Lyrics

I have been thinking about lyrics alot lately, the implications, the way in which adding lyrics to a simple chord structure can make it sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread. Being a guitarist I care more about the notes more than the lyrics (even through alot of songs i love for the lyrics i go more on melody and harmony than the actually words themselves...for shame!) so here is two songs that i love lyrically at the mo...:)



Lying I still can't find the truth.
So I spin another line on you
You can't blame a fella for trying
I'm hoping you eat my every word
Doesn't it taste so good?
But deep inside I'm dying

Oh! I wanna word with you
If there's never a perfect time
It's time for another white lie

White lies just another white lie
I did it to get close to you
And I will tell a million more
White lies just another white lie
I do it to get close to you
And I will tell a million more white lies

One day I know you'll understand
That I didn't really have much choice
I just had to hide it
Sometimes good men do bad things
Just as bad men can do good
Tell me which way you like it

Oh! I wanna word with you
There's never a perfect time
However much I try
Oh! Why don't you sit yourself down?
Cos we gotta talk this through
It's time for another white lie…

White lies just a little white lie
I did it to get close to you
And I will tell a million more
White lies just a little white lie
I do it to get close to you
And I will tell a million more white lies

Oh-oh oh-oh
I was just playing girl I was just playing by your rules
Oh-oh oh-oh
Just another white lie and I'll tell a million more
White lies…




One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine sense
To know what to say
Mind is a razorblade

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no

One night of magic rush
The start - a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, oh

And you, you knew the hand of a devil
And you kept us awake with wolves teeth
Sharing different heartbeats in one night

To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, no
To call for hands of above to lean on
Wouldn't be good enough for me, oh


These are sad songs, but they make me smile alot :)
