'I feel like a fool in a romance novel who's fallen far behind / Anyone else would be into love scenes, but the fool can't find his lines'

A broad range of genres and production values - from studio work to raw live performances on acoustic instruments back in the days of killer tape hiss. (All were produced as song demos vs artist demos.) IF YOU'RE A LYRIC FAN, click on the "full" or "full song info" line and play the songs from there. That way you can read the lyrics at the bottom of the page as the song plays. I am guilty of all the words, music, arrangements, production, and male vocals. Fortunately, for both you AND me, friends handled the female vocals. (Thanks Leanne, Bodra, Dianne, & Roxanne!) See ya out there!

Story behind the song
Live recording from back when dinosaurs roamed. (oops, missed that note)
Lyrics
BITTERSWEET If I could write a song for you It'd have to bleed the way that I do Cause you tie me up in sweet fantasies Then you leave me hanging blue Well I know it's not your fault You never promised me a thing But the mystery in your bright eyes Keeps on running through my dreams I feel like a fool in a romance novel Who's fallen far behind Anyone else would be into love scenes But the fool can't find his lines Well your bittersweet love burdens me Like never, never before I should be grateful for the fantasies But I'm needing so much more Moving back into my early loves When a smile could haunt my dreams Feeling brave, then feeling foolish Thinking you might think of me I feel like a fool in a romance novel Who's fallen far behind Anyone else would be into love scenes But the fool can't find his lines Like a fallen-hero ending Maybe I'm better with no ending at all Wish my heart could hear me talking But it's waiting for your call Never meant for your song's melody To sound so down and blue But I must admit, sweet lady, I never meant to fall in love with you I feel like a fool in a romance novel Who's fallen far behind Anyone else would be into love scenes But the fool can't find his lines ©1982 Van Clayton Powel
