The Bent Strings

Acoustic middle of the road.

The Bent Strings are: Paul Mckendrick Just a rough mix of songs I wrote and recorded as a hobby. Patience and Persistence are NOT to be under rated. Actually I love the songwriting process, it's recording that I'm not too fond of, but there are usually surprises along the way. Anyone wishing to do a cover, remix, or whatever is welcome and encouraged, just send me an email.

Lyrics

Kenny walks out into the night
The lonely night
His heart's been broken many times
Too many times

He looks out at the city lights
The dancing lights
And wonders where it all went wrong
But it's gone wrong

Take away these money blues
Take away these IOUs
Take away these money blues
Sometimes you just get used

Kenny thought the time was right
It just felt right
A house and home for a family 
Is the way to be

But then foreclosure came around
Throughout this town
And now the tide is rising fast
A way too fast

Chorus

And now it's all over the news
Wallstreet is singing the blues
Handcuffed and photo shy
Time for the final goodbye, Oh yeah
Owwww yeah, Owww yeah
