I'm writing songs for the February Album Writing Month (FAWM).
Below are the lyrics to some of those new songs...
Another Zombie Apocalypse (Copyright 2012)
verse 1:
Tell me again how it is
that you invented this thing
That magnifies your voice via satellite
So you can sing to the world in their dreams?
There in their beds while sleeping
They gently start humming your song
And it isn’t long before they find out
The next place where you’re gonna play.
Refrain:
Thick walls are crumbling like powder
Thick walls they are gone!
Thick walls that stand between you and your fame
Thick walls they are gone.
Verse 2:
The first show stood a hundred
With a slightly dazed look in their eye
They all bought CDs and T-shirts
And thought you were a great guy.
The fifth show there were 10,000
Outside the Milkboy café.
Soon Itunes had to buy new servers
With your 1 million downloads a day.
Refrain-
Verse 3:
You knew there was something wrong
When you heard them chanting for your brains.
You quickly went undercover
And hopped the next boat to Spain.
She is Wisdom ( Copyright 2012)
In a world of pretentious thought
There’s a parody of the finest art
It’s a little mad and a little odd
And I need some help outside this box.
She is rain on a steamy summer day.
She is wisdom.
With her little voice and funny ways
She opens doors I thought were walls.
I hold my head a little high
When she is standing by my side.
She is rain on a steamy summer day.
She is wisdom.
If I promise not to use your name
Will you let me write this song for you?
It’s a funny little melody
The sort of thing that you would sing.
She is rain on a steamy summer day
She is wisdom.

Caught in a Dream (Copyright 2012)
We walk a line of the thinnest thread
(Breaking apart breaking apart our head)
A fragile flimsy faded web
(Breaking apart breaking apart our head )
A little spider drunk on thought
(Breaking apart breaking apart our head)
With stories of a flimsy world
(Breaking apart breaking apart our head)
Take me now to a world you believe
I am caught. I am caught in a dream.
There is a candle on the desk
(Breaking apart breaking apart our head)
That she leaves burning when she sleeps
(Breaking apart breaking apart our head )
She takes it with her to her dreams
(Breaking apart breaking apart our head)
To find her way back to the room.
(Breaking apart breaking apart our head)

Let's steal each other's songs (copyright 2012)
Tonight in this club let’s steal each other’s songs
Let’s steal each other’s songs and try to sing along
We’ll drink each other’s drink and thought each other’s think
Make everyone jealous who isn’t in this club.
I am aware that the ocean is old. It brings me a wind firm and bold
And sometimes it makes me cold.
Tonight in this club let’s hear each other’s words.
Let’s hear each other’s words however much absurd.
We’ll talk each other’s lines and try each other’s wines
Make everyone jealous who isn’t in this club.
I am aware that the vampires in here want me to buy them a drink
And I don’t want to look at their fangs.
Tonight in this club I’ll sing a silly song. I’ll sing a silly song and you’ll try to endure.
You’ll sit at the bar unless its really bad. Then you’ll wait in your car till I am offstage.
I am aware that the universe is old every time I look in the sky.
It reminds me of your pretty eyes.

In your head again (copyright 2012)
You pulse on in an endless dream
In a temple of Disney frames
And everyone in this bar has their list
For who they want to meet tonight.
Refrain:
Your little purse is closed when the stakes are high.
The only place that you can live is in your head again.
The twine of conversation twists
And makes you start to smile a bit.
But you put up walls like a little fort
And there is no room for his sort.
Refrain:
Your little purse is closed when the stakes are high.
The only place that you can live is in your head again.
Other Bridge:
Take on his silhouette (x4)
Refrain:
Take on his silhouette.
You pulse on in an endless dream
In a temple of Disney frames
And everyone in this bar has their list
For who they want to meet tonight.
Refrain:
Your little purse is closed when the stakes are high.
The only place that you can live is in your head again.
The twine of conversation twists
And makes you start to smile a bit.
But you put up walls like a little fort
And there is no room for his sort.
Refrain:

The only place that you can live is in your head again.

Refrain:
