I went to war as a combat soldier
One year later I was five years older
The bombs, the bullets, the anger and rage
Many years of mental turmoil until I finally turned that page.
Nobody made me go, I went of my own accord
I showed a lot of valour, didn't want any awards
We weren't heroes, we did what had to be done
The enemy were evil, they didn't know what they'd become
Brutal days, freezing nights, any moment firefights
Staring into darkness, wondering if I'd see Heavens lights
My body nearly done, only thoughts inside my head
Determined to survive, didn't want my folks to see me dead
Mission now complete, at least that's what they said
Didn't feel done to me, couldn't put this thing to bed
But I'm a good man, solid values through and through
Not just protecting my country, I was protecting you.
Chorus: To be sung after each verse.
I was born in America, cute as apple pie
But on a foreign field I very nearly died
And if I had paid the ultimate price
I would have died standing up for what I believe is right.
Chasing dreams, chasing shadows and I want you
I see you in the darkness and in the sunlight too
Everywhere I go there you are, I try to catch you up but it's always just too far
A Summer vision I just can't touch, A Summer vision I want so much
Endless Summer days and endless Summer nights
Sunshine, drinks and beaches but somethings just not right
Somethings out of place, my world is spinning
The moment I saw you, I knew it was just the beginning
Dancing with my friends but thinking of you
Drinking a bit too much just to get me through
I look at you but you don't see
I try to catch your eye but it's just not meant to be
I don't know what to do, or what to say
To get you by my side for even just one day
It's late at night, the drinks are flowing
On our way to the club but that feeling of just not knowing
You're inside my head, you're inside my soul
Thinking of you all the time is what i've come to know
My secret Summer dream, my secret Summer desire
I want you by my side, for you to take me higher
Endless days go by and the nights pass too
I've almost given up, just don't know what to do
We pass each other, the slightest touch
I smell your sweet perfume, our fingers brush
You turn and smile at me and our gaze holds
My sweet Summer dream, a story to unfold
Going in to London, meetin' all me mates
Nothin' special happening but still gonna celebrate
All dressed up, some cash in me pocket
fxxx gettin a bus, nick a cab and drive like a rocket
Get down the pub, have a drink or three
All my brothers here catchin up with me
Ladies turnin' up like moths to the flame
One night stands all round with no one to blame
Off from the pub, on to the club
Doormen lookin' hard til they see me walking down the yard
Into the club, everybodys off their face
But i've only had four pints so i'm still straight laced
I walk up to the bar, I order cocktails
I do what I want cuz i'm an Alpha male
Start downin shots like a bottomless pit
I need this rush to get the fxxxin' hit
A fox walks by, she looks me in the eye
She sidles up to me because she can't walk by
One arm round my waist, the other on my stash
She orders champagne like it's her birthday bash
Ten minutes later i'm done with her
A quickie in the gents which was mostly a blur
Back to the bar, more drinks with me mates
More ladies everywhere like fillies at the gate
Onto the dancefloor, tryin to do me thing
Can barely stand up but i've still got a bit of swing
Music blastin out, pumpin dance tracks
One bitch in front of me and two at my back
Chorus: This can be sung after every verse, every two verses or as one final verse
One night out, two beers in, three pretty girls and four shots of gin
Start at the pub, stop for some grub, a laugh with me mates and end up at the club
Spendin' all me cash and maxin' out my card, livin' for tonight goin the whole nine yards
Wife to my left, girlfriend to my right, looks like it's gonna be a great fxxxin night.

I have a natural way with words, especially Poetry and Rhyme. I use this to write songs that hopefully people will like. I don't have a 'type' of song, I just write whatever comes to mind and then see which genre it's most appropriate for.
I also run a small FB business called 'Poems & Rhymes by Design'. People send me details of any event they see fit and I write a Poem or Rhyme to suit the occasion.
