Post by: Morefrog Jones on February 09, 2016, 01:57:08 PM
"Glad That You've gone" - Rough Live Demo


 
Managed to get some chords and a tune together for the lyrics i posted last week in the lyrics section (originally Now that you've gone). Now Called "Glad That You've Gone"

Decided to brave a rough one take live Demo to remind me of the moment and will try a polish it up a bit over the next few weeks - theres a few timing issues with lyrics to work on. need to sing it a few more times to get to know it better I think.

Comments welcome:

Lyrics:
I wish I'd heard the voice of reason.
Prevention not the cure for all my grieving.
A love at no cost? - No poets cried.
Shame I couldn't read the warning signs.

I'm Glad that you've gone - Im born again.
Glad that you've gone - The world's lifted from my shoulders.
And the end when it came wasn't a moment too soon.

Now i see you were nothing to write home about.
I was so stupid - could not work it out.
At the time thought what was the harm.
Now i cant believe i fell for your limited charms.

I'm Glad that you've gone - Im born again.
Glad that you've gone - The world's lifted from my shoulders.
And the end when it came wasn't a moment too soon.

I went to pieces all the times you walked away.
Made a fool of myself every time I begged you to stay.
Did fate stage manage the whole damn thing.
Or was it you pulling all the strings.

Glad that you've gone
Glad that you've gone
Glad that you've gone
Glad that you've gone

Glad that you've gone - Im born again.
Glad that you've gone - The world's lifted from my shoulders.
And the end when it came wasn't a moment too soon.

i'm a sucker for interesting lyrics and new ways of expressing things...I love the lines:

Did fate stage manage the whole damn thing.
Or was it you pulling all the strings.

Fantastic! :)
