Description
Long, long, sad song. Rhythms get a bit muddled around the middle but I've lost the master.

Lyrics
So you come knocking at my door
Telling me you've never felt this way before
No-one's ever felt this pain
Well, think again

Verse:
If your heart is broken and you don't know what to do
Join the queue

Three weeks out of Brixton Jack is back to his old tricks again
Staying out all night with the old crew
Doing things he shouldn't do and looking for some kicks again
Three kids and a wife of 22
Believing love can save him from his love of misbehaving
She turns her back as Jack dips in her purse
Pretending she don't feel the pain, but he'll be back inside again
By Christmas if the drugs don't get him first.

Chorus

Michael's mother loves him so, she doesn't want her son to go
To fight in countries where he don't belong
He's doing it to safe his face, dad says that he's a waste of space
He says she's mollycoddled him too long
She's not sure why she starts to cry while she puts out some clothes to dry
Pegging out the washing on the wire
She listens to the drive-time show when news comes on the radio
Local soldier killed by friendly fire

Chorus

When Sarah takes her boyfriend home, he takes some photos on his phone
He says they're just for him alone to see
But two weeks later for a bet he posts them on the internet
And now she's on a drip in A & E.

We love because we love because we love because we love because we love
Because without love life's a void
But love is our Achilles heel and sometimes love's a lousy deal
The love we make's so easy to destroy

Chorus

My goodness!
I hear the Beatles influence in the vocal styling. I would appreciate seeing the lyrics. This is a nice mix of instruments and vocals and it has a retro feel. Enjoyed. Thanks.

lost in the story
great to see you back here! Very nicely written and played/sung music... and the lyrics just draw me in, what twisted stories we all have.

Can't wait for you to get your recording set up again so we can hear some new stuff too!

ttfn,
Drakonis
