As people seem to enjoy my lyrics, here is another one I wrote ages ago.
Its a fictional story. All comments welcome.
HARPOON
Never sung a happy song but I think I might start
with the story of a young girl how she spear gunned my heart
how she made me feel restless like I'm lost in a dream
where nothing I turn to is as real as it seems
Well we went to this party and we met in the hall
her mouth didn't open but her eyes said it all
I knew in an instant I was fighting with fate
so before the night ended asked her out on a date
My talk about football had her left in a daze
but she'd turn all the tables in those high class cafes
though every action she made made me smile
I couldn't accept her, I was in such denial
well...well I think I see a problem forming here
I might know how to love but I don't know how to face the fear
every minute seems to take a year
should I end it now or should I just pretend
that I can be with you when I can never be your friend
We need a change of scenery so she slips into bed
but she takes off her t-shirt like a gun to my head
and I cannot ignore her but she's barely sixteen
and everything after that still feels like a dream
Her mourning that evening
it made me decide
what more could emote her than her passion and pride
I was trying to help her but it all went wrong
and I'm far too sad now...far too sad now...to sing that Happy song
