Oh, Death

Title: Daisy
Artist: Lazy Dynamite
Words & Music by:  James Justin

This was a very early composition.     A decision to rewrite the chorus was made some time later when demoing the track in Thailand but the melody in the verse & pre-chorus felt melodic and memorable thus remained intact.  The simplicity of the lyrics complimented the melodic progression of the song. 

'Daisy' was influenced by a particular style of 70's soft a.m. radio hits of that era.    A sound that was common but a handful of artists captured something unique that stood out amongst the rest. One hit wonders with a streak of melodic genius & production. A few of my fave one hit wonders from the 70's, 'Magnet and Steel' by Walter Egan,  'Baby Come Back' by Player,  'My Angel Baby' by Toby Beau, , and 'Sad Eyes by Robert John.   

An appreciation for some of those old 70's a.m. radio K-tel soft rock hits.    Lots of great music in the 70's ... but this style was a breed all its own.  Top Quality Pop Pablum. 

DAISY

She calls me in the middle of the night 
Just to tell me everything's alright
But she's lonely

I tell her not to worry - There's no hurry
"Just take your time"
But she knows me

And I didn't even try to tell her 
'cause I knew if I tried  - She'd only ask why

All her life had been a world of sad goodbyes
With nothing to show  - And no-one to hold

Daisy - Nothings as bad as it seems
Daisy - You know you can do anything
When your feeling like crying - Your only healing the pain
Daisy - Sweet loves gonna fill your life

I know I could of made things right 
I could of told her how I felt inside
But I waited

I couldn't find the strength to say
The love is just a word a way
I hesitated

And I didn't even try to tell her 
'cause I knew if I tried  - She'd only ask why

Time had pushed our love aside and made us friends
And friendship can't die - I won't even try

Daisy - Nothings as bad as it seems
Daisy - You know you can do anything
When your feeling like crying - Your only healing the pain
Daisy - Sweet loves gonna fill your life

Daisy - Nothings as bad as it seems
Daisy - You know you can do anything
When your feeling like crying - Your only healing the pain
Daisy - Sweet loves gonna fill your life
It's gonna fill your live (Daisy)
Daisy - Sweet loves gonna fill your life

Oh, Death
