Cheers luv I'm really into words, and voices, (more so than any guitar twangy bits, altho not to say I *don't* like twangy bits, but it's the voice and words which appeal first), therefore if a lyric looks interesting, it may tempt me to investigate that band further! God I am so *crap* at explaining things ;D

Just like there is night before a dawn Theres always calm before a storm And some wont make it home Lost souls are taken by the sea Better it be them than me.....
from a song called Calm Before The Storm written by me. Yep I do have a penchant for songwriting. Maybe one day I'll get some well known band to put music to them and turn them into real songs and not just words.

And here's the whole of a song that I called Two Hearts On Fire......
Somewhere I hear the whisper in the breeze Calling out to me I could swear it was your voice But I know it could never be Sometimes I think I see your face Or see you in the streets Just a ghost in my memory Thats all it can ever be
How I wish for the day to be with you How I long to be back by your side Two hearts on fire, full of desire But now your gone, I cant hold on All alone in this world once again
I wish I could turn back time To change the world around me I cant take this pain anymore And my tears are there for all to see You were the one who made me whole The wind beneath my wings You took my heart and soul The day you were taken away from me
How I wish for the day to be with you How I long to be back by your side Two hearts on fire, full of desire But now your gone, I cant hold on All alone in this world once again
Each day I live without you is killing me I feel so dead inside If I could only have you near to me I'd be alright, I'd sleep at night
Time heals the pain or so they say May be I'll find somebody new Somewhere I hear that familiar melody I know I wont find you The flame in my heart is gone Another lost soul to save It's just another heartbreak song So I'll sit here by your grave
How I wish for the day to be with you How I long to be back by your side Two hearts on fire, full of desire But now your gone, I cant hold on All alone in this world once again How I wish for the day to be with you How I long to be back by your side Two hearts on fire, full of desire But now your gone, I cant hold on So I'm ending this pain So I can hold you once again
And I have a load more in the locker as well.

I do like a nice meaningful lyric, but I'm equally drawn by the music. I love guitar breaks/solos, a good bass line, but it all has to fit together well....one is no good without the other

You Were There
I guess you've heard, i guess you know in time i've had told you , but i guess i'm too slow. And it's overly romantic but i know that it's real I hope you don't mind if i say what i feel. It's like i'm in somebody else'e dream, this could not be happening to me.
Chorus
But you were there,and you were everything i'd never seen. You woke me up from this long and endless sleep. I was alone. I opened my eyes and you were there.
Don't be alarmed, no don't be concerned i don't want to change things leave them just as they were. I mean, nothings really different it's me who feels strange. I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name Iknow that i'll get over this for sure I'm not the type who dreams there could be more
Chorus
But you were there, and you were everything i'd never seen. You woke me up from this long and endless sleep. I was alone. I opened my eyes and you were there.
Middle 8
Can i take your smile home with me or the magic in your hair ?
The rain has stopped, the storm has passed Look at all the colours now the suns here at last. I suppose that you'll be leaving but i want you to know Part of you stays with me even after you go. Like an actor playing someone else's scene This could not be happening to me. But you were there, and you were everything i'd never seen. You woke me up from this long and empty sleep I was alone. I opened my eyes and no, i'm not alone, i'm not alone. I opened my eyes and you were there.

A classic ballad by a guy who was once a rocker!!
I could hardly believe it When I heard the news today I had to come and get it straight from you They said you were leavin' Someone's swept your heart away From the look upon your face, I see it's true So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin' Then tell me one thing more before I go
[Chorus:] Tell me how am I supposed to live without you Now that I've been lovin' you so long How am I supposed to live without you How am I supposed to carry on When all that I've been livin' for is gone
I didn't come here for cryin' Didn't come here to break down It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end And how can I blame you When I build my world around The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming When even now it's more than I can take
[Chorus]
[Bridge] And I don't wanna face the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming Now that your dream has come true
[Chorus]

Another great ballad by an all time classic band....................
When you called me up this morning, Told me 'bout the new love you found, I'm said "I'm happy for you, I'm really happy for you." Found someone else, I guess I won't be coming 'round. I guess it's over, baby; It's really over, baby, whoa... And from what you said I know you've gotten over me; It'll never be the way it used to be. So if it's gotta be this way, Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay.
[Chorus:] But if you see me walking by, And the tears are in my eyes, Look away, baby, look away. If we meet on the streets someday, And I don't know what to say, Look away, baby, look away. Don't look at me; I don't want you to see me this way.
When we both agreed as lovers, We were better off as friends, That's how it had to be, Yeah, that's how it had to be. I tell you I'm fine But sometimes I just pretend; Wish you were holding me, Wish you were still holding me, whoa... I just never thought, That I would be replaced so soon; I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you. I know I wanted to be free; Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be.
[Chorus 2x]
When you called me up this morning, Told me 'bout the new love you found. I said "I'm happy for you, I'm really happy for you."

extract from Timetable by (early) Genesis
A carved oak table Tells a tale Of times when kings and queens sipped wine from goblets gold And the brave would lead their ladies from out of the room To arbours cool
A time of valour, and legends born A time when honour meant much more to a man than life And the days knew only strife to tell right from wrong Through lance and sword

Cinema Show - Genesis Home from work our Juliet Clears her morning meal She dabs her skin with pretty smells Concealing to appeal I will make my bed She said, but turned to go Can she be late for her cinema show? Romeo locks his basement flat And scurries up the stair With head held high and floral tie A weekend millionaire I will make my bed With her tonight, he cries Can he fail armed with his chocolate surprise? - extract from Cinema Show - by (early) Genesis

I wrote this after I'd had erm - one of those days! ONE OF THOSE DAYSOverslept, I’m going to be late, Adrenaline flowing I’m in a state. Driving in slow traffic, what a pain, Wife next to me says: “You’ll miss your train” Arrive at the station: a‘ kiss and ride’ I get out; she slides over to the driver’s side. Run down the platform, people smirk and stare, Into the first carriage with only seconds to spare. Collapse into a seat out of breath, Sweating, gasping, looking like death. Whistle blows, train goes, what a relief, But then I stare at my hand in disbelief. I'm clutching the car’s ignition keys, The spare set's at home; my wife needs these. Mouth a-gape as through the window I gaze, Fate had decreed it was to be one of those days!
