I just write whatever is on my mind and for some strange reason I wrote a kinda love song?

What am I doing with my life?

I Believe In You (Original)

Offer a hand while you're near
Understand, you're no longer here,
Made my demands, completely clear,
Built upon the sands, that you hold dear,

Side by side, with that look in your eyes,
Why oh why, can it be us?

Every embrace, felt like home,
Smiling face, now you're gone,
Without a trace, sank like stone,
Amazing grace, fought alone

Side by side, with that look in your eyes,
Why oh why, can it be us? 

Glad to share, in all its glory,
Life's unfair, you had no worries
You dared, made your own story,
You cared, and laid your heart upon me.

Side by side, you've got that look in your eyes,
Why oh why? Can it be us?

You were all that I wanted,
I would have set you free,
You were all that I prayed for,
You were all that I need.

Wistful Thinking (Original)

High voice HA!

Lyrics:

Waiting for a friend,
Waiting in the rain,
Come and take me from this place,
Waiting for a train.

Times running out,
Scream and shout,
Times running out,
Left in no doubt,

See the train, come passing by,
Jump and fall on the tracks,
Once again, I'm left behind,
It's not coming back.

Times running out,
Scream and shout,
Times running out,
Left in no doubt.

I'm so tired of trying hard,
To see it drift away,
What is life? If I cant be free?
Or never get a say?

Feel so trapped, in a world of deceit,
Feel the chains, all around my feet,
Feel so empty, gather round in defeat,
Come and laugh, at the man on the street...

Waiting For A Train (Original)

Lyrics:

Remember the days when, we had no heating, but food on the table, shoes on our feet, and love in our hearts, was all we needed then.

Penniless days and tumultuous nights, sat straight in front of, council gas fires, playing with Lego, we never needed more.

Second hand trainers, never more happy, taking photos, of the family, trips to Blackpool, Bostons Third Stage.

Things were different, I keep them with me, what you did, for all the 
family, we had our issues, but know that our love is strong.

I want to thank you, for trying your best and
Helping us when we, needed you most and
Going so hungry, so we could live and thrive.

Mum (Part 2)(Original)

As the ships and tanks, creep across, the horizon,
And the troops march towards our town,
We stand strong, all along and stiffen the sinew,
We've got so many boots on the ground.

Tax paid missiles flash throughout the sky,
Smoke and diesel fumes fill the air,
Soldiers gun, duck and run, looking for cover,
They haven't got the time to care.

Another in a long line of crises, as we go back and forth
with Oligarchs, to and fro with ISIS.

Fighting for politicians, lobbies and corporations,
They're well fed, they're safe and warm, but where are we?

Evil men in sharp silk suits, tell us where and when to fight,
Placate the sheep, and abuse the sceptical with their vicious spite.

Fire rains down from above, like napalm showers,
They say that all is fair in love and war.
Cry havoc for pillaging and destruction
No one gives a fuck about the poor.

The poor die and the rich will survive,
Darwinism hugely expedited,
Flattened land and a nuclear winter,
This is what happens when we're not united.

Another in a long line of careers, as we go back and forth
with chairmen, to and from Korea.

We fight for people who don't give a fuck about us.
They're well fed, and they're happy at home, but where are we?

The Nuclear Option (Original)

Capo on 5th, DGDGBD (Open G tuning) if you wanna play along :) C, F, G, Am (Without capo). Cheers! As always, use headphones!

Wanted it to end, and I'm in need of a friend, to help me,
Create a new life, without all the strife, and feel free,
Its not on you, to make me less blue, but you see,
I'm on the floor, and don't close the door, help me.

Want to go back, and get back on track, to better days,
Feel so bereft, wondering what's left, to coin a phrase,
How can it change, to try and rearrange, my old veins,
Pieces of my heart, make a brand new start, and be amazed.

Really want to, really need to, get back to how I was

Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooohh la la

Dancing in the dark, bite worse than my bark, and better nights,
Singing in the sun, rather fight than run, future sights,
Ambitious dreams, nothing what it seemed, it seemed right,
Now I feel alone, a man without a home, taking flight.

Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooooh la la
Ooohh la la

Better Days (Original)

Lyrics:

Do you ever, feel like love is, for a chosen few?
Do you want to, know the truth that, lies inside of you?
Do you see the, sands of time are, falling away from view?
And the hope that, you had prior, has disappeared too.

Driving forward, clutching onto, what is left behind,
Out of luck and out of breath but, still you've got your mind,
At this juncture, ten years younger, you thought you had the time,
Now its gone with, all the hunger, its time to unwind.

Ten years wiser, I can still make you see,
Ten years older, I can still make you feel,
Ten years slower, never was a fan of speed,
Ten years broken.

Feeling strange and feeling desperate, in a foreign land,
Holding on and seeing strangers, playing out my plans,
For a crumb of northern comfort, holding out my hands,
I was only twenty three, but making final stands.

Ten years wiser, I can still make you see,
Ten years older, I can still make you feel,
Ten years slower, never was a fan of speed,
Ten years broken.

I'm broken
Broken
Broken
Broken
Broken
Broken.

Ten Years Broken (Original)

So I wrote lyrics, arranged, produced, played all the instruments and sang on the cheesiest song of all time HAHA. Not bad for something that I came up with in 10 minutes 🤣

I am not actually in love. Here's a song for all of you who are though!

Quite catchy and big guitars..... always a bonus!

Lyrics:

Every night I close my eyes, 
wishing you were lying right beside me.
Wanna get those bad memories, 
put all those bad things behind me.

Because all I know is, that I'm lying, 
to myself, once again.
And you know its true,
I'll keep on loving you.
Girl you know its true,
I'm gonna keep on loving you.

Put away your troubles,
And pick up all the rubble of our yesterday.
And I want you by my side, 
I've got nowhere left to hide so come on home.

Because all I know is, that I'm lying, 
to myself, once again.
And you know its true,
I'll keep on loving you.
Girl you know its true,
I'm gonna keep on loving you.


Keep On Loving You (Original)

It's not easy to try, when I feel like this.
Body's aching all the while, but I can't resist,
The loving charms of time, that I might have missed,
It's the reason and the rhyme.

Need a reason to wake, when the sun comes up,
Its like treason to fake, and be a misanthrope,
All I am to date, all I do is mess up.

I'm so sorry for the pain I've caused,
It's just Steve being Steve of course,
I'm so sorry for the pain I've caused,
It's just Steve being Steve of course.

But I'm dying to change, all I do is die,
Each and every day, a little step of mine,
Digging my own grave, gonna jump inside,
And take it all away.

It's what I need,
Everyday I bleed,
It's what I need,
Everyday I bleed.

The Misanthrope (Original)

So here's a song about getting old, chasing love and forgetting about living life while you're doing it..... What can I say? I speak from experience haha.

Headphones for full effect. Thanks for listening as always.

Love,

Steve xx

Verse 1:
I'm living like a fool, I'm living like a fool, I'm living like a fool,
Never felt so crazy, never felt so lazy, living like I do,
Loving like its hazy, loving never phased me, loving made me blue,
Making my way home, making my way home, make it back to you.

Out of sight and out of mind,
Out of love and tears I find,
In a hole, a warm to grind,
I'm getting too old now.
Getting too old for this,
Getting too old for this.

Verse 2:
I'm tryin' to keep my cool, I'm tryin' to keep my cool, I'm tryin' keep my cool,
Living in my head now, living in my head now, living like I do,
Loving like I need it, loving always haunted, loving made me blue,
Making my way home, making my way home, make it back to you.

Verse 3:
Breaking all the rules, I'm breaking all the rules, I'm breaking all the rules,
Living on the breadline, reading all the headlines, living like I do,
Loving like I'm dying, loving life and lying, loving made me blue,
Making my way home, making my way home, make it back to you.

Out of sight and out of mind,
Out of love and tears I find,
In a hole, a warm to grind,
I'm getting too old now.
Getting too old for this,
Getting too old for this.

Verse 4:
Asking all the questions, asking for directions, asking round for you.
Living in dreamland, living in dreams and, living like I do.
Loving like I'm past it, loving life fast and, loving made me blue,
I'm making my way home, making my way home, make it back to you.

I'm getting too old for this (cont)

Getting Too Old For This (Original)

One of my all time favourite songs, thought I would do a quick singing cover.

Cheers.

Bridge Over Troubled Water (Vocal Cover)

Decided to write a christmas song 😂😂 tried to make it as cheesy as possible, but also with most of the elements of other christmas songs I have heard (not that many!)

Enjoy 😂

#christmas #song #newmusic #cheesy #christmastime #music #musician #original

Hear the sleigh bells ringing,
Its christmas time again,
Spending time with family,
Spending time with friends.

The year is almost over,
Make a brand new start,
A time for giving gifts,
A renewal of the heart.

Making up for lost times,
By living up the good,
See the decorations,
Light up neighbourhoods.

A million different homes,
Putting on a show,
Illuminate your life,
And break the night with glow.

Inside every house,
Wall to wall with smiles,
Parents with their children,
Makes it all worthwhile.

But as we give our thanks,
With those that we trust,
We give a little toast,
To those not with us,

Oh it's Christmas time,
Christmas time,
Christmas time,
It's here again

Oh its Christmas time,
Christmas time,
Christmas time,
It's here again

Oh it's Christmas time,
Christmas time,
Oh it's Christmas time,
Christmas time

etc.

Christmas Time - Steve Bown (Original)

Just come up with a little ditty on the piano, and decided to do a quick sing on it. I am turning into the male Adele.

My eyes are blind, but I can see,
What you do, do to me,
Tear my heart, tear my soul,
How I try to get relief

Dont know why, I still can't sleep
How I try to make you see,
Cast aside, and ignored,
Pulled apart, despite my pleas

Every night is long, and every day is black,
Every right is wrong, and every way is back.

In the end, I'll be fine,
In the end, I'll find my way home, into the sunshine,
In the end, I'll take whats mine,
In the end, I'll be fine.

My eyes are open, and I find,
A little hope, and peace of mind,
Pick up the scraps, of my heart,
Down to earth, back to the start

Try again, and build my walls,
Try again, and find my cause
Purpose to live, to survive,
Suppose I ever find the time.

In the end, I'll be fine,
In the end, I'll find my way home, into the sunshine,
In the end, I'll take whats mine,
In the end, I'll be fine.

In The End - Steve Bown (Original)
