One day I was playing with the expression "give me a break" I came up
with the text below which actually shows how easy it is to write a song
some times. The verse took about 10-15 minutes, the "chorus" a little
longer.
The tune is "Home on the range", but somewhere on the way I started
thinking of it as "Home and deranged", which led to the second verse and
unfinished chorus inspired by a movie classic I hope you have at least
heard about...
Oh give me a break! How long can it take to write some new words for a song? The tune is all done, the composer is gone and I've known all the rhymes all along! Right! Write me a song but make certain it isn't too long! I must know it by heart all the way from the start but I can't if the song is too long! My name is N. Bates I'm a master of fates All those who have crossed me lie dead But I've done no wrong I've been going along just obeying the voice in my head! Home, home and deranged! And the future is planned and arranged... |
