For An Ounce Of Gold

For an ounce of gold
You walked away from those who loved you
And you broke the bonds
With those who always kept you safe

Chorus

For an ounce of gold
You simply walked away
For an ounce of gold
From all the plans we made
For an ounce of gold
Your choices have been made
For an ounce of gold
I hope you're happy this way

For an ounce of gold
You turned your back on those who loved you
And you closed the door
And walked away from everything we'd built 

Chorus

Chorus

For An Ounce Of Gold

Is this madness or is it just the shape of my world?
Tinged with sadness, I have been afraid of the world
Isolated from the places I have known
Medication plugging holes in my soul

Chorus

I have been sane in insane places
And I need to know 
Is it me or the world?

Am I just like all the others you have seen?
Or is there something that is special about me?
Diagnose this, tell me what is wrong with my world
Classify this, put me in a box, contain my world

lyrics:
And then i ask my self, is there a way out, could i be heard loud?
And then i ask my self, could it be?

And then i turn my head, up in the sky and wondering why?
could i turn back time or live it again?

Chances are thrown away, anothers have won not gone astray
but that's a blessing not a curse so thank you!

You think is over...over now, just shake your head and face now
face the truth and all the greatness around

Don't need nothing else, i got everything that completes me
all the rest is just a dusty grain of sand

Dusty Grain of Sand

[Verse]
I'm falling fast and I'm falling hard
I'm ready now, to let down my guard
I've played with fire, got burned before
But this time, I want something more (oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
Re-up on love, I'm ready to go (oh-oh-oh)
Promise not to fall for someone else, no (no, no, no)
I'll be yours when I'm alone, when I'm sober (sober)
Struck by your love, I can't get over (over, over)

[Verse]
I'm falling fast and I'm falling hard
I'm ready now, to let down my guard
I've played with fire, got burned before
But this time, I want something more (oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
Re-up on love, I'm ready to go (oh-oh-oh)
Promise not to fall for someone else, no (no, no, no)
I'll be yours when I'm alone, when I'm sober (sober)
Struck by your love, I can't get over (over, over)

[Bridge]
Re-up on love, I'm ready to go (oh-oh-oh)
Promise not to fall for someone else, no (no, no, no)
I'll be yours when I'm alone, when I'm sober (sober)
Struck by your love, I can't get over, I can't get over

[Outro]
I'll be yours when I'm alone, when I'm sober
Struck by your love, I can't get over, (no no I can't get over)
I'll be yours when I'm alone, when I'm sober
Struck by your love, I can't get over, can't get over

Re-Up On Love

This was originally titled Montego bay but I remembered a record from years back with the same title so renamed it.
I think this song would really suit a reggae/calypso style band. This is just a pretty basic recording of the song I did myself.
If there are any recording artists who think they might be interested in using it, please contact me.

Lyrics below.

Montego Bay

Verse1
When the sun don't shine and the sky is grey
I'm going to take you on a holiday
I'll book a long haul flight we can fly away
And wake up in the morning in Montego bay

Verse2
We can lie on a beach and listen to the waves
Drink a Pina Colada as we soak up the rays
Find a cool beach bar where the rock stars go 
And spot some famous faces from a tv show

Verse3 
Mocking birds will be singing as they fly through the trees 
With the sweet smell of ganja floating  on the breeze
Red snappers will fry as the Rasta's get high 
while the jukebox is playing miss America pie

Middle 8
We're flying away for a holiday
We'll be arriving soon in Montego bay
We're looking down we're less than two  miles high
Over a turquoise sea and a clear blue sky

Verse4
We'll sit at the bar and drink Jamaican rum
Play a Bob Marley record as the hummingbirds hum
We'll buy a new pair of shades and some Tshirts that say
That we've fallen in love with Montego Bay

Verse5
When the sun goes down we'll catch a cab into town 
Eat some hot spiced chicken as we wander around
We're on our holiday and I'm going to pay 
To show you all the nightlife in Montego bay.

Verse7
So when its cold and wet and the sky is grey
Why don't we book a holiday
A week or two lying in the sun
Recharging our batteries for the morning run

We can lie on a beach and listen to the waves
Drink a Pina Colada as we soak up the rays
Find a cool beach bar where the rock stars go 
Spot some famous faces from a tv show

Mocking birds will be singing as they fly through the trees 
With the sweet smell of ganja floating  on the breeze
Red snappers will fry as the Rasta's get high 
while the jukebox is playing miss America pie

We'll sit at the bar and drink Jamaican rum
Play a Bob Marley record as the hummingbirds hum
We'll buy a new pair of shades and some Tshirts that say
That we've fallen in love with Montego Bay

Mockingbirds will be singing as they fly through the trees
With the sweet smell of Jasmine floating on the breeze
Red snappers will fly as the sun's getting high
And the jukebox is playing miss American pie

Promises Turning Black

I am not in your tree, and you're not in mine
only the stable will not snap, the strong survive
cutting all my scenes like a curious child
  with a razor blade
   promises that I made slowly turning black
 promises that I made forever slowly turning black

 when I showed the secret to you
about how to rule the world
you had to take it all and leave me looking back
  and looking back is nothing new
    promises that I made, you made them too
           promises turning black and blue

I am not in your tree, but I like the view
high above it all, and yet I'm still below you
waiting for the rain to come, th' sun to shine
        like a precious jewel
    promises that I made slowly turning black
promises that I made forever slowly turning black

  how to put the words together
 I fail each time I try
I make an effort, there is no doubting that
   so many questions you need not ask
    promises that I made, you made them too
            promises turning black and blue

I wanted to write a rock song for an ac/dc style rock band. This my version, if any bands out there are interested in using it please contact me.

Cougar

Verse1
Hey guys you better watch out
Just heard that there's a cougar about
Man eater searching for her prey
No need to worry if you're old or grey

Verse 2

Young guys are her only desire
Arm candy that can light her fire
On the prowl looking for a catch
Nails painted and she's ready to scratch

Chorus

She ain't a tiger, she's not a cheetah
She's a cougar and a real man eater
She'll eat you up she'll spit you out
Real cougars they don't mess about

Middle 8

Hey guys she'll flash you a smile
You'll be under her spell in a while
Leave her now or it'll be too late
Going to pounce soon if you hesitate
Don't tell me I didn't warn yer
There's a cougar coming round the corner
Not walking  she's stalking
You're a dead man if you start talking.

Chorus

She ain't a tiger, she's not a cheetah
She's a cougar and a real man eater
She'll eat you up she'll spit you out
Real cougars they don't mess about

I Dont Need Your Love

Nothing Wrong 

V1
Is there a place that you call home?
Where it's okay to be alone?
Your silence hides how you feel about me
I find it hard to understand
How you can leave things so unplanned
It makes no sense  that you want to be with me

Pre-Chorus
There are times when everything's alright
But I don't think I want to be here with you tonight

Chorus
There's nothing wrong, nothing wrong with me
There's nothing wrong, nothing wrong with me

V2
In shadows deep, lost in the night
You cut a sad and lonely sight
Your silence screams "Will you please help me?"
You are the other side of me
The person I don't want to me 
So please let go, please will you set me free?

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Chorus

There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong
