I'm still procrastinating on my michrophone, then need to learn how to put the words with music. (I don't know what a good mic for this is).

I wrote a lyric for this for female vox. (Actually wrote for my voice range, though I only sing with a few locals I know and not in public). I'm not that brave yet.

This is just a real simple lyric, but I thought if any female vox wants to put this to Marks music, I'd contribute it. It's nothing special, just a little rock and roll with a little bit country. your's for the taking:


Nothing But Bad News

Verse 1
I ain't puttin' up with no more lies,
You mess around on me out with the guys.

Verse2
You tell me I'm the only one for you,
Mama didn't raise me to be anybody's fool.

Pre Chorus
Playin' me, playin' me isn't cool..

Chorus 1
You showed me, mama told me,
What you're all about.
You showed me, mama told me,
This will not work out.

Chorus 2
You showed me mama told me,
You can not be true.
You showed me, mama told me,
You're nothing but bad news.

Break

Verse 3
Mama told me kiss that man good-bye,
Find a man that don't need alibi's.

Short Bridge
He's untrue..........

Verse 4
Mama said if that man get's a chance,
He won't give you a second glance.

Pre Chorus
He's played you, played you cause he can..

Chorus 1
He showed you, what mama told you,
What he's all about.
He showed you, what mama told you,
This will not work out.

Chorus 2
He showed you, what mama told you,
He can not be true.
He showed you, what mama told you,
He's nothing but bad news.

Otto
He won't be takin' you, makin' you his fool..







Nightengale, I really like this! I wish I could hear it, but I definitely understand that the idea of singing and posting it on the internet for the entire planet to hear can be a bit daunting. Well, that and not having a mic. But this is a great rock lyric...has a lot of room for attitude and emotion, and I've come to believe that's more important to a rock lyric than story, wordplay or even imagery.

Nice one! Thanks for doing this...it's really fun for me to see, and hopefully a different kind of challenge for people to try. smile
