Hello all!
About 20 minutes ago, Arkwright won the August Lyrics of the Month competition with this, and - spookily on cue - here's some music for it.
The song used to be called
Hate to Love to Hate, but it has now morphed into
Love to Hate Me.
It was great fun adding my musical ravings to these cool lyrics. Everything you hear in the track is my voice - plus the entire contents of my VST FX folder, plus some clapping. My neighbours hate me now.
All comments welcome, as usual.
Here's the link:

Love to Hate Me Verse 1A tongue so sharp
You cut a smile,
But all the while
There's hatred in your eyes.
I'm seduced by the hint of truth
That you hide behind your lies.
Eyes cold as steel,
Lips hot as hell...
The tales they tell
Are bait to trap your prey -
They're convinced by the promises
That you swear you won't betray.
ChorusPlayed every card,
Tried every trick,
Worked hard to guard my heart
But you're just... too slick.
Release your grip
And let me be,
'Cos I hate to love you
And you love to hate me.
Verse 2An angel's face
With looks to kill,
You get a thrill
From freezing me with fear,
And you laugh and you lick your lips
When I shed a single tear.
From blood-red claws;
My wounds are deep.
I need to sleep
And rest my broken soul.
Don't know if I can sleep in peace
Till you return the love you stole.
Chorus BridgeWhen you wrap your hand around my heart,
It skips a beat
But then it's back to racing when you start
To squeeze it!
Chorus
