| Lounge Fly Bleeding on the Floor Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 1061 | Okay, one more for now. Little Man It was your first day of primary school You were the smartest in the room And the best athlete too All the other kids looked up to you Cause if it came from you It must be totally cool What happened to you, little man What happened to you? It was your first day of intermediate Refused to tuck in your shirt Cause you felt like a girl All us shirt tuckers saw you for your worth You told us we wouldn't be hurt And we accepted your word What happened to you, little man, What happened to you? What happened to you, little man, What happened to you? I remember our time in the high school yard You were the first with your own car And the first inside a bar You were the cause of many of my scars But I thought you'd be a star So I pushed them down far Yeah, I pushed them down far Until that day I saw you in the supermarket One year ago I would have bet I'd see you next in a private jet But I saw you in the aisle stacking bread And I can't help but wonder Yeah, I can't help but wonder What happened to you, little man? Where did you go, little man? Why did you fuck up, little man? I want to know, yeah I want to know You were the smartest and fastest You got all the girls If the world was an oyster You would have been the pearl But where did it all go? What happened to your life? Why are you stuck here with a couple of kids Dreaming of the bright lights? What happened to you, little man? Where did you go, little man? Why did you fuck up, little man? I want to know, yeah I want to know What happened to you, little man? Where did you go, little man? Why did you fuck up, little man? I want to know, yeah I want to know |

Or just makes it sound like a nursery rhyme. Subtle rhyming, or rhyming every second or third line sounds better than every line. There's a really good atricle about that here. It begins to talk about rhyming about 4 posts down. If you have the time, I'd advise reading the whole thing. It'll take hours but it's worth it. I used to do the same things with the rhyming and my songs are a lot better now that I don't. Apart from that, I think they're quite good, and you have some brilliant ideas. =] |
| believing. Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 30 Gender: Male Posts: 2318 | I agree with the above comment. But, I like Hero. It's interesting. Dreams are worth nothing Hopes don't mean zero You'll never be a hero You'll never be a hero Yeah. =] |
| Lounge Fly Bleeding on the Floor Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 1061 | Just Steph...: You know, I've been linked to that article before. I've tried writing stuff that doesn't rhyme or at least isn't all couplets. I just find it really hard, and I'm lazy when it comes to these things. I just write what flows, although even I agree I probably overdid it on Little Man. That's probably gonna get a re-write. |
| Lounge Fly Bleeding on the Floor Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 1061 | Stop Listening The one you love said she's not coming over You sit and brood and wish your life was over Hate your life Grab a knife You push inside and make the incision No thought for consequence or decision You just hate Don't think straight Everything you see is right Everything you know is wrong Everything you hear is great Everything you do is fate Stop listening to the voices inside your head Stop listening to the voices that want you dead Stop listening to the voices that mock you Stop listening to the voices that say you lose Draw the curtains and love the light Take out your eyes and observe the sight Feeling good As you should They said so on the Mitsubishi ad Don't give up you've got reasons to live, lad They were true Thank you Everything you thought was yes Everything they say is no Everything they said was a guess Everything you got was duress Stop listening to the voices inside your head Stop listening to the voices that want you dead Stop listening to the voices that mock you Stop listening to the voices that say you lose There is something you don't want to forget Got to pick up what you didn't get Didn't lock Get a shock Up in your room is the girl of your dreams Puts her hand up, pulls the trigger and leaves There you lie You will die Everything you saw was right Everything you knew was wrong Everything you heard was false Everything you did was a waste Everything you did was untruth Everything they said was correct Everything you got was abject You listened to the voices inside your head You listened to the voices that wanted you dead You listened to the voices inside your head You listened to the voices that wanted you dead You listened to the voices inside your head You listened to the voices that wanted you dead You listened to the voices inside your head You listened to the voices that wanted you dead |
| Lounge Fly Bleeding on the Floor Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 1061 | Mirror Got a new hit on Facebook this am Some chick thinks your photos are hawt Stand up straight and puff your chest That's your morning ego shot New comments on her comment wall JohnP37 likes your G string Should I let him know I got more to go All I have to do is my thing Take a look in the mirror Take a look in the mirror Take a look in the mirror Take a look in the mirror Put your arm around yourself And give yourself a hug Ain't you beautiful One fucking good looking fuck He's got a case of morning glory Time to stop it with his left hand That's all that this glassed acne gets From childhood till he is a man It's her moment of hell again Clock rings 8am, time to purge She's as pretty as they come but can't see it All she sees is the unseen fat surge Take a look in the mirror Take a look in the mirror Take a look in the mirror Take a look in the mirror Put your arm around yourself And give yourself a hug Ain't you beautiful One fucking good looking fuck Put your arm around yourself And give yourself a hug Ain't you beautiful One fucking good looking fuck We walk through our days in a facebook haze We're living our lives one comment at a time Take a look in the mirror Take a look in the mirror Take a look in the mirror Take a look in the mirror Put your arm around yourself And give yourself a hug Ain't you beautiful One fucking good looking fuck Put your arm around yourself And give yourself a hug Ain't you beautiful One fucking good looking fuck (BTW, if anyone thinks I repeat lines too much - I can't write lyrics without repeating at least one part over and over. It's the lazy bastard's way of writing a hook). |
