo Sucks

I sit alone here in my room crying these silent tears
'Why hasn't the phone rang?' I've waited for you all day
I call you, get the machine, same after all these years
I leave my heart after the tone, so much left to say
You never cared at all, just lied, now that's plain to see
But if those words of love and care that you say are true for me:

Why don't I hear from you? Why are you always busy?
Why do you always have to leave? Why do you forget?
Why is it always my fault? Why can't you see?
Why aren't you writing this broken song for me?

You ignored me again last night, too busy with friends
I sat empty, feet from you and held my tongue
Don't try to cheer me up, never make ammends
Even when we do speak, it's never for that long
If I'm your best friend, I'd hate to be your enemy
So many words for others, but not enough for me

Why do you never call? Why are you never here?
Why don't you try to stay? Why don't you care?
Why do I feel guilty? Why can't it be?
Why aren't you writing this all down for me?

These butterflies in my stomach eat from the inside out
What the **** am I doing here? Trying to comprehend
Why I care for you so much. Tired of trying, so worn-out
Of this uphill climb, endless journey, just to be your friend
I can't sit silent no more. This cat has got to part
With my tongue. Gotta tell you you're tearing me apart

Why am I still calling? Why am I still here?
Why can't I leave? Why do I still care?
Why aren't you guilty? Why can't it be?
Why aren't you writing this ****ing song for me?

Fall In A Part (At The Seems)

seems you've finally found the one
that makes you feel like an angel
that gives you everything you deserve
seems he's perfect

seems he's so right for you
that he wants you just as you should want him
that he'll never leave your side
seems he appreciates you

seems to me he needs you
that you'd be perfect together
that every second would be bliss
seems he's waiting for your embrace

seems he's writing this song for you
seems you'll never notice me
seems like this is wishful thinking
seems i'll never get to hold you close

that this was all in vain
that we'll never be more than friends
that that's the way you want it
that i'll never taste your cherry kisses

Limited Public Company

I think you're compassion needs some service
What did I ever do to deserve this?
Spoon-fed you compliments every day
"I love you, best friend", you'd always say
But how come in public, it's a different story
Don't talk to me, just them, for selfish glory
Your other friends may take it, I ain't gonna
Couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't ****ing wanna

Hey girl, are you listening?
Taking notice, or just pretending?
That you give a ****, to string me on
Clear your conscience, prolong the con

My friendship ain't on tap, can't turn it on & off
I ain't a doormat, someone you can just write-off
I'm not asking for you all the ****ing time
I just wanna feel needed, no more uphill climb
To get your attention, when we're out with others
One's who don't care, it's them that get smothered
With your hugs, kisses, stories, endless joking
Somethings gotta change soon, this pain is choking

Hey girl, are you listening?
Taking notice, or just pretending?
That you give a ****, to string me on
Clear your conscience, prolong the con

These butterflies in my stomach eat me from the inside out
What the **** am I doing here? Trying to figure out
Why I care for you so much? I'm tired of trying, so worn-out
Maybe I want more but I can't find the words, so I shout
You gave my life new meaning and tore out my heart
In the space of a year and right from the start
I can't sit silent no more. This cat has to part
With my tongue, gotta tell you you're tearing me apart

Hey girl, are you listening?
Taking notice, or just pretending?
That you give a ****, to string me on
Clear your conscience, prolong the con

Ok, fine, it's fair enough that you don't wanna be
More than friends, but when the **** will you see
How much I do for you and how you re-pay me
I never wanted anything, but you to see you happy
I think that maybe I could that do that for you
Prove us both right and make our words true
But now you've ground me down again and again into
A shell of what I used to be. So now I'm leaving you

Do you care?
Will you cry?
Will you stop me?
Or get angry?
Beg me to stay?
Is that what I want?
Or how it should be?

As far as I'm concerned, Derby doesn't have a football team

Ah ****, REALLY?
Damn, which obscure band released a track called that? I'll have to change the title, since it's illegal for more than one song in the world to have the same name

[NiKo]

wow murtman.
damn good work if i may say so myself. I havent read it all yet, i'll leave some for later.

(edit)
read them all.
if i may criticize a bit, i think some of the songs will never work out melodicly...or arent they suposed to?

[Branik]

REM - Losing My Religion.
Great song.

Believe me, any words can be put to a melody, just listen to some artists like Damien Rice or Bright Eyes. I know what you mean though, alot of them don't flow and lines fluctuate in length, but for the style of music they're intended for they wouldn't be too hard to fit a tune

[Darth Groovy]

Pretty good stuff murta man. I got some songs I could post here, if you wanna read em.

[murta]

bring em on man
i just remembered the point i was trying to make:
I prefer to just say what I feel, rather than be constricted to trying to rhyme or fit to a set pattern/melody.

[Darth Groovy]

Sometimes you have to save the ryhme for the sake of the rhyme. Too much rhyming can be repetitive and ruin a good song. Sometimes I have something to say, but most of the time I just like to play with the words until they amuse me. I have not written much lately, as school and work is damn near killing me, but this is probably the most recent song I wrote that was put to music.

Expensive


{verse 1}
Passed by the lots the lost impared,
broken by the bones were sold and shared,
lost in a vision was the mission,
could'nt explain why the planes were missing
not the fault of the flawed invention
not the worst of my best intentions
inside I hear a voice ringin'
was the fat lady singin'?

{chorus}
Feeling so indecisive,
one more push and I might give,
one last breath and I might live...
...and shine through tomorrow,
one last act for the last show,
take a bow for the sorrow,
one more push and I might go,
too expensive to swallow!

{verse 2}

One last twist to turn away,
one last word that saved the day,
magic numbers numeric pictures,
broken bottles and boring lectures,
puncture wounds and mobile homes,
sunlight shadows casting stones,
something left from the night before,
something left from the life before,

{chorus x 2}

Feeling so indecisive,
one more push and I might
one more breath and I might live...
...and shine through tomorrow!
One last act for the last show,
take a bow for the sorrow,
one more push and I might go,
too expensive to swallow!

(verse 3)

Wilderness wanders weeping willows
through the woods and under pillows
pulling down into the mud
passing through a passing flood
standing alone on top of the flame
salvation gets you once again
where ever the wind may blow
the others will follow

{chorus x 2}

Feeling so indecisive,
one more push and I might
one more breath and I might live...
...and shine through tomorrow!
One last act for the last show,
take a bow for the sorrow,
one more push and I might go,
too expensive to swallow!




Darth Groovy, 2000

[Ernil]

I'm hearing more and more about Bright Eyes every day. They started here, in my city of Omaha Nebraska, and I never imagined them spreading out of this city. Perhaps they got bigger than we realise?

[murta]

Conor is an icon within the punk/emo scene. He sells out tours here in the UK, plays major festivals and is idolised by kids everywhere

Lyrics By Darth Groovy(AKA Taro)

Skin feels so wet,
gave up trying to regret,
eyes are filling up again,
visions are thicker in pairs of ten,
or maybe eleven...

our faces are cut to even imperfection,
do you remember how you came this far?
do you remember who's driving this car?
at the stoplight.....

you never think of who you are!


They keep on laughing all the time,
the tape is always stuck in rewind
instead of trying to change the time
try putting your head back in your mind!

Walked down to the lakeshore today
tripping over boddies we once knew,
some faces for familiar but only few
theres always a party when there is nothing to do- I'll just wait and get invited too! Well it's still a few and maybe some, well I'll be a son of gun!

Guess you know you can't be right, you can never always be alright....

at the stoplight
at the stoplight
forgot what it was, but then it all hit at once...

at the stoplight, you never think of where you are.

It was a feeling that you never had, don't cry for me, you will surely be glad.
Father was a guy who probably was my dad, don't cry over that I never said I was sad,
Yes I know that I can never be right!
If we try real hard we can blow up the night1

at the stoplight
at the stoplight
at the stoplight
we never got very far,

at the stoplight
get out of the car,
you never know just what you are!
