This one has 2 different bridges, hope it's qualified! ----------------------------- Days Go By by Shu Nakamura 2020 (Verse1) Pleasure to meet you virtually, tonight We will be linked electrically, tonight The artificial voice keeps calling me, all day It is not gonna set me free, all day (Chorus) Days go by, while I’m sleeping in my bed Days go by, while I turn around my head (Verse2) I thought that I was living in my life, and it’s alright I feel like I’m making a circle of strife, now wonder why (Bridge1) Why, why, why, I wonder why... (Bridge2) Can’t you see, can’t you see, it’s only about the time Can’t you see, can’t you see, it’s gonna be fine - hmm - and it’s alright (Verse2) I thought that I was living in my life, and it’s alright I feel like I’m making a circle of strife now wonder why (Chorus) Days go by, while I’m sleeping in my bed Days go by, while I turn around my head

i’m so tired of bearing all this tension i’m so tired of wondering what to do I’m so tired of things I’d rather not mention i’m afraid i’m gonna blow a fuse all the leaves are turning brown again and you put on a starry crown again oh world of wonder I’m feeling better now i’m clean and sober now i can see that there’s so much to do i cleaned my windows just in time for october so come on over and enjoy the view i want to see your red and gold again before the world turns cold again in cruel december hidden in the rhyme was a melody in the melody was a set of nesting dolls inside of each one was a beating heart beating to the rhythm the rhythm of it all if my performance was a little too eager then your deflection was a little too raw you were a pro but i was still a bush leaguer sucking at life through a plastic straw all the leaves are turning brown again and you put on that starry crown again oh world of wonder once you gave me all your favorite secrets you told me everything about your past you had it printed on an 8 x 6 leaflet i took a number and i bought a pass i want to see your red and gold again before the world gets cold again in cruel december oh sister equinox let me see your golden locks lying like the sunlight on your shoulders sweet rue anemone slender fingers on your knees show me how to shed these chains s that hold us

Suzie staring at the sun Who knows what she’s running from? Scared to death, scared to fight Hug your devils, hold on tight Alright It’ll be alright, it’ll be alright Shine on Suzie Some days it’s ok to see the light Suzie getting up her nerve Swerving lanes girl watch that curve Scared but take those baby steps Push until some change is felt Save me Suzie No use waiting on them Save me Suzie The angels calling

If you make a stupid rule You’d better run when it’s your turn You’d better have the sense it’s time to wait ain’t no greater satisfaction watch a hypocrite go down and I’ll do my part to pull my brothers’ weight It’s not a damn thing but a game to you I guess I should’ve known You’ve burned down everything we sought to save You couldn’t wait to grab yourself another jeweled crown She ain’t even cold yet in her grave If there’s hope left in this town You’d better sit your ass back down I still believe that there are those who fight for law and love I still believe that arrows can be true But I swear there’s something missing in The middle of your heart Someone drained the last warm blood from you Cause all I see rage at any shadows in your path And I wonder what first made you clench that fist What could have burned your heart to ash And left a withered root And all the opportunities you missed If there’s hope left in this town You’d better sit your ass back down No language No honor No compass guides No union Just you and the other side If there’s hope left in this town You’d better sit your ass back down

Democracy dies and the demon folk rise When a “chosen” few dare wear the crown He’ll leave you for dead and then shit in your bed Think he’s the best well I hope that you’re proud Lil’ Donnie the T, that’s his name, woe is he E’en the brown shirts know he is mad But he pleases their whims, sad mewling quims That they are, but they’re really just sad Lil’ Donnie the T, with his toadstool peepee and Sniffing his way through his speed He’ll give us the axe and not pay his tax But Eugene’s old man’s up to the deed No, I’m not proud of the hate that does crowd My mind when I think of Mophead the T I think he’d be better bound up in a sweater In cushy rooms, gilded and keyed. Lil’ Donnie the T, lost his mind, so did we While the cultists just fell into line When all this over and he’s feeding the clovers We’ll not see the last of his kind The shittiest part of this shocking upstart Is what he’s done to families and friends Ain’t been no fun drinking barrels’ and guns Being pointed while nobody wins And Lil’ Donnie shits his Depends

v Tied up in knots I couldn't see somehow got out of the woods and was freed Looking back I don't know how I lived that way and the feelings are here again I've got a decision to make c I'm not going down that road again I'll make a new way I'm not going down that road again There's nothing more to say It'd be so easy to live that same life tempted by the same mistake and sin but I'll find a new path down which I'll go Not going down that road again v2 Can I learn from my regret Or will the hands of time make me forget Can I be better than what I've been Or will I never shed my old skin b Do I live what I've known Or do I make a new road Can I live a new way Do I live what I've known Or do I make a new road I've made my decision c2 I'm not going down that road again I'll make a new way I'm not going down that road again There's nothing more to say It'd be so easy to live that same life tempted by the same mistake and sin but I'll find a new path down which I'll go Not going down that road again b2 I thought I was flyin Turns out I was fallin I'm not going down that road again I'm not going down that road again

Diamond Night Diamond night and the moon is like a circle in the sky Gonna travel from the country road to the city lights ..I say Baby could I ever be Baby could I ever be free Baby I could I ever believe Your never gonna break my heart Waiting for a rendezvous in the kingdom of the kings Somewhere in middle of the chapter and the verse the book it says to me Baby could I ever be Baby could I ever be free Baby I could I ever believe Your never gonna break my heart Well I see that times are different from the times we once survived but it’s been so long ago I can’t deny And the remedies we take that get us through these days and nights Are like staring at the cats eyes in the light When I look for answers to the questions that I seek there are words that are written in the presence of the Queen Baby could I ever be Baby could I ever be free Baby I could I ever believe

You were not alone When you sunk like a stone The day the Tennessee Took my brother from me Your heart was heavy as the Ladder tied to your feet You were calm As a Psalm On that deadly river bridge You were done Hangin on Tired of fighting the itch Emotion is a portal An affliction aeortal You were in too deep Desperate for some sleep The day the river cleansed Your heart of aches to mend Your head grew weary as the Walls started closing in You were calm As a Psalm On that deadly river bridge You were done Hangin on Tired fighting the itch Emotion is immortal Like the heartbeat of a turtle You were calm As a Psalm On that deadly river bridge You were done Hangin on Tired of fighting the itch.

"On the Line" Verse 1: You and I fall victim every time You and I won’t stop just to unwind leave the lights on and burn the candles at both ends You and I won’t stop until we’re done Numbing to the years passing one by one all a blur like it’s hardly even happening at all Bridge 1: If I was a bird I might spread wings and fly If I was a bird I might spread wings and fly Chorus 1: Some of the best rides are those spinning round Like a cool autumn night at the county fair The taste of growth and love on the line Bridge 2: Fortunately, living so free We cause harmony Let it be So Verse 2: You and I, like hands running circles, round Timers and, the shackles we fitted for Can’t we break the chains that bind us right? Chorus 2: Some of the best rides are those spinning round Like bottled up bliss or picked from the ground The taste of growth and love on the line

about

It’s my turn for the assignment:

So, I’ve been on a bit of a Neil Finn kick lately, and one trick he uses occasionally that is somewhat common for contemporary pop but fairly rare in “classic” songwriting is the use of more than one bridge. Now, this can be a point of contention from song to song: “was that little bit just an extra theme? A variation on another part? A pre-chorus? A post-chorus hook? A middle-8?” But let’s not split hairs. I want you to write a song that has not just one bridge but also a second part that is also a non-repeated, non-instrumental section of music.
Two examples are Neil’s “She Will Have Her Way” and the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations.” Oh, and the Kink’s “Lola.”
