Lyrics

First off, go the Tigers! - noice win boys, not great, but good enough for the first round!

Back to business.

I am, at heart, a musician. I'm pretty sure (no ego here) that I can hold my own on guitar and bass, but when it comes to song writing, I have a major problem with lyrics. Not the melody, though I know the Monkey-boy can find a much better melody than me, but with the actual words. WTF is that? It's not like I don't have a damn good command of the English language, it's just that I agonise over the words that I use in a song. Sometimes it takes the sixth or seventh re-write of the words before I'm prepared to show it to anyone. Is that because I'm over conscious of the sub-text of the words, or is it because I'm afraid to show what I am really feeling. The little voice inside me that shows, I'm not really Mr Cool, but I'm just as fucked up and lost and scared as everyone else? That, as much as I try to be, I'm not really in control of where I'm going, it's just happening and I'm along for the ride? Maybe I just try to be too clever to cover for my own frailties and failures? Maybe I just don't want to sound like a big whiney romantic tosser?

I think it's all about letting go, and acknowledging that somethings can come back and hurt you. But if they are what you feel, you should have no recriminations for that.

Dang, I'm being all philosophical and shit.

Or is this introspective, I can never tell when I 'm drunk.

Time to fall over,
J.
