How do you explain?

If only I could kick back and write me a song
To kick back and some part of you in my dream
But now instead of pie of love
Out of the hotel they came for hounted by the angst
Well it might be that I just want attention for myself

When a thousand nights just go by 
With circles of thougths on my mind

Maybe I just have all these problems
That I hide away
I get older
We talk about life as if we never knew anyone
We talk about life as if we never knew anything
How do you explain 

Where I expected to find love
Me and my friends were drinking beer

I was born between alkohol and dirty magazines
Naked in my cheap underwear
Have nothing more than a cousin of dirt
I was born between alkohol and dirty magazines

Bro...
Well, I tried alkohol
Bro...
I even tried women

Maybe I just have all these problems
That I hide away
I get older
We talk about life as if we never knew anyone
We talk about life as if we never knew anything
How do you explain 

Well, maybe I just want attention for myself
If only I could kick back and write me a song

How Do You Explain?

Slightly odd rock with some country and grunge in the background and I play a CBG.

I am a false prophet

Personally, quite dissatisfied with the song, but I think the lyrics were funnier than expected. The last piece was improvised. That was not at all what I meant to say. Don't know what happened. Apologies in advance if I disrespected anyone by stating that there are priests who lies and are hypocrites. This was absolutely NOT my intention with this song.
---------------------

Why don't you trust me?
No lies on days with a sun
Yeah, that's right 

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
It's a foolproof system
Why don't you trust me?

On a Monday I tell you 
I went for a morning jog
I snoozed my alarm four times

On a Tuesday I talk about
My amazing work ethic
No mention the extended lunch break 
Why don't you trust me?

Wednesdays are for white lies
Claiming I'm an culinary genius
When in fact I only eat takeout

Thursdays are for elaborated stories
About my adventures in extreme sports
Binge-watching Netflix
Why don't you trust me?

Fridays are the jackpot for nothing. 
"Yeah sure, I totally have plans for tonight!"
Still Binge-watching Netflix

Saturdays are for honing my skills
I'll brag about talents in juggling
Even if I can barely handle two tasks at once
Why don't you trust me?

And on Sunday I go to church
Becomes almost a holy man
People come from everywhere
To her my lies

Never Lies

Music & Lyrics: Lou Reed

Oh! Sweet Nuthin’

Testing on a song that we previously did but now with new inspiration from the bass


I'd rather sleep with a rattlesnake
Than to spend another minute with you
I'd rather sleep in a snowdrift
Than having to listen to yet another lie
I'd rather trust a rabid dog
Than to be let down by you again

You who would have been my best friend

Push me down
'cause you feel like a turd
Push me down
'cause you're a just piece of shit

I'd rather sleep with a rattlesnake
I'd rather sleep in a snowdrift
I'd rather trust a rabid dog

You who would have been my best friend

I am not your servant
I'm not your waiter
I am the one 
You shouldn't reduce

I'd rather sleep with a rattlesnake
I'd rather sleep in a snowdrift
I'd rather trust a rabid dog

I Am The One You Shouldn't Reduce

She is a woman in love 
Leather jacket crimson lips
She's the city's wild card
Strutting down the boulevard

The pulse of the streets
In a perfect sync
In the neon glow of the night
She is always right

She is a woman in love 
Know what to do 
Know where to be
She knows how
She is a woman in love

Through the alleys
She's the queen of the scene
With a flick of her hair 
She's a sight to be seen

Every heart beats to the rhythm of her steps
In this concrete jungle 
Everyone craving for more
She is the light of the night

She is a woman in love 
Know what to do 
Know where to be
She knows how
She is a woman in love

A rebel with a fire in her eyes
She's the one who defies
With the scent of rebellion in the air
She's a modern lover with a care

So let the city lights guide her way
As she dances through the night 
Come what may
She is a woman in love
Know what to do 
Know where to be
She know how
She is a woman in love

Every man is her playground
The thrill of the chase
She finds her place
She is a woman in love

She Is A Woman In Love

Sittin' here alone with a bottle of gin
Trying to forget where I've been
But every drop I take just brings me more wrong
Gotta find a way to where I belong

No more lonely nights babe
No more crying in the dark
Gonna find my way back
Back into your arms

Gonna hit that highway 
Ain't no mountain too high
Ain't no valley too deep
That is promise to keep

No more lonely nights babe
No more crying in the dark
Gonna find my way back
Back into your arms

I make a promise baby
It's a promise I'll keep
These are the last drops of Gin
That I ever will drink
I do what it takes

Last Drops Of Gin

I'm alive
                        
That's the only thing that matters to me

             
I don't care what you think about me
                             
I don't care 

If you think I'm a failure

                              
Nothing is lost yet

I can always lose again
                 
                           
You can say anything you want about me

I'm alive


1   2   3   4
5   6   7   8
                    
I fall down
But I'm always up before ten
              
The referee never counted to ten
                      
I'm always come back
              
I'm alive
  
I'm alive
                              
Nothing is lost yet

                  
I can always lose again

Alive

Some people chase
In a city that never sleeps
They're searching for a thrill
In the chaos and the noise

Some people live on the edge
With leather jackets
Riding motorcycles on the highway
They echoes and screams

Some people dance
In the alleys
They're the renegades
Breaking through the glass

Some people crave
Of a roaring guitar that shakes
There hearts hearts hearts are in a need of rock 'n' roll

Some people wants a lot of life
In the rhythm of the city
Some people find solace
In this chaos and this noise

Some people chase

I am looking for a job
Need a hell of a lot of cash
I don't want to work for crap pay
Just to make someone else rich

I am looking for so many jobs
But the one they want is not me
I am looking for so many jobs
But the ones they offer I don't want

I don't want to cower to a bully
I don't want to wear my body out
I don't want to come home tired
I just want to be able to be me

I am looking for so many jobs
But the one they want is not me
I am looking for so many jobs
But the ones they offer I don't want

I've been working since I was fifteen
I have come home in pain
Without money when half the month is left
I have worked hard all my life

I am looking for so many jobs
But the one they want is not me
I am looking for so many jobs
But the ones they offer I don't want
