RETRO pop songs --- from another millennium and another galaxy.

My name's Pete. from Birmingham in UK-land. Nice to meet you ! I made a lot of very varied popsongs in the pre-digital age. I say they're McCartneyish, as I don't know how to categorize them. Allsorts. The description I use is RETRO I'm really a songwriter who wants others to perform these songs. So please bear that in mind as you grimace at my efforts to be acceptable. I'm especially concerned to write good lyrics, and if you do ever give some time to my stuff, I hope you will click to the lyrics and read those also. They don't come easy, you know. I'm plonking my songs here to give them a home, in the hope you might think they're not too bad. In fact, in the hope that you'll snap them up and I'll become an instant overnight megastar multi-millionaire. But failing that, I hope that you just like them. And if you do like one - I'd especially like it if you told me so. We all need strokes, eh ? Cheers ! Pete Songs-in-a-Bottle

Story behind the song

eltit eht morf sdrawkcab dekrow tsuj

Lyrics

the summer sun has been burning bright but there's no warmth in this weaker light
the lack of heat in this chilly spell necessitates that we wrap up well
for many months how a strong sun shone but now the warm days are gone
a winter clime has taken hold - it's getting cold 

we used to swim in an outdoor pool but now the water is much too cool
from wearing sandals and rolling sleeves our boots are kicking autumnal leaves
we used to fry in the heart of town but now the temperature's down
it's no surprise, it was foretold - it's getting cold 

this time of year natural refrigeration bites on your ear
and a cherry blossoms on your nose and there are ten more on your toes because a wintery wind blows

summer was grand, estival magnificence festooned all the land
now approaching winter shows no trace and central heating takes the place of ultra-violet on your face

 

because the winter brings snow and ice we tend to treat it as not too nice
in fact the previous years have shown it's got a beauty that's all its own
I don't know why its arrival shocks when I have to wear thicker socks
the year was young and now it's old - it's getting cold
a winter clime has taken hold - it's getting cold
