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
I had the tune. Then came this idea for some lyrics : What actually happens at that precise moment when you say to yourself " I'm in love " ? I'm still torn between the current title and 'How Can I Tell ?' and 'The Love-Thing'. Wojuhrekn ?
Lyrics
when it happens, will I know it ? when I feel love will I show it ? will my heart fly into the sky in a crazy spin ? will the moon have an aurora ? will I dance like Isadora ? or will ten thousand angels nestle upon a pin ? (philosophically speaking) will my vision go all double ? will I float up like a bubble ? will I alter behaviour melodramatically ? (in the manner of the theatre) will it shock me ? will it please me? will it burn me ? will it freeze me ? or will I feel my temperature rise to the nth degree ? (algebraically speaking) will I hear bells a ringing ? or whistling shooting-stars sounding like 'Venus and Mars' played by Paul McCartney (and Wings) ? maybe I'll be bowled over, or find a four-leaf clover ? how will I tell when the magical spell is on me ? will my waist-line be inflated ? or my nostrils be dilated ? will some metamorphosis strike unexpectedly ? how can I tell when the love-thing has happened to me ? will there be claps of thunder ? or chimes rung from pealing bells ? fairies from dainty dells dancing all around me (in rings) ? will I be all atremble ? my molecules re-assemble ? will there be change too morbid and strange to see ? will my head go over-heeling when I'm subject to the feeling ? like I've locked myself in and then thrown away the key ? how can I tell when the love-thing has happened to me ?
