Happy New Year all. Well I did manage to make a bit of time myself between Christmas and New Year to write this one, especially inspired by one or two festive spats going on between couples in our social and family circle. All top entertainment of course, and great ammunition for songwriting!
So...a song about the fine line between love and hate and everything in between! From my Quirky Workshop...
https://soundcloud.com/michael-a-duffy/lopsided-loveLyrics:Lopsided LoveWe blank each other out all week
Leave post-it notes, but never speak
It's OK
It's our way
You make me a mug of tea
A silent truce to say sorry
It's OK
I won the day
The fine line between love and hate
Don't think is very straight
Oh wobbly
That’s what it is
You say you think I love to hate
Why must you overstate?
Oh probably
You’re just in a tizz
It is quite extraordinary
Contrary and strange
Oh very
Oh la la la
Ooh-wah it's our
Lopsided love
…Lopsided loveThe washing machine shrunk my clothes
Your little joke, well I suppose
This is love
Quite unique
Your favourite novel superglued
Its pages stuck, you called me rude
We dance then
Cheek to cheek
The dishes hurled across the room
Just mean your passion grows
Oh please
Improve your aim
Down the sink goes your perfume
Now my love really shows
Oh please
Don't stop this game
RPT CHORUS She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me
If apathetically
‘Cos she deserted me, unsympathetically
Now suddenly
Mystified, I am
The properties of love and hate
So hard to isolate
Oh no
A mystery
Only pain can educate
You in the shades of love and hate
Oh no
You're then history
It was quite extraordinary
Contrary and strange
Oh very
Oh la la la
Ooh-wah, our lost
Lopsided love
…Lopsided love
