Female rock song worthy of a listen. Would suit Elkie Brookes, Bonnie Tyler.

This is a song that I had lurking around the corners of my brain for sometime before I actually recorded it. It has an 80's feel to it.

THE WAY LIFE’S MEAN’T TO BE


JUST ANOTHER LONG AND WEARY DAY
GONNA SHAKE MY COAT
GONNA PUT MY GHOSTS TO LAY
THEN YOU WENT AND CAME INTO MY LIFE
GONNA FEED MY FLAME
GONNA EASE MY TOIL AND STRIFE

CHORUS

NOW ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AGAIN
MY WHOLE WIDE WORLD IS IN A SPIN
IS THIS JUST THE WAY LIFE’S MEAN’T TO BE
I’M LOST THEN FOUND BUT DEEP WITHIN
FOREVER TURNIN’ FOREVER SPININ’
GUESS IT’S JUST THE WAY LIFE’S MEAN’T TO BE

THAT WAS ONLY JUST ONE YEAR AGO
NOW YOU TURN TO ME
AND THAT LOOK I’VE LEARNT TO KNOW
GUESS THAT I AM MEAN’T FOR SOLITARY
GONNA STEAL MORE THUNDER
GONNA BEAT MY WINGS
MY WHOLE WORLD’S READY TO BLOW
WATCHING YOU GO NOW

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK


GUESS IT’S JUST THE WAY LIFE’S MEANT TO BE
