Sorry for being the bad guy and spamming my content on here at the moment ;) So as always no grudges held, but appreciated if anyone fancies giving a hand.

Had a lot of inception but no finesse, here's what I think will be my next - just a simple recording on my phone for now.

Guitar's a bit shaky, but nothing a bit of practice wont fix I hope.

Thanks to Vicki for helping me get this far.

I really like the verses, but am unsure on the chorus now having put some music to it. Not sure if it's the instrumental or the words, any thoughts?

Any any idea on extra instruments? Though I only really have my electric and keyboard apart from the guitar which is already down.

EDIT: Keep forgetting to add the link... https://soundcloud.com/namelessmc/always-the-bad-guy-concept-2


Intro
I'm always the bad guy, but I don't really mean it,
I'm always the bad guy, at least that's how they see it.
I terrorize without realising, 'cos that's just who I am.
I cynicise and try to poison, every woman an' every man.

V1
I'll pulverize all your joys, And I don't give a damn!
I'll lock your eyes whilst telling lies, I'm just that kind of man!
I don't pay enough attention, I do not have the will.
There may be more to mention, I don't like to spill

Chorus
I'm not happy, you're not happy
We're not happy, no-one's happy,
I'm not happy, you're not happy
We're not happy, no-one's happy,
I get all the blame.

V2
I like to think I'm considerate, but I guess that must be lies.
I'm trying to keep learning, but my actions never wize.
I like to think I'm thoughtful, but all those thoughts are sinister.
I'm trying to keep a handle, but this may be the finisher.

Chorus

Bridge
Falling to pieces...
The framework around us;
Used to stand strong like steel,
Now blows away like powder.

Chorus

Outro
It really makes me think,
Can we really sustain?
When I'm so full of evil,
and causing all this pain?

This is kind of appealing in an odd sort of way. The chant sound sorta lulls me but the bouncy beat keeps me alert.

One line bothers me a little: "Can we really sustain?" You sing it like this: "can WE realLY susTAIN" which sounds awkward. I'm picky about things like this and suggest trying to find a way to do it more like this: "can we REALly susTAIN".

There may be another spot or two that's slightly rough, but I just want to finish by pointing out my favorite part, which is,
[i]But it's not so easy when you wear a young man's clothes
Temptation has a way of walking that you just can't resist
[/i]

Blech! Sorry about that...there was something in my clipboard from a different song. <<sigh>> The lines I meant to report as my favorites are:
I'm always the bad guy, but I don't really mean it,
and
I like to think I'm considerate, but I guess that must be lies.

I think the wording is quite clever. To me they indicate a person who doubts his own motives. :)
