I have started an online songwriting group for young, amateur songwriters everywhere in the world. We share our songs and lyrics with each other, give feedback and advice, discuss aspects of songwriting, talk about our influences, and do other things. We don't have designated online meeting times; we just e-mail each other whenever' we can. If you would like to join or want more information, please e-mail me. My address is at the bottom of each page at this website.
Climb on board, we're going higher
We're gonna shoot right past that moon
We're gonna fly right over that ball of fire
I can feel it coming soon
Stars explode as you hold my hand
Fly forver, never want to land
Blind from the sun so hold me tight
I can feel it coming tonight
chouras:
Sounds strange and feels empty
When your floating out in space
Baby I felt the same way
'Till I saw your face
Hang on tight, it's getting faster
Traveling at the speed of light
I won't mind if we burn in disaster
As long as you're right by my side
The sun explodes, I feel the blast
In my head thsi trip will always last
I don't care if there's no light
As long as you're right here tonight
(chouras)
Sounds strange and feels empty
When your floating out in space
Baby I felt the same way
'Till I saw your face

Redemption never lived in me.
Nothing you do can salvage me.
The soul has been lasvirtated,
steeped in flaws, even cracks are jaded
My blood burns my heart.
I could never stop it before it would start.
Begging for a taste, a seel, a sense,
begging for the last taste of innocence.
better get wasted
numb and wasted
Deading my will.
Deading my soul.
Deading my feel.
I am sold.
Dulling my reason.
Dulling what's living.
Dulling my vision.
I am sold.
I break from within.
Bones break and so does skin.
Collapasing from within.
My will drowns with sin.
Better get wasted.
Numb and wasted.
Deading my will.
Deading my soul.
Deading my feel.
I am sold.
Dulling my reason.
Dulling what's living.
Dulling my vision.
I am sold.

I remember when we were young.
We never wanted to hurt anyone.
We used to be so carefree.
Nothing could come between you and me.
chouras:
But then somehow it all went wrong.
We indulged desire, but at what cost?
We abandoned all the things we felt so strong.
Everything changed once our innocence was lost.
Things were so simple back in those days.
Nothing complicated ever got in the way.
We held out beliefs and we held each other tight,
And no matter what happened everything turned out all right.
(chouras)
Years blew by and pushed us on ahead.
We should've grwon close, but we rushed it instead.
In one night of passion all that's pure was burned.
We lost our innocence and it will never return.

I was passing by your house today.
I saw his car in your driveway.
I didn't know just what to day.
I took a glance in your front window.
(Saw you) smiling at him with that glow.
The one that I used to know
chouras:
Well I'm aware we've been done for awhile,
But I just can't seem to live without your smile.
I know that I should just move on,
But I can't survive if you're gone.
As I drove by your house faded.
I started feeling all jealous and jaded.
I know it's something I should have anticipated.
Well you're his now and it hurts me so.
I can't explain why I just let you go.
Once you were mine, but that was so long ago.

I got a call one moring. It was her on the phone.
She said she needed to talk to me and I began to feel alone.
She started out by telling me just how much she cared,
But she had to get away 'cause she felt love wasn't there.
Deep inside I felt like crying, but I had to show I;m a man.
She said her final good-byes, and I held back best I can.
chouras:
She said she's sorry, but she's leaving 'cause she feels so insecure.
And deep inside me my heart was breaking 'cause I thought I was sure
That this would be the woman that I could love for evermore.
It's been a few years now since she let me go to fall.
I think about her all the time and I kind of wish she'd call.
I remember how she explained that I didn't tell her enough
About just how much I loved her and all that sentimental stuff.
Now I know that I'm to blame 'cause I didn't put up a fight.
I just let her walk away and now I'm lonley at night.
(chouras)
I sit and wonder every night "would she come back to me?"
I hear she's found a new man, and she seems so happy.
I realize I should let her go, but my heart won't walk away.
I still ahve that crazy dream that I'll win her back someday.

Socail status is getting on top of me
I feel an urge to break it all free
And reveal the desire I hold within me
But why do I doubt it will happen
Unseen laws and rules created
Keeps me within my own vicious circle
Every time I feel I'm indignated
I will never reach those heights
I'm way out of her league
I want to break the shell and fly free
It's not gonna happen I tell myself
I'm too low for her decree
Insignifigance among the higher level
Unseen boundries must not be tread on
The accidental touch that seemed so right
Was just one of many for her that night
One night there ws when I felt close
I though the bud might just open
I thought I'd got rid of all my foes
But the unseen love started to happen
Is it all gonna end now I ask myself
Dreaming of what could happen in times to come
No point in thinking about it, it will never be
But if dreams have a meaning then, will I be free?

Bring them up, Casted down
Blood filled cup, Long faced frown
Darkness, evil, You are a feeble
Feasted city, Have no pity
pre-chouras
I will waste your life
I will give you strife
Take the crispy rat
Eat it, EAT IT! It's fat
chouras:
Fuckin' Fuckin' Burning down the whores
Fuckin' Fuckin' Evil needs much more
Hell comes to store
He is nevermore
Tender fur, As it purrs
Crippling, Hear bells ring
Dying service, Dont' be nervous
His greatness, Satan's Dress
(pre-chouras)
(chouras)
Hell is risin
It is prison
Won't you die
Don't you cry
(pre-chouras)
(chouras twice)
Wasted, hell chant
Wasted, hell chant (repeat)
Hell...

Time to elevate
Like Ras Kass on Marinate
Only rapper to touch me, Ralize I have to segregate and regulate the Hicks who think I'm Secon Rate
Fuckin' Cakes
Label me Minority
What the fuck is the majority?
Sittin' pretty in yo' high class
white trash sororoty
I had some time
to open up the mind
And recognize I gotta stop creatin' beef
Wit people of the same kind
We've been denied
And defied
Time to unify
And fight these fuckin' white lies
Sociaty Epitomize the colour of my skin
The battle ain't no longer within
'cause bein' non-white means I'm a sin to the so called original man
Fuck it ain't even African
'Cause these Honkeys think it's them.
But I'm up in Toronto
And promote this shit that's multicultural
But only i fyou think so.
you ain't no immigrant
unless you can supplement
the government
Or improve the economic situation wit pure cash payment
Make sure it's quickly sent
Or they'll send yo' ass back to your old settlement.
For all my minorities...especially my chinks!
Fuck one love!

I was more than a desperate soul
looling for someone to take me home
You were more than a helping hand
you showed me how to live agian
And now it's not that i don't love you
it's not that I don't care
there's a whole big world surrounding me
and, well, I'm expected there
I'm sorry if I make you cry
honey, please understand
You hgave me my wings, darling
please let me fly...
High above the clouds
I wanna see it with my own eyes
Fly...
guided only by the moonlight
goonna see just what I find
You gave me my wings, darling
please let me fly
When my life was falling apart
you nourished and sheltered my wounded heart
You guided me down my path
and gave me my faith in myself back
And now it's not that I don't love you
it's not that I don't care
there's a whole big world surrounding me
and, well, I'm expected there
I'm sorry if I make you cry
honey please understand
You gave me my wings, darling
please let me fly
The day will come, I don't know when
that I'll be coming home again
Love survies when it's true
You'll see the love I have to give
but first I must learn how to live
so I can give my best to you
It's nto that I don't love you
no, it's not that I don't care
There's so much I must discover
and many things I want to share
It's not goodbye I'm saying
more like until we meet again
you gave me my wings, darling
please let me fly...
free from all the space between us
we will see it with our own eyes
You gave me my wings, darling
please let me fly
by Donna E. Fox, justin_sane@mindless.com

Sometimes Magic
Not mere ink prints on paper
To dissolve into the air like vapor
A strong combination of words, wisdom and rhyme
Can withstand the test of time
And when you hang it on the wall
It might even save you from a fall
For events in life are often tragic
Strength from words are sometimes magic

The Shrine
The old wrecked and rusty truck in the back pasture
Mostly consumed by tall weeds
Slowly degenerating with time
One hundred years in the future
Parts of it will still remain
But none will remember the name
Of the owner that was killed
That night of the big race
Way back in Nineteen sixty three
The right front tire blew out
And he swerved and hit a tree
Smashing the bones of his body and face
An eye sore to neighbors and sometimes they whine
But to the boys mother it's more like a shrine

"My Katharine Lee"
I remember the day,
when you were walkin my way
I don't know why i gave up
and why school had to interupt
There was a time and place
and i wasnt part of her race
and just in case
i can't see
my Katharine Lee
chorus
she used to wiggle her butt
when she walked
flip her blonde hair
when she talked
and every girl
always says
i wish i could be
like Katharine Lee
I used to say I love you
all she said was thats not true
i said i was old enough to decide
that you would be mine
she only refused to see why
When i kissed her lips
They felt so real
The eye shadow
which was a light blue teal
she was one of a kind
thats why she cryed
chorus
she and I were so alike
we both tried
to commit suicide
we both thought we were ugly
and talked each other out of believe it
And i still regrett i let her die
she jumped off a bridge in july
i will always love her her
saying your my angle
if i could change the past
i would let her be
chorus

TIMOTHY
Verse 1:
There s no doubt that I m a man
I know my fellas will understand
With so many bachelors out there
Why do the ladies pick the fellas that just don t care
While you think it s all about you
He s got at least three other girls
That s claiming they re his too
I don t know why
You gotta have a gun toting
Chain smoking
Boy like Timothy
When you could have a man like me
Chorus: Girl you need a man
Who cares about you
And there s no other man
Who ll love you like I do
Who will treat you
Better than I do
Nobody
Nobody, Baby
Verse 2:
So you say you need a ruffneck
Why choose some thug over respect
You need somebody who can love you down
Take you around and around, not afraid to turn you out baby
Girlie I will do you right
Be down for you each and every night
He s gotta go
Don t settle for that bed-hoppin
Store robbin
Boy like Timothy
When you need a man like me
Chorus:

I hope you don't mind but I have submitted two songs. Just to let you know my name is Paul-Michael and I am a singer/songwriter in a band here in England called Bowski.
The Lullaby
Verse One Did you ask to know the meaning?
Is it that we're only dreaming.
Why take time to make it wrong,
these hundred years won't last so long.
Morning's we would miss each day
when there was never much to say,
time fly's past the window face
enjoy it while you're in this place.
Chorus When you turn and sigh
I sing a lullaby
and even when we die
we'll be leaving our words for the world to hear.
When you're feeling shy
I'll sing a lullaby
when life's drifting by
we'll be leaving our words for the world to hear.
Verse Two Do we have to see what's there,
Staring at an empty chair.
A passer by could turn and smile
these hundred years could last a while.
How come fate could notice me?
Standing strong with empathy.
Only distace in the space,
enjoy it whilst your in this place.
Even when you don't belong,
memories would come along.
Heavens hear a requiem,
smiling as we play for them.
Chorus
and finally..
Mother's Day
Verse One Did you want a model family?
Did you wish it from the start?
Are your childrens I.Q.'s 2 point 4?
Ex-Husband, does he have a heart?
And even with your white trash life,
it's never you to blame.
Manipulation rolls the dice
and treat's life like a game.
So don't bother to laugh at me now
Annie light you smoke.
You'd hitch up your skirt and flag down,
any passing trucker bloke.
Chorus Happy Mother's day.
All you wanted was some flowers
the kids to do just what you say.
Happy Mother's day.
Kick back and watch t.v
'cause there's nothing left to say.
Verse Two Did you get your model family?
Was it everything you thought that it would be?
Are your two boys failing life in general?
You just lie in bed 'til half past three.
And even with your white trash life,
it's never you to blame.
Manipulation spins the wheel and
it's sending you insane.
So don't bother to look at me now,
Annie lay in bed.
Cry until you see a new day dawning
sort it out in your dying head (instead we get)
Chorus Happy Mother's day
All you wanted was some flowers
the kids to do just what you say.
Happy Mother's day
Kick back and watch the t.v.
'cause there's nothing left to
because there's nothing left to
because there's nothing left for you
because there's nothing left to
now there's nothing left to
becasuse there's nothing left for you
because there's nothing left to
'cause there's nothing left to say.

I'm Not Shedding Tears
When I first Heard your reply
I was torn in tow
I felt so bad
I'd never get to love you
But then I started thinking
'Bout all the bad things you done to me
When all I was trying to do is give you all of me
Those times you ingnored me
The times you turned away
I still remember all the bad things you had to say
But now I'm okay
(chorus)
I'm not shedding tears for you
I don't feel the same 'bout you
I'm not shedding tears no more
After all the times I dreamed of you
All the times my heart was tore
Without you I'll live through the years
And I'm not shedding tears
So you come running back to me
Saying you made a mistake
But I don't want you
Can't you see that it's too late
Because
(chorus)
(bridge)
Oh, a few times I cried
I wanted to die »
But now I'm doing alright
I hear you want me
But I don't want you
So your just gonna have to think of me tonight
(chorus)
(fade out)
I'm not shedding tears for you
I don't want you
I don't need you
No matter what
I won't have you

2 late
You made me see the light
You made my day so bright
You taught me not to fight
But now you're gone
I knew that you're the one
Coz that's where I belong
And that's why I sang this song
It's all for you
But it's too late
Everything is black
Coz it's too late
I really want you back
And it's too late
My love is what you lack
It's too late, too late
Too late to say goodbye!
My tears run down my eyes
Everyday I hear your cries
Your soul's up on the skies
Just like the sun
Baby oh why oh why
Did you leave me here and die
You left me here I cry
And I can't hold on.
But it's too late
Now that you are dead
It's too late
I really can't forget
Coz It's too late
Everything that you said
It's too late, too late
Too late to say goodbye!

"SHE"
She's got this way of searching your soul
with her eyes.
And it always kinda freaked me, but I guess that was the point.
She said, I gotta know.
His heart lies.
Chorus
She said
if I exist, am I real,
and if I'm real, will I have to feel
this all the time.
If he hadn't left,
would we still be together,
living in a trailer park of broken down forevers
and shattered dreams.
And if I'd had the guts,
would he be by my side.
If I'd let him leave,
would've said goodbye.
Chorus
I don't think I know,
I don't really care,
I'm feeling for something,
but nothings there.

Feelings
I can't stop...
This feeling.
It's got me reeling.
I got be dealing...
with these feelings.
My own being
can be seeing
or leaving...
this world behind.
Suicide.
Blow my mind.
I got the time.
I've changed my mind.
No suicide...
for me.
Can't you see?
I gotta be...
me.

"maybe someday"
i was thinking 'bout, what she said to me on thursday
and how i'm gonna have to be on monday
cause i dont want to set myself up for a fall
and there's lots of other pretty girls after all
and i'm pretty sure, that one, will fall for me someday
when you told me 'bout, what happened to you on wednesday
you caught me off guard and i really wasn't sure what to say
now i dont want you to feel sorry for me
somehow things like this come to be
so maybe, we'll meet again, some day
oh help me now i think i'm fallin'

Tribute to a man everyone knows.
Robert a friend in passing,
a strong and intelligent man,
Robert you left us so suddenly,
We didn't get a chance to say goodbye,
Your picture I hold. Your memory will never fade.
You life was not a loss, for you touched so many peoples lives.
Dignified and dedicated to your love ones, you were a real man.
Honest with me to the end, indeed in Robert I had a good friend.
Exposed to life's harshness, unexpectedly snatched from our lives,
Confused and lonely. but true to his life.
He spoke with a voice that made you agree
His opinion was right, and good enough fo me.
A death unbecoming such a sweet and gracious friend,
loving loyal and a remarkable man. A hand he would lend.
I am one of many lucky enough to call him my friend,
We shall meet again Robert this is not the end.
respectfully dedicated to a good friend Robert John Pick who died suddenly
Tuesday July 25, 2000 at the young age of 53 leaving a wife and four
children and one grandson. And many many friends
aka SHAGGYDOG.
