Two songs I am working on (well, lyrics anyway). I have an initial progression for each but not even a rough recording ready yet.
Help me on the lyrics please!
First: Hermione - Fledgling lyric for an outline song put together last night. All suggestions welcome. I am thinking of changing musically in the third verse, as I don't see a natural bridge yet.
It hit her as she reached the door
Some half-remembered long before
A disinfected corridor
Tiles of black and white
Her shiny shoes, the iron bed
The patient hanging by a thread
Something that the old man said
Maybe he was right
Hermione is ready to go home
For years her oft-repeated prayers,
That nightgown that she always wears,
The double bed she never shares,
Are rituals that she keeps.
Nothing ever unforeseen
The pillow’s soft, the sheets are clean
She keeps the usual routine
Escapes it as she sleeps
Hermione is ready to go home
The days are long. The nights are tough.
Her effort’s never good enough
She always sweats the little stuff
And dreams of being free
And lovers so long overdue
Who’ll do the things that lovers do
And know the things she’s going through
And know Hermione
Hermione is ready to go home
Hermione is ready to go home
Second: Something Special - Short, 60s pop-style, bluesy number.
I used to think that we had something special
But honey, now I know the score
I used to think that we had something going
Nowadays I’m not so sure
Yeah, I used to think that we had something special
But I don’t think that no more
You seem to think that you’re something special
You don’t seem that much to me
You seem to think your sly games are clever
I’m inclined to disagree
You seem to think that every man should want you
Like it was your destiny
<< Break >>
You seem to think you’re all kinds of pretty
Well, I’ll give you that - you’re sweet
You seem to think you’re oh-so-much better
Than every other girl I meet
Well, since we’re talking, since we’re being honest
Lots of them have got you beat
I used to think that we had something special
But honey, now I know the score
I used to think that we had something going
Nowadays I’m not so sure
I used to think that you were something special
But I don’t think that no more
No, I don’t think that no more
I don’t think that no more
Thanks for any input
