I got your message yesterday I don’t know what you want from me Thought I explained it perfectly Five years ago In every call and every kiss I tried to feel the way you did I saw you fall and I just didn’t So I let you go I told you goodbye Said have a good life Now I’m the bad guy forever (That’s fine, whatever) You’re mixing memory With twisted fantasy And I bet that sucks Holding on to what never was I guess you’re wondering 'bout me And if I’m single and sorry You’ll hate the answer by the way Just so you know I love your music, you’re the man I wish that we could still be friends You, me and my husband could start a band He’s a baritone You know I don’t lie You’re not a bad guy You’re gonna find someone better (That’s yours forever) Quit mixing memory With desperate dreams of me Cause I bet that’s tough Holding on to what never was Why can’t you move on What did I do wrong You’ve kept that sad candle burning (Mine’s in a landfill) I know I let you down But it hurts to see you now Give it up! Holding onto what never was

Look at me, on the stage Will you come, hear my lie Do my words, make you happy Do my words, make you cry On the dawn, of my day Will you stand, by my side Do my words, make you nervous Do my words, instill pride I'm a liar, I'm a poet And I know that blind will be I'm a puppet, I'm a phony Dig a phony, pull my strings I'm a pied piper, I'm a fraud monger Place the crown on me, the hypocrisy As I sit, in this chair Visions of greed, in my head Put the money, in my pockets Put the power, in my pen I'm a tyrant, I'm a glutton Of the people, with empty hands A deceiver, great deceiver Turning progress into sand

I woke up in a different place today I’m so sorry I could not stay For my body has left me now And I must be on my way I am here looking down upon you I know you will be sad for a while Just Remember the good times we had I hope that makes you smile. I am now in the great beyond

There you go again, singing those love songs. You have a way with words; you make me cry. I keep saying I won't let it happen, But then I fall in love again next time. I shouldn't let you keep on singing those love songs, 'Cause every time you do, I lose my mind. I keep saying I wont let it happen, But then I fall in love again next time. You have found my weakness and you use me. I should know by now, but never learn. You use sights and sounds to confuse me. When I hear you sing my poor heart burns. Every time you play your sweet melodies, I pretend I'm not listening. But you know, and you know just what it does to me, still you do it time and time again. There you go again, singing those love songs. I think you understand, and you know why. I keep saying I won't let it happen, But then I fall in love again next time. But then I fall in love again next time. But then I fall in love again next time.

This one goes out to the one I dumped You knew who I was when we went on a date Did you think you could change me? You weren’t that great Sure I liked the attention, the cookies you baked But not enough to not want someone else’s milkshake That song you wrote about how evil I was Got your friends all mad Got some instagram buzz That pic you posted to start a boycott Read the comments honey, girls think I’m hot I am who I am and you said you were ready When I told you straight up I wouldn’t go steady You said that was fine, last time I checked Then decided to turn me into some pet project That song you wrote about how evil I was Got your friends all mad Got some instagram buzz That pic you posted to start a boycott Read the comments honey, your mom thinks I’m hot You thought our love was up in the clouds I slept with your sister, for crying out loud Next time be careful, or you will lose You’re last bit of respect over who you choose That song you wrote about how evil I was Got your friends all mad Got some instagram buzz Your bestie dropped by to tell me off Within two minutes her clothes were off So write your songs and tell the world That I’m a cheater, well honey that don’t hurt You out here flaunting your low self-esteem I’d like to feel sorry, but you chose me
6.
I'm thinking this could be it This could be real This is how love should feel But then there’s some little snag It’s nobody's fault But there’s something that can’t be resolved Maybe it was something that I heard or felt Or God forbid, but maybe it was something that I smelt I wish that I could tell you, but the truth will only hurt you So I guess you’ll never know. I gotta go. I got the ick. The ick, well, maybe it’s the way you laugh, maybe it’s the way you yawn Maybe on your next first date, keep your shoes on. You should know you gotta make a good impression Especially when we’re all out here living with infection The ick, the itis is living here inside us. Sneaking up on us like appendicitis Now let me demonstrate the power and violence As I become a flight risk I got the ick Maybe it was something that I heard or felt Or God forbid, but maybe it was something that I smelt I wish that I could tell you, but the truth will only hurt you So I guess you’ll never know. I gotta go. I got the ick.

Labels on a photograph Is all that’s left of me Lost myself on chalky cliffs They spread me out to sea Spinning tales and windy gales I pray on bended knee The crashing of the waves A little song to sweet Marie I’m gone, I’m gone Lord help me, I’m gone Burning grass and mustard gas The flowing river Somme Riding down to Maricourt The sound of German bombs Meeting fierce resistance We sang a weary psalm Missing dear old Blighty In France we died alone I’m gone, I’m gone Lord help me, I’m gone Saints would you preserve us The brass are getting nervous again The tanks, a bloody circus Thank you for your service, amen Poorest to the furnace Served your bloody purpose, we win General’s pinning medals On polite society Blood and guts and darker stuff Don’t stain their livery My sister scattered mem’ries on The cliffs of Normandy There I flew, to murky blue A poor and dead nobody I’m gone, I’m gone Lord help me, I’m gone Saints would you preserve us The brass are getting nervous again The tanks, a bloody circus Thank you for your service, amen Poorest to the furnace Served your bloody purpose, we win

Aren't you the busy bee? Copped a buzz and layed a lame appeal on me You'd asked for my hand, then, you chose a stand-in Sorry doesn't make it alright Kiss Right Off How'd it come to be- the nerve of you? There's no standing 'O,' when you've bolted in Act II You'd asked for my hand, then, you changed the plan when marriage left you standing on ice Kiss Right Off - Tonight Go on- press your lips to the breast of human kindness, see just how much milk you can find Don't crawl to me crying when you come up dry and "Baby, baby, babe- one more time" Tonight (Kiss Right Off, Tonight) Tonight (Kiss Right Off, Tonight) Tonight (Kiss Right Off, Tonight)...

Is it still dark out? Could you hold it down? Can’t keep up with all your New friends downtown The deal’s too good They’re selling cheap But I’m just praying for Another hour of sleep You’re a stolen trick A house on fire And I promise baby
I’m the tenor in your choir But the bill’s come due they’ve sent out the punks And your landing party’s full of Nothing but drunks if I could spin a gilded cloth Of gold and stars and vision I’d share with you the heavens That I planned But I am made of simpler stuff I’m weak and I am weary No time for Building mountains out of sand Do you feel your pulse race? Do you have no doubt? It’s the panic you feel When all your time’s running out I’ll make some coffee You can make some calls Maybe there’s money in the Space behind these walls Did you call me simple? Did you think me small? I dream of your visions But I can’t pay for it all So I’ll send you my rent share Soon as I’m paid Hope you find peace before your Colors all fade if I could spin a gilded cloth Of gold and stars and vision I’d share with you the heavens That I planned But I am made of simpler stuff I’m weak and I am weary No time for Building mountains out of sand

about

Looks like it’s up to me to make the first assignment, so here ya go:

We’re all inundated with politics this week. Let’s approach it from another angle. I want you to visual a message that you might base a song around. Any kind of message, fictional or non-fictional - a love song, a protest song, an observation of some sort. Don’t write that song. Write the song that you imagine the object of that message replying with. What does the object of the narrator’s love say? How does the guy on the other side of the aisle respond to the protest?
