Nice song...there are some great lines in there too...particularly liked the one about everyday being a gift...that's why it's called the present...that's a killer!

Well done on getting out there and doing it...you did great!

Thank you, this was totally unexpected I posted it a few months ago, thanks again for checking it out. I'm going to record a studio version sometime this year.

Cheers Paul, i'm getting more comfortable playing live, it's been a really progressive year for me.

Hi guys, here's the song updated and with better vocals, I think i'm nailing it now if you'd like a listen. I've also included a cover of Love Inc's 'Superstar' at then mashed in.
I'd love to hear what you think and here are the lyrics, I forgot to include them in the original post.

You walk around
You leave a trail of broken hearts
Looks like love has finally torn
you apart
A brand new coat of paint and
Is that a new dress?
Me i'm just the same
Sambas & Cigarettes

Chorus
Everyday's a gift that's why they call it the present
Oh did I mention i've been learning my lessons
From the greatest teacher this world has ever seen
When I think about you now it's few and far between

Come and say hello
Ask me how's my mum
Oh go on tell me
All the things
You've seen and done
Your hair and smile
Are just the same
The only thing that's changed
Is your last name

Bit after the second chorus:
And it would be nice to think of what might have been
We could have been the greatest team this world had seen
