First day of my life (cover)

These streets - Paolo Nutini cover

(excuse the horrific sound quality guys, but all I have is a shitty laptop microphone :P)

this is my first (and last) attempt at writing new lyrics to a current pop song, from the perspective of a character in a book. (Stuart, I blame you entirely.) 
                                                                      
Anyway, have a wee listen :P   [and here's my lyrics,  incase you cant hear them because of the terrific audio/my accent]

You've got cuts and scratches on your face
At the reaping, took your sister's place
And you held her in a warm embrace
So she could feel your love.

On the train, the Games are drawing near,
We arrive there, and the crowds all cheer,
How can they do this every God-damn year?
Their superficial love.

I know you just want to get out alive,
But we need to show Snow that we're strong. 
I've known it from the moment I tossed you that loaf,
With me in District 12’s where you belong

I'd go hungry, paint myself in mud
Lay in a river, covered in my blood 
Crawl in a cave and pray to God you cud (could :P)
Oh, Katniss feel my love.

[INSTRUMENTAL]

The storms are raging outside our little shack
I’ll hold you tight, forget the world
Then you left me to get a medicine pack
But when you kissed me, my head swirled.

I could be your safety-net, your one desire
But I can’t catch you, you’re the Girl on Fire
But now we’re out, I see you’re just a liar, 
Who played me for my love, 
My unrequited love.... :’(

Make you feel my love  as 'sung' by the lovelorn Peeta (HG)  :P

lyrics 

She was waitin` at the station,
He was gettin` off the train,
He didn't have a ticket,
So he had to run through the barriers...again.

Well the ticket inspector saw him rushing through
He said "Girl you don't know how much I missed you but
We'd better run 'cause I haven't got the funds to pay this fine."
She said "Fine"

Well so they ran out of the station and jumped onto a bus
With 2 of yesterdays travel cards and two bottles of bud
And he said "You look well nice"


Well she was wearing a skirt
And he thought she looked nice
And yes, she didn't really care about anything else
Cause she only wanted him to think that she looked nice
And he did...

But he was looking at her, yeah all funny in the eye
She said "Come on boy tell me what you're thinking
Now don't be shy."
He said "alright I'll try"
All the stars up in the sky
And the leaves in the trees
All the broken bits that make you jump up
And grassy bits in between
All the matter in the world is how much I like you."

She said "What?"
He said "You, Let me try and explain again...

Right birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
And they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared.
But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you
yeah thats how I feel about you"

She said "what are you talking about?"
"let me try and explain again"


right birds can fly so high
and they can shit on your head
yeah they can almost fly into your eye
and make you feel so scared
but when you look at them
and you see that they're beautiful
thats how i feel about you
right, thats how i feel about you"

She said "thanks, I like you too"
He said "cool"
