PUPPET
I’m a puppet on a string for you
Wicked little rendezvous 
leave me dizzy

(Flirting baby getting bolder, 
On my mind bring it over, 
I need you now)

I need you, need you now x2

I’ll leave in 5 (I’ll leave in 10)
Sexier when we’re creeping
No one needs to know

(The other lover’s never copped it
On the low when we’re rocking
I need you now)

I need you, need you now x2
Close the curtains baby, let’s get started

I never called my own name before
Scratching grooves in your back
Pouring oil down my spine
Flip me over do you like that
Caught up in this carrying on
Can we keep going?

(I’ve got my hand on your mouth)
Cause you make me scream too loud
I can’t help it

I need you watching
Don’t stop, (I’m not stopping)
Amazing x5

Come on baby keep this secret, let’s keep this secret...

Puppet

Lyrics - PLACEHOLDER
Chorus:
You’re a placeholder, a seat filler
You’re holdin a spot till my love comes along 
Till he comes 
x2 

We met virtually but in reality, 
(we connected) connected 
You put your hand on my knee, and I smiled coyly 
And we connected, connected 
Chorus

We were lonely, our beds were empty, 
(we played) we played 
We both needed love, but we are not in love 
And we play, we play
Chorus x2

Cause I need passion, I need fire 
And you my darling are lukewarm 
You need quiet and you need demure 
And I am not these things 
I am not these things
Chorus x2.5

Placeholder

I wrote Dangerous in outrage while observing a friend of mine falling for a despicable woman.  I was full of attitude which the studio distilled into an excellent  production.  This tune begs its subject to grow some self-respect.  

DANGEROUS 
She calls, you talk 
Of what you speak I couldn’t say 
Subtext is delicious 
Little games that she plays

She ain’t happy 
But she won’t leave him, not for you 
Yet you persist with this (foolishness)
And she won’t choose

Chorus:
She will never love you, she will never give to you x2 
She’s Dangerous, What’s wrong with ya? 

Your eyes, your heart is her addiction and she 
Ignores your wants and needs 
Cause she’s (Greedy, Greedy, Greedy) 

And her reflection for you my friend, 
Don’t go beyond all these truths 
Cause even if her heart was free, 
It’d never belong to you 

She’s a stupid little, vicious little, vapid little, wicked little, selfish girl
Using you to fill her empty little, sick little, twisted little, selfish world

Chorus
Dangerous, what’s wrong with ya? x2

She’s manipulate with her heart as bait and you follow her around
She’s a nasty little piece, you’re her sorry little clown
She’s manipulate with her heart as bait and you follow her around
She’s a nasty little piece, I wanna take her down

She ain’t worthy, She ain’t worth it x4

Dangerous (radio edit)

Neo soul gospel inspired track. Strong backing vocals and irrisitable percussion.

Lyrics - Death 

DEATH 
You know that death came a’knocking on
My mama’s/sisters/ front door
He said “Come on mama/sister/Mirenda are you ready to go?”
And she/I stopped down, buckled up her/my shoes 
And she/I moved on down to that Jordon stream and she/I shout
“Hallelujah, done done my duty! I got my travelling shoes.”

Death

Dirty, dirty, hard core blues. Mirenda in her natural element powering out pain. Not for the faint hearted. If you've ever seen Mirenda live then this song will remind you what its like to have her standing 3 inches from your face, staring you in the eye, and forcing you to feel what she feels.

Good Woman

Avant-garde acoustic neo soul track with a light rock vibe. Its that something different. Spotify —> https://open.spotify.com/track/0sRoxwub1mZLhbyEt1VcNj?si=fVzrhTKVRwCrJ2fWGfLWrA

Don't Sacrifice

Mirenda is an American soul singer living in the northwest of Ireland. She and her band have opened for Chuck Berry twice who called Mirenda “The Real Deal.” She is influenced by Curtis Mayfield, Bessie Smith, Ray Charles, and Nina Simone.

When Nina Simone said, “How do you explain what it feels like to get on stage and make poetry that you know sinks into the hearts and souls of people” she could have been referring to the unique talent that is singer song-writer Mirenda.
