Hey David
I don't really pay a lot of attention to stuff like metre or the ab, ba thing. I have a melody for this and it works fine, I just need to adjust the vocal phrasing a little.

As for the goddamn thing sometimes I just write the way people talk(which works for some songs) I used Jim Beam cause it rhymes(originally I had windowlene). Thanks for the talent comment by the way.

Cheers
Joe
