Songs-in-a-Bottle

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

sometimes you just feel useless

Lyrics

now I'm examining my life, with reluctance looking back on my mistakes
in the picture, at the centre, is my lonely broken heart and how it aches
the majority of all these painful self-inflicted wounds and scars and cuts
are direct results of imbecilic choices I have made, no ifs or buts

now I've got nothing inside, my reasons for living have died
I've got nothing to live for, nothing inside
and I've got nowhere to go, I've lived but there's nothing to show for it 
no sense of fulfilment, nothing inside

with my arrogant presumption that the world was just a toy with which to play
I've surmounted every obstacle that dared to place itself there in my way
in my vanity of vanities I didn't question just what I desired    
all my spectacularly ill-judged aspirations have rebounded and backfired

now I've got nothing inside, my reasons for living have died
I've got nothing to live for, nothing inside
and I've got nowhere to go, I've lived but I've nothing to show for it
no sense of fulfilment, nothing inside

now the lesson was for learning from the start but at this moment it's too late
and the things I value now are things I've lost that I cannot recuperate
I can only point the finger at myself, cos I'm the only one to blame
so just listen to these words and take some action or in time you'll feel the same

now I've got nothing inside, my reasons for living have died
I've got nothing to live for, nothing inside
and I've got nowhere to go, I've lived but there's nothing to show for it 
no sense of fulfilment, nothing inside
