Hi!
Thanks for sharing!
One day, in the subway, someone talked in the phone and said something that got stuck on my mind. I used that line
BUT, what if you have a story in your mind, can you manage to get it out or will it take its own way?
Deep, deep question, but I am really curious

Hi! Got a question to you all.
When I write lyrics, they just come to me. Usually I have no idea what to write about, I just pick up pen and paper – and there it is! Sometimes the result amazes me when I read the finished story.
Do you usually have at least a clue about the story or are you like me and just get the result?
Curious to hear YOUR experience!

WING OF A BAT, NEWT IN TOWN
Vs 1
E F# E
I saw this dude at half past noon
d#c#f
Was hairy and scraggly, greasy and maroon
aeb
An awkward crazed loony tune
vs 2
Its attire it wore
Was from a shanty town
Six, six, six tattooed all around
(pre chorus)
Who are you?! I asked in my gown
It raised its arms then flung em down
(chorus)
Like the wing of a bat
Flap flap flap
I'm newt in town
And I need to take a crap
vs 3
I offered him some deodorant
It asked how bout suave
No Thanks it said, I think I'll pass
As he released what smelled like a putrid gas
vs 4
Then it took a sip of a cape cod
Guzzled it down like it wasn't hard
Threw it away then began to nod
(pre chorus)
After the odor had settle down, I blurted out "You Bozo the Clown!"
Then it raised it's arms then flung em down
(chorus)
Like the wing of bat
Flap, flap, flap
I'm newt in town
And I need to take a crap
(chorus)
Again it raised it's arms
Then flung em down
And said just for that
It took a crap
Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap
(chorus)
Then I raised my arms too, in a fling
Then ran so fast
Zing, zing, zing
Raising my arms flinging em down
Moving fast to get out of town
Like a wing of a bat
Flap, flap, flap
(bridge)
E-COLI!!! Now I got to take A CRAP!
(outro)
Raising my arms fling'n em down
Moving fast to get out of town
Like a wing of a bat
Flap, flap, flap
Hi!
Sorry for the late reply! I really enjoyed reading your lyrics! They seems a bit different to me, with that fun and flirting undertone.
One particular part that cought my mind was:
I offered him some deodorant
It asked how bout suave
No Thanks it said, I think I'll pass
As he released what smelled like a putrid gas
Overall, I think you used the words in a cleaver and fun way to create these lyrics. Nicely done!
And to all of you: it's been amazing to see how different we all write with the same words. Made me think of creating an EP together, named : Wing of a bat...

I'm taking it that the wing of a bat and the eye of a newt might be a potion that Cleopatra drank which the Wizard had something to do with.
Interesting! To me some of the lines and a few words added here in there I think would make the lyrics more rhythmical. Other than that, it's anamazital, Mary.
Hi!
Thanks for the feedback. I really liked your suggestions and will probably make some changes to it! I only struggle with the rhyming. Just until recently my lyrics were rhyming, now I kind of left that behind and I don't know why, it just happened. Good or bad? I think it is a matter of personal preferences. But I will definitely consider your sugg for rhyming in this one. Thanks again!

Great! Now I can easily write songs in any genre, haha

Hi James!
Thanks for the feedback.
The Nefertiti/Cleopatra thing were a simple mistake, it should say Cleopatra throughout the lyrics.
I think you are right about switching verse 1 and 2. My initial thought was that she were outside at first and then reluctantly got down into the catacombs.
The 30 years is the years she got to live, then the poisoned wine took her life.
"It" reffers to the hand.
Most of my lyrics are leaving something behind to think about and I do that intentionally. To me that creates a bit of mystery that I like to bring into the story
But at the same time, the readers/listeners must have some kind of clue and I try to balance on a fine line here.I appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind!

Hi!
Nice write! The fact that you added another verse took the story to a higher level and made it come together nicely.
I think you used the different elements in a smart way throughout the yrics. The only thing that cought my eye (and now I'm being picky...) was the "skirt". I think I would have tried to incorporate something like a "blood stained shirt" or something like that.
Good job!

The wizard’s hand
Verse 1
In the catacombs of magic, no light were found
Supposed to die, right at that moment
Drinking her poisoned wine
Gave her just 30 years
Chorus
Black skies were closing in
At night it came crawling
In the pyramids of Cairo
Where Cleopatra took her last breath
That’s where you’ll find the hand
The hand of the immortal wizard
Verse 2
The Jaguar by her side, could not help
Guards fell like bricks without knowing
Protection did fail
He took her life that day
Chorus
Black skies were closing in
At night it came crawling
In the pyramids of Cairo
Where Cleopatra took her last breath
That’s where you’ll find the hand
The hand of the immortal wizard
Verse 3
The dress she wore, designed to protect
With magic so strong, it made her fall
A wizard too powerful
She had no chance
Chorus
Black skies were closing in
At night it came crawling
In the pyramids of Cairo
Where Cleopatra took her last breath
That’s where you’ll find the hand
The hand of the immortal wizard
Outro
The wizard’s hand
That poured the wine
Which hides in the dark
Are still alive

Hi all!
Thanks for sharing!
White Soul Black Heart: Pink Floyd - Wish you Were Here. Dig that one too!
Green Bat: I had to "Spotify" Starcastle. Nice music!

That alright Mary....at least you worked your "mom" into the story.
I think you're safe....I ran a Youtube search for "leather jacket, chicken bones, death metal" , but came up empty
Thanks for checking! Would have been quite embarrassing if you found anything with a young version of me in that type of clothing
-
Hmm, I don't know if I dare answer this question...
For me it was a guy that pimped his leather jacket with bones from a chicken. He was so cool to me I just had to listen to the music he did. Death metal by the age of 15. My mom loved it! Not.

The Rolling Stone Magazine rates Sargent Pepper as best ever album cover.
This one is number 4. The original had a real zipper on the jeans and real cotton on the underwear if the fly was left open:
Ha,ha, I'm glad I got to see the one with fly closed then

Hi! There's a lot of cool album cover arts out there. Which one would you send to the cover arts "hall of fame"?
My vote goes to "No rest for the wicked", Ozzy Osbourn. I must confess...I had plenty of others on my mind
