Danny asked me to write a melody for his lyrics so this is what I came up with. Not sure what genre it should be in though.
I get very confused about genres.
Maybe one of you good folk can pin a label on it.

The Straight And Narrow

V1
I've always been a rebel
Never cared much for authority
If the playing field was level
I tipped it in a way that suited me
But this road I'm on is rocky
Getting steeper every minute as I climb
The lessons life has taught me
Have started to weigh heavy on my mind

Ch
Now I'll walk the straight and narrow every day and night
I'll keep listening for the echo of your voice to keep me right
Just like a soaring arrow I'll come out of the blue
I'll walk the straight and narrow ... all the way to you

V2
Now, I'm no social climber
But I've had my eye fixed on the prize
Then I saw something finer
And reached out for the chance to make you mine
I tried to be your hero
But couldn't make it past the right and wrong
Now I'm left with less than zero
As I try to find the strength to to carry on

Ch
Now I'll walk the straight and narrow every day and night
I'll keep listening for the echo of your voice to keep me right
Just like a soaring arrow I'll come out of the blue
I'll walk the straight and narrow ... all the way to you

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
