"i got a Job" -demo of song, need ideas




LINK REMOVED





you can download a 320kbps mp3 (best) or stream. choose hi fi stream, and select 'external player' on the media screen.


this is a working demo of a tune i'm in the middle of.

all tracks will be re-recorded, so this is just a sketch.

LYRICS:
i've got the 1st lyric done, and the chorus, but i need a 2nd lyric. i just copied the 1st lyric to the 2nd spot, with the bridge.


the idea is, somebody's got a job, that they're glad to have, but they're frustrated by being held down by it. and not making any money at it.
so, they party at the end of the day, with their buddies 'who care'.

then the final chorus is "That's how the wild west was won"

so i need a lyrical motif, that ties the first verse (sentiment) with something that evokes the wild wild west in the 2nd verse...

wanna take a stab at it?
(no, it's not autobiographical!) :D


"i got a Job"

(verse)
I got a job, it's what i got.
it ain't much. it's not alot.
I gotta boss, that feeds me a dime.
i'm taking my time, waiting to shine.

(bridge)
Losing it all for a day,
they're taking it, all of my pay
Choosing some poison to share,
with all of my buddies who care.

(verse 2, right now it's just a repeat of 1)
(bridge, repeat of 1, this will be reused again for 2)

(chorus)
that's how, the wild west was won
that's how, the wild west was won
that's how, the wild west was won
that's how........

outro with solo

ok, well i guess i yank this one. :confused:




i'll post another version of it, see if that one does any better than this one!
 
I tried but there was no link....

I have a room, it's all I've got.
It's just a bed, a chair & what not.
I've gotta guitar, not much but its mine.
I'm working to live, I'm waiting to shine.

Losing it all while making my way,
They're not taking my nights, just taxing my day
Making some noise, make it to share,
With my friends and anyone else who'll dare.

I'm taking my time in taking the west.
It's just a guitar, but it's what i do best.
I've got this guitar, not much but its fun.
I'm working the west 'til the wild west is won.
 
damn, that's a good lyric ray!!
LOL

too bad i didn't see this earlier...

heheh


i finished it up, and came up with a lyric idea that was more to the truth...
the song isn't about me, it's about someone else, so i had to write it from their perspective...
listen to the new verson i posted, and see what you think...

and thanks for checking it out and coming up with that killer lyric
