about

I'm not sure in what universe this possibly could have been a hit, but it was definitely a conscious effort to rip off a band that I may or may not have gone to see this week that certainly had a couple of hits back in the 90's. I thought about getting back to some contemporary pop songwriting, but I think I'll be heading in that direction for the next round, so I decided to hold off.

I was also thinking about a recent Tears for Fears interview, where they were joking about the "potential hit" on their new album, because it followed the formula of pedal bass/shuffle beat from their 80's smash "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." I realized I hadn't written anything like that in a long time, so here goes! I actually think I kinda like this one.

lyrics

Did I leave you in doubt
The jury’s still out
I thought that you’d know

He’s a snake in the grass
I couldn’t give him a pass
The way he’s watching you go

We go back a long way
And I know just what he’d say
I know all his best lines

And I know I can’t have you
But if I can’t see it through
Don’t blame me for trying

You can judge me if you want to
You can look down from above
I will pay that price till the day I die
but when push has come to shove
what you would have done for love

Did I make up a lie
I think I’m still the good guy
Trying to save you the pain

cause you’ll be breaking my heart
If you give him a start
There’s no stopping that train

And if it’s all over town
I spread a rumor around
he’s got this habit of lying

You know I promise it’s true
I’m only thinking of you
I miss the days you were mine

You can judge me if you want to
You can look down from above
I will pay that price till the day I die
but when push has come to shove
what you would have done for love

If you could have been my girl
I’d have made you my world
I don’t know how to share
How I feel, how I care
So tell me how I’m supposed to deal

You can judge me if you want to
You can look down from above
I will pay that price till the day I die
but when push has come to shove
what you would have done for love
