Baby please forget that stop button
You don't need to hit that button
don't want money, don’t need a mansion

Just hit pause before it's too late
Yeah hit pause before it's too late
Come on now doncha hesitate

I feel like I've been on fast forward
Yeah too long on fast forward
Slow it down, you know my password

Rewind me, take me back in time
Rewind me, take me back in time
Back to when you were all mine

Rewind Me

Well (Håkan) https://soundcloud.com/user-370942421-686440500 had an open collaboration track https://soundcloud.com/user-370942421-686440500/glycerine-2025-05-31-20-58 and Claude https://soundcloud.com/claudelebelge just dropped an open collaboration track also, https://soundcloud.com/claudelebelge/08062025-download-my-drone ...a very organic approach to creating one - you need to check his page on how he came up with it!
I thought they might go good together, and added some guitar run through an EHX S9...

Why do today what I won’t do tomorrow
Cause I don’t know where I’ll be
Anyone can see what’s hanging on my clothesline
I don’t care as long as you’re hanging with me

You say I’m silly, a willy, a low-land hillbilly
You say I’m adorable
I’m a sinner, a winner, an intellect beginner
But I’ll never be a deplorable

When I see a man just sitting on the sidewalk
I say, Brother, let’s talk man to man
Everyone near or far is my neighbor
Brother, I’m gonna help you the best that I can

You say I’m silly, a willy, a low-land hillbilly
You say I’m adorable
I’m a monkey, sugar junkie, a small-town flunky 
But I’ll never be a deplorable

You say I’m silly, a willy, a low-land hillbilly
You say I’m adorable
I’m electric, eclectic, calmly apoplectic 
But I’ll never be a deplorable

Electric Eclectic

Intro 
V1:
relaxing in the park surrounded by roses
blue birds are singing, the leaves are swaying
I let my worries and tension slide away
enchanted by blue skies with clouds slowly dancing 

Rest

Refrain
 oh no! here come the scrolling zombies 
tangled in the tech gods’ web

V2
led by a phone like a carrot on a stick
no time to waste there’s always another app
earbuds have replaced mother nature’s call 
stepping in line tap tap tap
 
Solo

Bridge: 
Alger's Rhythm Kings lay down the beat 
for Zombies who’ve passed the point of retreat. 

V3
driven by ones, zeros and pixels
buried deep in their reels and likes
no light no life in their staring eyes
up down left right go the finger swipes

Refrain 

Outro solo

[Verse]
I never meant to hurt you no
I never meant to make you feel so low
The sky turns gray when you're not near
I’m just being me but I see your tear

[Prechorus]
The words I said
They cut too deep
I didn’t know love could lose its heat

[Chorus]
I never meant to give you the pushed out blues
I never meant to make your heart refuse
Oh baby
I wish you'd see
Wish you'd choose
I never meant to give you the pushed out blues

[Verse 2]
You call me wild like a stormy sea
But all I wanted was to set you free
I know my edges are sharp and rough
But loving me shouldn’t feel this tough

[Chorus]
I never meant to give you the pushed out blues
I never meant to make your heart confuse
Oh darling
I’m standing here with no excuse
I never meant to give you the pushed out blues

[Bridge]
The clock ticks slow when I’m all alone
Echoes of us in a silent tone
I’m not perfect but I swear it’s true
Every note I sing belongs to you
