This needs some imagination I`m afraid.
The spinning wheel of the Alien Genre Challenge pointed its crusty finger at me for Motown or Mod.
I attempted to summon up the spirits of the legendary great Motown songwriters in the hope of inspiration. Unfortunately they weren`t in so I wrote this instead.
In an amazing act of monumental stupidity I decided to write a song for a Motown girl group. Only when I started recording did I realise I maybe sound nothing like Diana Ross.
This is the first time I`ve written a song from a womans perspective which can`t be a bad thing & I`ve started shaving my armpits.
Thank you to
@pompeyjazz for the Alien Challenge idea and thanks to the other challengers for giving me a panic attack & forced me to write something when I heard their accomplished songs. This is far from accomplished. Apologees for all the bum notes & bad playing. On the slim chance there are any proper musicians who have the time or inclination to play please let me know. One month to go. And if anyones got the Supremes telephone numbers please..please..
Anyway thanks for listening (if you do).
With my Angels on the StreetI may be broke but I`m not broken
My spirits free & it has spoken.
I hoped that you`d grow some “cojones” but you took my heart & left me homeless.
Papas got a brand new handbag & mamas got a brand new toy while I`m hanging with my angels in the snow.
I`m making angels in the snow cos we`ve got nowhere to go.
I don`t know if the north wind blows in Los Angeles but it sure as hell does here.
Be a father not a cheat.
Take the chance & you could be.
Find me on the street..I´ll be the one that’s screaming.
Hope finds a way of being lied to.
Cheap lays & layabouts entice you.
You`re galavanting out there somewhere.
I`m up late reading books on childcare.
Papas got a brand new handbag & mamas got a brand new boy while I`m waiting with my angels on the street.
I`ve got my angels all around.
Somehow lost but never found.
I don`t know if the north wind blows in Los Angeles but it sure as hell does here.
Be a father not a cheat.
Take the chance & you could be.
Find me on the street..I´ll be the one that’s screaming.
Why are we wasting our young lives when these should really be the best days of our lifetime?
I`m with my angels on the street praying you`ll come back to me.
I don`t know if the north wind blows in Los Angeles but it sure as hell does here.
I´m a fool I`m not a clown & you`re dragging me down.
I don`t know if the north wind blows in Los Angeles but it sure as hell does here !!
