[Wicked Deeds]

I've always enjoyed the playfulness of these lyrics that were written after a journey in a funeral car with long lost relatives. My sister told me that's she felt guilty meeting extended family after we lost touch for many years. I didn't feel the same way and quickly an idea for a song was born.

Of course, the idea for my forum name owes everything to this event and the song that it inspired.

Wicked Deeds

I don't know what's right.
I'm the thief who stole the riches in the night.
I have no remorse to match my thoughtlessness.

Sometimes, when I'm alone, my heart begins to thaw.
I'm working hard to strengthen my resolve.
May this weakness dissolve.

Wicked Deeds have always been my game.
Let ignorance and want define my fame.
Wicked thoughts, my conscience has derailed.
What would I do if goodness prevailed?

I've no time for shame.
There is comfort when I know that I'm to blame.
I have no remorse.
It's not my bag of course

Sometimes, when I'm alone, my heart begins to thaw.
I'm working hard to strengthen my resolve.
May this weakness dissolve.

Wicked Deeds have always been my game.
Let ignorance and want define my fame.
Wicked thoughts, my conscience has derailed.
What would I do if goodness prevailed?

Wicked Deeds. 👺

Yes, playfulness is really evident here.
I read it attentively three times   
A shade of introspection, and self acceptance.
It works for me.

Nice one Paul. Reminds me of Gowan's A Criminal Mind
Do people still say "It's not my bag" ? Who-da-thunk!
Would like to hear the song!

I don't think anyone uses the phrase "my bag" anymore :-) that's why. I like it.  I wrote a song with the word 'google' in it. I remember one chap didn't like that when he reviewed it but  I think it's enjoyable to use olld and new words and phrases "There's a concert tonight for the angels. You can google the time on the net".

This is fun and ornery. I like it. I can almost hear the evil laugh coming through.
