Something of a power-pop ballad
love unrequited

Steve left behind a sheaf of lyrics and a laptop full of unrelated and mostly incomplete musical noodles. This is my attempt to stitch the two together. RIP
My Long time friend and musical collaborator died last November after a long struggle against cancer. He left behind a sheaf of lyrics and a laptop full of unrelated and mostly incomplete musical noodles. This is my attempt to stitch the two together... I had fun doing it, I hope you enjoy the results.... Martin Stirrup July 2020

Story behind the song
Just the lyrics from Steve but I did use one of his power pop noodles for the feel. This is an old lyric written on paper from his first job 50 years ago, so it could be personal! I added a final verse.
Lyrics
Paragon SF MS IntroEF#m A EF#m AAB7 and fill Verse:AAB7B7B7B7AB7 C#mC#mG#mG#mAEC#mBB7 stop Im About as useful as a straightened out paper clip together as a rolling drunk Im feeling kinda low, since you let me know Im as attractive as a pregnant skunk Youre as lovely as a sparkling waterfall And as warming as a roaring flame It comes as no surprise, youre an angel in disguise, I just wish I knew the rules of your game Break:AEC#mG#mF#mG#mABB7 stop I got this feeling that you just dont love me Since you let my tyres down flat. Now Im cycling all around, this cul-de-sac town Trying to find just where youre at Instrumental verse Oh youre treating me so cruel And I really just dont know why I feel such a fool, such a doggone tool Every time I look you in the eyes You think Im as honest as a politician About as funny as a ruptured spleen And theres nothing I can do, to really get to you, A has-been who never quite has been. Now Im gonna limp off homeward Since you kicked where it hurts Theres gotta be some girl, gonna brighten up my world Instead of stirring up my dirt. Are you taking my love for granted Or just taking me for a ride Dont play the role of some innocent soul Theres more youre hurting than my pride
