This is what our song looks like so far — we don't think it's at its best potential yet but we'd like to go ahead with this one (we'll provide a .doc if needed).
Rewind to a girl
With tears just like pearls
And a voice to remember
She's out of focus
Yet grows ambitious
As day by day she wonders:
Shall I... be her?
Someone never overlooked
Whose performance matters
Who's got everyone hooked?
[Originally written as: (just to show the intent behind the first chorus ie. in wants of being important and cared of, but not specifically in 'queen' way)]
*Shall I... be her?
Someone others notice
The one who can matter
Whose life is always bliss*
Forward to a girl
Revamping her world
And building on what she lacks
With so much at stake
She fears that she'll break
But now there's no turning back
Oh shall I be her?
And make the world stand still?
When I appear all in glitter
A most sulfurous thrill
Yes I shall be her
Space siren - stars of stars
I'll be their fair fire maiden
Their devil girl from Mars!
[Bridge]
Oh what I'd do to be 50ft tall
On the silver screen in front of all
Perhaps I'll finally feel complete
With my very own star at my feet (=Hollywood Walk of Fame)
Or will I maybe lose something?
(Well) nevermind/no matter, it's my calling
So I shall be her!
Go out with a (Big) bang
In me the universe will find its centre
Never forgetting how I sang
Nice work, chaps :) If you're happy, I'm happy to tweak - and for the tweaks to be tweaked, and so on - the way that writers do and should.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! We'd be happy for you to go over it :) Going to send you it as a document via email as we speak.
