I'm new here this week and am not sure if this is where I should post this - or whether there's a deadline or not. But I want to participate, so here's my couplet-cut at a Tiny Tune / Juxtaposition song - I don't have any music, just contrasting lyrics that I wrote this morning... I think with a more work, this could turn into a song.
FEELINGS - WHO DIED AND MADE THEM THE BOSS?
I
Feelings - who died and made them the boss?
I hope you know, man, cuz I’m feeling lost
One minute I’m sailing then I’m on the rocks
Feelings - who died and made them boss?
II
Grinning and happy, angry and sore
Feelings wash over like waves on the shore
I’m laughing, I’m crying, I’m either and or
And beginning to I feel I can’t take any more
III
Feelings are crazy, feelings are smart
They run thru my head, some touch my heart
I think I’m together and then it starts
Feelings, damn feelings, just pull me apart
IV
I feel delighted then moody and glum
These feelings pound on me like Ringo’s bass drum
Where do they go, why do they come?
I’d send them back home if I knew where they’re from
V
I’m juxtaposed and I don’t know why
Feelings roll over like clouds in the sky
They buzz round my brain like bees in a hive
What the hell, at least I feel I’m alive...
What the hell, at least I know I'm alive!
