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
This was originally titled Every Woman, but no lyrical ideas came to me. This Jan 2009 I searched for another title, got what I thought was just the right one as it sang just right, and the words wrote themselves from that. Actually, come to think of it, they didn't - I wrote them. awww... you know what I mean.... whoops - I've just done an internet trawl and found this title used by the good and great all over the place. ah me. Might have known it was too good to be true. I'll leave it as is anyway, unoriginal though it be.
Lyrics
from protected concrete states to consistency of jelly wobbling on plates a familiar constitution for a victim of love reason feverishly looks for an answer in old philosophical books but won't find one single word there for a victim of love sensibilities go where all certainty's riddled with doubt in vague sun where a misty rainbow has its colours all rinsed and washed out indecision bound with hope turns the key for release but perversely won't open the handcuffs on the wrists of a victim of love there's disjuncture in all joints and disorientation at all compass points signing each and every way for a victim of love an emotional ride into territory dark and unknown where the conflict that's raging inside sheds reluctance to not be alone pupils linger and dilate and observe as free will is abandoned to fate with the option of no choice for a victim of love endless longing to climb and arrive at the top of the hill and invading sensations of time running slow, running fast, standing still contradictory lost and found plus perplexity trouncing the heart and confounding the meaning of existence for a victim of love for the last time, till the next time, you're a victim of love
