I don't know what to think about the beginning but the last 2/3 are OK - I like the part: "but there you stare and you dare to ask...". I have to work on it again! i'm sure i can make something cool out of this. (Sorry for the guitar part at the beginning - it's baaad!)

Some Text Missing (New Song - First Take)
Watch out it's a rough. I like it anyway...
powered by ODEO
Lyrics:
I could guess what you tried
to tell me on that day
brand new day, brand new year
but i got lost again
‘cos some text missing, some text missing
some text missing and now you’re gone
just wanted to tell you
how much i need
to be with you on “o” seven
love you girl, love you
But some text missing, some text missing
some text missing and now you’re gone
caught in between
our cellphones get tired
too tired
to make it
fools we are – brain-damaged
throwing words in the air -
to rely on technology
when love is at stake
now some text missing, some text missing
some text missing
... and now you’re gone

Chelsea Morning
Working on my old D-open-tuned-jazz-guitar on a few tracks those days... and just discovered Fairport Convention's Chelsea Morning on Last.fm. I have to look at that:
CHELSEA MORNING (OK that's Joni Mitchell version - should not be that different!)
TUNING: D A D F# A D (capo 2nd fret) or E B E G# B E
D7sus2 B7+9 D7sus2 B7+9 D7sus2 D(2)
D7sus2 D(2) D7sus2
Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I heard
G Dmaj7 G6+9/D D
Was a song outside my window and the traffic wrote the words
G Dmaj7 G6+9/D Dsus4addE
It came ringing up like Christmas bells and rapping up like pipes and drums
D7sus4 Dsus4addB
Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
Dsus4/F Dsus4/E D
And we'll wear it till the night comes
D Dsus4addB D
Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I saw
Was the sun through yellow curtains and a rainbow on my wall
Red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson crystal bells to beckon
Oh, won't you stay? We'll put on the day
There's a sun show every second
D Dsus4addB D D Bm7(addAb)/D D
G Dmaj7 G6+9/D D
Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today
G Dmaj7
And the streets are paved with passers by
G6+9/D Dmaj7
And pigeons fly and papers lie
G G6+9/D
Waiting to blow away
D7sus2 B7+9 D7sus2 B7+9 D7sus2 D(2)
Woke up it was a Chelsea morning and the first thing that I knew
There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges too
And the light pured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses
Oh, won't you stay? we'll put on the day
And we'll talk in present tenses
D Dsus4/BD D Bm7(addAb)/D D
G Dmaj7 G6+9/D D
When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away
G Dmaj7
I will bring you incense owls at night
G6+9/D Dmaj7 G A
By candle light, by jewel light if only you will stay
Dmaj7 G6+9/D
Pretty baby won't you
D7sus2 D(2)
Wake up, it's a Chelsea morning

NFL
powered by ODEO
Lyrics:
Your place, my place
we kiss each other lips behind the wall
like kids not allowed to billboard passion
the curtains are shut - no one knows
i guess but i can't say
that i am not ready to let it free
i may be scared by
that hit-the-road-love
but i cannot help waiting for a...
Non-fettered-love
i look forward the days we walk hand in hand
Non-fettered-love
we will kiss anytime - no gossip all around
Your place, my place
Not our in any way
outdoor seams the right choice
but do we mind about the rain
scared to let it fly
hang around here then moving south
a free-as-a-bird love
but i cannot help waiting for a...
Non-fettered-love
i look forward the days we walk hand in hand
Non-fettered-love
we will kiss anytime - no gossip all around
Non-fettered-love
i look forward the days we walk hand in hand
Non-fettered-love
we will kiss anytime - no gossip all around

Voiceless
powered by ODEO
The first song i recorded this summer on garageband. Just one more sad love song…
The lyrics:
VOICELESS
i’m locked in i keep on reading the note you send me that other day i’m locked in looking for hints i can’t answer – in any way i’m down looking for the right words i’m down down i’ve never felt so dumb
but you’ve been gone for days i don’t know what to say you are back and i am i am voiceless
i’m down looking for the right words i’m down down i’ve never felt so dumb
but you’ve been gone for days i don’t know what to say you are back and i am i am voiceless
you’ve been gone for days i don’t know what to say you are back and i am i am voiceless
Guts Feeling
powered by ODEO
Second song recorded this summer (4 hours for chords, lyrics and recording). This song is just a joke – an answer to a girl who tagged ‘voiceless’: dark.
The lyrics (because my french accent makes the words hard to catch):
There i come & find you home you let me enter i find you by your own no much thoughts or words to share with me & there you tell straight “i am sorry”
i know nothing about my guts feeling so i am fine
some other days you would say let’s make love & let’s be friend by dawn hold me tight drink some wine & you to tell me straight “do you mind?”
i know nothing about my guts feeling so i am fine don’t even know where my heart is but i don’t mind
you have no doubt commitments are no good no time to waste yours & mine are that precious we don’t plan for you & i & then you tell me straight “am i right?”
i know nothing about my guts feeling but i don’t mind don’t even know where my heart is so i am fine
some other days you would tell let’s make love & let’s be friend by dawn hold me tight drink some wine & you to tell me straight “do you mind?”
