A dedication to a good friend's beloved best friend. It's close to exemplifying him through music, but unless you knew him...

We all miss you Tweeky!

I wrote this song for a Reddit user called not_todaysatan, who was sharing a story of the most epic comeuppance they'd ever seen a spoiled kid get.

It is the first of (potentially) many songs that I intend to write out of interesting Reddit comments :)

Here's the lyrics and chords.

Down at the pony camp
                             F
The kids that I care for are spoiled
    C                                                 F              G
And one time a sportscaster's girl let herself get embroiled... in a fight

   F                        G
My coworker put that little girl in her place
        Am                              C
When it turned out she's worked on that girl's mother's face
F                     G                      C      F C
After that day, I can say, the brat shut her trap

Am 
Why is it that when I signed up to your cell phone service
C
I bought the sixty dollar plan, and now, I don't deserve this but
G
You only charge me minimum, one hundred twenty five
D
I don't know why you do it but it makes me we wanna cryyyyy

I went inside your store to go to speak to your cashier
The wait was oh, so long, and by the time that I was near
My rage was ready to erupt, I lost all my control
Now I feel like an asshole, and I am *not* an asshole

       C
Please forgive me sprint cashier
         G
It's not you who I should blame
        Am
But the company you work for
        G
Doesn't seem to feel the shame

It's the system that I hate
Sprint doesn't care, it's just a brand
And I swear from this day forward
They won't ever see my money in their hands

E 						   A
I miss the glitter and the rhinestones
E 							   A
I miss the capri pants and the flair leg jeans
I miss the way that belts were actually seat belts
        A 								     E
And the bottle caps... that were put on everything

E 				  A 		   B
Everything's more boring since I was just a lad
	  E 			   A 			  B
Don't think that I'm ignoring all the facts
	  E 			   A 			  B
I know that I'm an adult, but all the clothes I had
     A 				   E
They may have all been tacky
But I'd like to have them backy
	A 								B 			    E
The fashion of the early oughts was really not that bad

             G                       Gsus2/F#
Oh baby, I'm sorry, but you've gotta go-o
            Em7/B            Cadd9
We've gotta leave this all behind
And it's not that, I don't love you
Cause I feel it deep insi-ide

    B
But girl you know, I told you
  Am
I told how I was
  B
I made it clear, to you my dear
      Am
Which lines you couldn't cross!

And I said

G, G/E, G/A, G/C (over one line)

G                Gsus2/F#    Em7/B   Cadd9
Always leave for me the last slice
       G           Gsus2/F#            Em7/B          Cadd9
'Cause pizza is my favourite food, and I won't say it twice
       G             Gsus2/F#   Em7/B           Cadd9
It was written in my Tinder bio when you swiped right
            G              Gsus2/F#       Em7/B         Cadd9
That if you take the final wedge then I'm gonna say goodbye

So goodbye!
Goodbye
Take that final slice of pizza, and use it... to wave me goodbye

How Did You Know It Was Time To Break Up With Your SO? by WhenAllElseFail

CAPO 3

Verse: C F G, Am G F

I've never been a fan of Gods or deities
I live my life devoid of supernatural beings
But there's one thing they done which I have gotta say
Has made the world the wonderous place it is today

Chorus: C G F

I love all the art and the buildings
The temples, mausoleums and the tapestries and busts

I respect the mosque in Mecca
And St. Paul's is pretty special
And that giant sitting Buddha
I would say is really good and I
Admit that I am all about that gorgeous
Taj Mahal, and I really must confess
I think the wailing wall is best

So please believe: it's not for me
But if this is what the organised religions do
That's pretty frickin' sweet

[Serious] Whether you're liberal, conservative, atheist, religious, etc. What do think is a good point the other side has?

               D
People say I'm weird
                        A
But it's the only way I know
To deal with the shame
When we buy a cup o' joe

               D
You gotta understand
                      A
That I really love my wife
                 Bm
But I just can't stand to make her order
        D                         A
While I look another human in the eyes

            E
Cause she insists on buying
             D
Soya, mocha, skinny, caramel,
       E
Venti, cold brew, frappucinno,
       D
And an everything bagel

          A              D
So I just drive into the drive-thru
         E                    D
With the rear lights in front
One eye on the mirrors
And my ears firmly shut

And she proceeds to her business
As I turn the other cheek
    Bm
And because of this our long and happy marriage
                    A
Can survive another week

Thank you for the request
            C                G
But I don't think I have the time
     G                        D
I've gotta go to do a show or something along those lines

    G                            C               G
But nonetheless the reaction you gave was pretty great
    G                                     D             G
I'm glad you liked the song, now I'll say thank you and good day. Good dayyyyyy.

They're comin' for yours as they came for our city
They know your public transport is too shitty
To meets demands of the average commuter
  That's right my friends, soon we'll all have a scooter!

It started with bikes popping up in odd places
Like middles of rivers and peoples' workplaces
But bikes are too fragile and take too much room
And scooters are tiny and they'll come for you soon!

	   Am
So hop on, push your foot
		   F
And you'll see, that it's goot
		 C
You will fly, down the street!
       G
One of us! Join the fleet!

Impostor Syndrome (Prod. Sarcastic Sounds)

When The Time's Right - first single to be released on Soundcloud by James Larke. Trialling my new recording setup in my bedroom - let me know what you think!

When The Time's Right

Little ditty I have been working on. I call this "doing my best with Addictive Drums and a keyboard".

LYRICS:
I am exhausted
Panting frantic, toes grip the edge
Rag doll slide off the bed
Now I'm goin' down.

She's been waiting for me
Can't tell me where to go...

So I wander through the fields 
Stepping barefoot through ash,
Bodies, shells and broken glass

The war rages
Neither a winning side
Yet still, she waits for me
Above the field above the trees
She waits for me
And I carry on with bleeding feet
Each step closer seeing that
I'm not going anywhere
Walking on a treadmill street
Wrong way on the one-way

The end of days prophet touches God
And tells you to get a move on
'Cause you're not getting anywhere
Traveling that road
Push through the battle
You'll find what your heart is looking for
Push through the battle
You'll find what your heart is looking for.

Exhausted

It is the sixty-eighth of (potentially) many songs that I intend to write out of interesting Reddit comments or posts :)

This song was recorded at the HI American Hotel Hostel in Seattle, WA, USA.

Here's the lyrics and chords.

Bm7         G  		      D 				 A
     When I was sixteen I thought that I was smart
Out of all my friends I knew the most 'bout sciences and art

Then I left the town of 20 folks that I had known
I went to school and soon my whole wide world was blown

      Cmaj7             											  D
And I learned that in a little pond, a little fish can stand out in a crowd
			Cmaj7 																						    A
But now I'm smart enough to recognise I'm not as blessed as I once thought, my intellect is not that well endowed!

	  D
I'm a dumbass
	  A
I'm a moron
		Cmaj7 			G 				   A
But I'm smart enough to know at least that much
I'm an idiot
I'm a knucklehead
But at least I know I'm stupid so I'll take this fact and use it as a crutch
