The last of my recent live recordings. I'll be back on posting some studio productions soon!
This one has proven a little marmite. I have gotten some lovely comments... but some find the words jar with the tune. I can understand that. The bridge section and chorus came first, and it was immediate that this was going to be an "anti" break-up song, so the juxaposition was intended from that point. However I'll be interested to hear what other writers think about this, whether people "get" it I suppose.
I like it, and it is great fun to play, but I'll use the feedback to judge and amend future writings in this style
I will not be your bitch, tonightDear Love, Dear Lie, and all that came between
Not you, nor I, a glossy magazine
This sleight of hand, is over compensating
For each demand, your plea is hesitating
This shit is never ending
I will not see it through
And now this overarching lack of ambition
Is eating me, So I must go
I will not be your bitch tonight
I will not be your bitch tonight
I will not be your bitch tonight
We play pretend, to ease this devastating,
Hope;
Hope will end and leave us ever waiting
We tempt romance for all its fallacy
To coax a chance from all this lunacy
This shit is never ending
Why can’t I see the signs?
And this is not what I had in mind when I said that I would
Like you to stay calm
I will not be your bitch tonight
I will not be your bitch tonight
I will not be your bitch tonight
InstrumentalDear love, goodbye, forgo the chivalry
Let bygones lie, retain some dignity
For each defence a lonely apparition
A call to arms, devoid of ammunition
This shit is never ending
So I bid you adieu
I will not be the one to answer
When you're calling out
For more, more, more, more
