My writing has now become split into three distinct categories and it's really starting to frustrate me because, frankly, it guarantees that at least one chunk of them won't be used (I don't really want one band playing two radically different styles). I'm either writing my new style of Punk/DnB lyrics (of which I have posted none so far) which is great fun and a real challenge, my (often more politically charged) heavier songs that are, in places, metal-inspired or a more upbeat New-wave, Fratellis/Costello inspired style.
I love all three and am enjoying the challenges associated with each but I'm finding I have to really choose which I want to be playing and I have no idea which way to go...
This falls into the third category (the more upbeat sort).
Now I'm not quite sure about this one and feel I've done a poorer job than usual of avoiding cliches and bad writing and even then it took me a good 5 tries to get the second verse done...
Seeing as Schav found it great to have a 'sounds like' song for one of my other pieces, I decided to do the same here

Without any further ado:
Babydoll
I've been left in a pool of woe before
A thousand reasons to throw love out the door
But I find myself wanting more
I've had times when I've dragged along the floor
Feet too tired to move me forward
Here I find myself reassured
And I realise
It isn't
The season
For glorious love like fairytales
But I think
That's not
A reason
To deny me what I crave
(Chorus)
Dear universe I want a new babydoll
Is that too much to ask?
I've been trying but they never want me back
And nothing
Can make me think
I'm undeserving
My heart's on the brink
But I'm not falling apart
I just really miss falling in love
I've learned how to be hard as stone
In hard times I know I've grown
But who really wants to be alone?
Break me free from the drone
Of silence waiting for the phone
Hung up on someone unknown
And I realise
It isn't
The season
For glorious love like fairytales
But I think
That's not
A reason
To deny me what I crave
I've lived by the light of the straggler's moon for too long
Now I think it's time to pick myself up and try
(Chorus)
She won't be dancing anymore
No her feet have got too sore
There she will be
Waiting for me
But she doesn't know it yet
She's the one I deserve to get
And I can put my sighs to bed for good
(Chorus)
Dear universe I want a new babydoll
Is that too much to ask?
I've been trying but they never want me back
And nothing
Can make me think
I'm undeserving
My heart's on the brink
I'm ready to fall
All the way
Head over heels
Down the stairs
Over cliffs through the air
(x3)
In love
