Songs of yesteryear
In the folly of my youth, I once had a "band" with my sister and our friends Kyle and Nicole. I was about 13 and the rest of them were about 2 years younger than me, and we didn't have any instruments, and our influences were Good Charlotte, Evanescence, and the All American Rejects. In this, my last day of Phoenix, I have stumbled on a bunch of songs that we wrote and saved on the computer. Here, for the first time ever (!!) are collected the completed works.
PS the band was called Cosmic Sausages.
Going Down (written by me, sung almost to the tune of I've Just Seen A Face)
You've inspired me to write a song
About what I do all day long
When I get home in misery I just
Don't
Want to be me
Give me a shield and sword and wings and I will fly
Away…but not today
Don't get me wrong
I am the sword and shield and bow
Listen to this song
I am still the girl who holds this microphone
Keep beating me down
I am the reincarnation of ev'ry soul
Just wait
Until I hit the ground…yeah
Creeping and crawling slowly stalling
As my thoughts pop out of my
Toaster oh
Just keep on pestering and messing with my
Personality
just give me hot days lemonade and friends and I will bake
all day
refrain
I hold a ring
Little Halfling
I am now singing
Please don't jump me
We are the weirdest of the
21st century…
refrain x2
just wait
until I hit the ground
I'm going down now
I Can't Act (written by Kristin and copied verbatim from Word)
Rock is dead it's gone it's over
Ruined by your preppy posers
Take the music smash it down
Beat the rhythem on the ground
Burn the lyrics everyone knows
Throw away your stupid old clothes
Feel the music in your heart
Tearing you apart
Refrain:
I can finally hear
I can finally see
Through the beuty masks of people who are pushing me
I can finally feel
I can finally say
You can do whatever
I'll end up ok
I don't need dramatic makeup
I don't need caffeine to wake up
I can love who I desire
I can run and never tire
Shadows of your shallow dreaming
Please repeat what I am screaming
Take your dwelling on the past
Shove it up your collective…(Guitar riff)
Refrain
Rock is dead but maybe not yet
In the lyrics of this duet
We're not here to say it's true
We're here in our thoughts of you
Rebel Punk or Goth that's hiding
Here is your official tiding
Feel the music in your heart
Tearing you apart
Refrain
Kyle does a guitar solo
Tearing you apart
No Doubt (written by me, the rap is by Kyle)
Ther's no doubt
That I never wanna see
Never wanna do or never wanna be
Like you
Whoopdydo
I don't care about you
Even if you are becoming president
We are talking bout me
Let's see
If we weren't talking bout me
Then what would be
Of this world
No doubt
No one wants to listen to you
And they don't care what you do
Hahahaha…
Sing
Don't care never will never will and you
Can't grasp how you don't mean anything
No doubt never speak never speak and you
Don't grasp how we aren't listening
Guitar
Feel this and don't tap on the glass
Nevermind cuz it's all in your hear
Answers to questions no one asked
This is real life get out of bed
You're zombies following orders w/ glee
1234
no doubt I never wanna be
like you
I don't care what you do to me
You cheat at ev'ry game you play
No one asked to hear anymore
Take a break from your lame philosophy
You know we've heard it before
Guitar
Refrain
No music from here on
Feel this and don't tap on the glass
Nevermind cuz it's all in your hear
Answers to questions no one asked
This is real life get out of bed
Set Me On Fire (by me oh god look at that chat talk)
Bad day/ lost way
Broken dreams/ falling things
Staircase/ into space
Falling/ faster than
u can catch me
I'm still waiting
For u
I'm waiting for u
To look @ me
I'm waiting for u
To take me higher
I'm waiting
Waiting for u
To set me on fire
Guitar
Set me on fire
Inked hands/ rock band
Love u/ still true
Staircase/ into space
Falling/ faster than
U can catch me
I'm still waiting
for u
Refrain
Ur right there
If I wanted to
I could touch u
If I could
Make u smile
I'd be alright
So if u
Could laugh then
Maybe we
Could be more than friends…yeah
Here are a couple of comments...
First off I am going to kill younger me so hard. Also, I'm mystified by the reoccurring "ev'ry"...why did it need to be made into a weird contraction? Also there are some pictures that I will put up later, they are fantastic and by fantastic I mean infantile. I made most of them in the first summer I had Paintshop Pro 7 and my learning curve is embarrassingly non-curvy.
Hey
Everyday
It feels like i am in a play
oh
here we go
i'll just do the things
like everybody says so
cuz i can't act
when ur standing next to me
i can hardly breathe
& when ur near
i'm just happy that ur here
the script keeps getting longer
the lines are complicated
i guess i'll just have to play it cool
i'll
think for a while
& then i'll walk the xtra mile
when
now & then
i fall u'll put me back up on my feet again
refrain
but sometimes i wonder
what life would be like
u pulled me rite under
the joy...of life
refrain quiet
refrain loud
i guess i'll just have to play it cool...
