For Your Amusement

Waiting For You

Elvis Costello meets the Ramones in a punk rock romance song dedicated to my Missus...

CHORUS
Baby, who do you think you are?
You make me feel like a rock ‘n’ roll star

V1
I don’t need to throw a TV out the window
And I don’t need to wreck my hotel room
‘Cuz nothing ever gets me as excited
 Like hanging out and kicking it with you

CHORUS
  
V2
I don’t need to dance around big arena 
Playing to a million screaming fans
And don’t have the time for silly groupies
‘Cuz none of them could get me like you can

BRIDGE
When you just sing along
To your favorite songs
On the radio

SOLO

BRIDGE 2
And we can just sing along
To your favorite songs
On the radio

I don’t know a thing about fashion 
It was nothing I really cared about
But I’ll try to keep my belt and shoes matching
Just so I look good when we go out


CHORUS OUT

Who Do You Think You Are?

No Luck

Shrinking Walls

VERSE 1

At last, I kicked the weight off my chest
At last, I'm not a goddamn mess
At last, the noise turned into sound
At last, the time has come

At last, I'm laughing and it's real
At last, I see things clearly now
At last, I felt like me for miles
At last, the time has come

CHORUS

Whoa-oh, I used to choke on every breath
Whoa-oh, Now I’m screaming loud instead
Whoa-oh, I used to crawl along so slow
Whoa-oh, Whoa-oh

VERSE 2 

At last, I trashed the script they wrote
At last, I tore up every note
At last, I danced without a plan
At last, the time has come

At last, I ditched the safety net
At last, no more signs of regret
At last, I wrecked my comfort zone
At last, the time has come

At Last

VERSE

Fast talk, late walk, no sleep again
Heartbeat, hard street, loop back to when
No air, no care, but there's still the need to
Jump in, teeth grit, Cut deep, slow burn

CHORUS

I just had to try, but I couldn’t
Fix the cracks in what, what you wouldn’t
Let me hold, let me see
What you hid from me
Now I know what was wrong
Always set in stone

VERSE

Flashlight truth in a tunnel, a tunnel of lies
Step too close and, the promise dies
Wrote it all down, tore up the page
Locked inside me
Wrote it all down, tore up the page
Locked inside me

Set in Stone

VERSE

Eyes are stuck to their phones
Scrollin' scrollin' until the very end
They don't notice you're there
And they don't even pretend

Living life in pixels
And the occasional heart that is on a screen
Living life for the views
Doing all they can just to feel seen

CHORUS

Oh it's a brand new day, it's a brand new day
In this zombie life we're living now
Oh it's a brand new day, it's a brand new day
In this zombie life

It's a brand new day, it's a brand new day
In this zombie life we're living in
Oh it's a brand new day, it's a brand new day
in this zombie life

VERSE 2

Living life for the likes
Never looking up to see what is there
Life is passing them by
And nobody seems to care


Oh me, oh my!
Zombies everywhere...

BRIDGE

In this zombie life

Waiting For You

Steve Kingman
