Last night, I finally managed to get a decent accompaniment to a song I’ve been working on. It doesn’t usually take me this long to write a song, but I recently discovered Tim Minchin, who’s been doing the same sort of thing as me, but better, and on the piano. Initially I was dismayed, but now I’ve chosen to up my game, finish all my half-written songs, and get them online.
I need to tighten up the lyrics a bit, but here they are in their current(ish) form. As I’m used to singing live, I tend to mix the lyrics up a bit and giggle occasionally. Please forgive the lo-fi recording, it was done at 11pm last night, and I have a bit of a cold. Hopefully, you’ll get the idea.
It’s not stalking, it’s not stalking
Yeah I’m just really interested
When you see me in the corner of your eye
Well I just happen to live nearby
Why would you think I’m trying to spy?
I am innocent, am I
But all evidence aside –
That’d be creepyIt’s not stalking, it’s not stalking
I just happen to be everywhere you go
Did you like my little painting
Showing u-us together?
In the painting you are singing “We’ll be happy forever”
But that’s not how I really think of you –
That’d be creepyIt’s not stalking, it’s not stalking
You just fascinate me in every single way
No, that wasn’t me on ebay buying a lock of your hair
This is just a locket that I own that matches everything you wear
If I had access to a sample of your DNA –
That’d be creepyThat’d be creepy
Please let me know if you have any ideas for more verses!
Much love,
Carmen x
