Dead Inside
Five years beside me, I only know your name
Five years later, could you even say the same?
She is convenient, just another name
It’s easier to live like this when there’s someone to blame

And I don’t know why you even stay
You look at me and say I’m running away

But I’m running the right way
At least, I’m running the right way

You say her name like it’s a curse
You didn’t just give up, you did something worse
Lying on beaches with your carbon copy friends
Lying in other beds, when will it end?

And I don’t know why you even stay
And I don’t say this with a smile on my face

But I’m running the right way
At least, I’m running the right way
At least, I’m running the right way

You’re dead inside and you are

New Music Monday – My Version of Morrissey’s “Interesting Drug”

Hell yeah…it’s New Music Monday! This week, it’s my version of Morrissey’s “Interesting Drug”:

Interesting Drug

There are some bad people on the rise
There are some bad people on the rise
They’re saving their own skins by
Ruining other people’s lives
Bad, bad people on the rise
Young married couple in debt
-Ever felt had?
Young married couple in debt
-Ever felt had?

On a government scheme
Designed to kill your dream
Oh mum, oh dad
Once poor, always poor
La la la la la
Interesting drug
The one that you took
Tell the truth – it really helped you
An interesting drug
The one that you took
God, it really really helped you
You wonder why we’re only half-ashamed?

“Because enough is too much!
And look around…
Can you blame us? Can you blame us? “

An American Trilogy

Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old things they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away
In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie

Cause Dixieland, that’s where I was born
Early lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on

So hush little baby
Don’t you cry
You know your daddy’s bound to die
But all my trials, lord will soon be over

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on

The Friday Replay – My Version of John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero”

This is my version of John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero” (Warning: Some lyrics NSFW):

If you can’t play the song or are on an iPhone or Android phone, click here.

Working Class Hero

As soon as you’re born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool
Till you’re so fucking crazy you can’t follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be

When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty-odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be

There’s room at the top they’re telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

Written by John Lennon
