Love n' Lust (Trail of broken hearts)
Love - that many splendid thang. Subject of gazillions of songs, lust the driving force for so many rendevous, just hope it don't end in tears
Original vocals guitars synth sounds harmony
I used to use music where I worked as a therapy assistant at The National Society for Epilepsy. OK it's not pub rock or stadiums but hey!
We had a little " Barn Dance " type band there.
My band is a solo effort today... though I enjoy colaboration, it's soooo much easier to try an' do it all on the 'pooter.
I now have a day job that is music for seniors, I get to learn lots of really old songs and tunes
Story behind the song
I was at work when the muse caught me. They say imitation is the sencerest form of flatery, n J Cash has some part in this toon. I had just experienced ( yet another) relationship melt down.
The Pink Submarine was spoken of by Barry Crier on a BBC radio show - 'm sorry I haven't a clue - maybe. The story goes that Prime minister John Major and his then lover - the egg woman Edwina Curry were sitting in bath, she asked him "John do you believe in..." Barry put in the answer of Pink Submarines, what she actually asked was did he believe in God.
Lyrics
Relationships, shipwrecks, out on the foaming brine.
One of those smashed up boats is yours and another one is mine,
We expected to sail into the sunset on our love boat, supreme,
Then we get torpedoed by my pink submarine.
Theres meandering, felandering and wandering free,
Thers pick up bars and put down lines,
N'all that complexity,
No time baby, for sitting on hands, if it's action you want then thats what I am,
Might be right or wrong, just gotta say...
CHORUS
Theres a trail of broken hearts,
Back from where that lovin' & lustin' started,
Hre to there is a blink of an eye,
Soetimes all I want to do is cry, cry, cry,
Oh, my my my
Oh my my my,
Lovin' you is the best I've felt today.
Take you out for a diner n dance,
snuggle down after for some tactile romance,
Wear my heart on my sleeve,
Wave my flag unfurled,
Oh I can carry a torch,
I just don't want to get scorched,
It ain't just heartburn, anyway.
Given up lookin for a wife or mate, my time of life I figure it's too late.
Just be happy with what I've got,
Then she walks in the roo I feel my body get hot,
Have to have a go at having her in bed - Likely as not,
Say goodbye to another night alone.
Boozing, Using, powders herbs and pills.
All that stuff I had quite enough till it,
Made me ill.
If them thrills is your hearts delight don't expect me to stay the night,
Maybe you'll believe me one day when you hear me say.
CHORUS
(as above)
Tried masturbation and fornication and everthing in between,
Somewhere on that circular waterbed, with,
Black satin sheets, n,
mirrors on the ceiling,
I found a nightmare not a dream.
At the end of the day I just need to get home I feel so much safer when I get on my own,
Don't want it to end in tears so I better not stay.
You and I the girl the guy we're both the same.
Around the block a couple of times,
Still a bit insane,
Don't panic darlin' it's you I need with our broken hearts we're a pair indeed,
Lets see how we can do,
What do you say?
CHORUS
