I am a resident of Sydney, Australia. I started writing song lyrics in February 2024. I have also written a novel "Eye of the Mogul" which is available on Amazon.
Intro
(young woman sighing and yawning)
Verse 1
I said hello to that reflection in the hall again
Really should clean the dust off you, shouldn’t I?
You looked as bored as I do,
Dressed in your dirty greys.
Go brush your teeth!
In case someone calls.
Oh, who would that be?
Loungeroom Queen.
Pre-chorus
If you really want to set me free,
You’d break down my door and rescue me.
Chorus
You’d take me up into your blue-sky,
So clear and blue.
You’d lay a path of yellow bricks,
So straight and true.
They would all turn green with envy,
At me and you.
As I skipped & ran away in my,
Red ruby shoes.
Verse 2
It’s raining now, should close that window there.
It lets the draught in, and my spirits out.
The cat’s growling like a little lion,
Oh no, forgot to buy that special tin of his favourite food.
Damn, the coupon’s expired,
I will have to pay full price.
Bridge
If pink bubbles floated into my sight,
You’d know what to do, to win the fight.
Chorus
You’d take me up into your blue-sky,
So clear and blue.
You’d lay a path of yellow bricks,
So straight and true.
They would all turn green with envy,
At me and you.
As I skipped & ran away in my,
Red ruby shoes
Verse 3
I’m swept up in your whirlwind,
And spun around.
I’m scared to break your spell on me,
Fall to the ground.
What was once so black and white,
No shades of grey.
Is showered all in emerald gems,
A magic day.
Chorus
You’d take me up into your blue-sky,
So clear and blue.
You’d lay a path of yellow bricks,
So straight and true.
They would all turn green with envy,
At me and you.
As I skipped & ran away in my,
Red ruby shoes.
Outro
Fly me to your crimson dawn, beyond the night.
Fly me to your crimson dawn, beyond the night.
Fly me to your crimson dawn, beyond the night.
If I had your pout and stare and I really didn’t care
Would I
Be You, Be You
If I had your nails and hair and personality to spare
Would I
Be You, Be You
If I talked so au contraire and had a pretty young au pair
Would I
Be You, Be You
If I covered Marie Claire and had perky things to bare
Would I
Be You, be You
If I got close enough to feel all the sins that you conceal that you promise never to reveal,
Would I
Be You, Be You
If I dropped A-lister names or put the critics all to shame or tried to never take the blame,
Would I
Be You, Be You.
If I can see your film in Cannes or be on your lover’s arm or fake your oh so easy charm
Would I
Be You, Be You
If I bought your cheesy merch and I never went to church and I worshipped Google Search
Would I
Be You, Be You
If I spruiked a magic potion or had your rhythmic hippy motion or could create a mad commotion when I dived into the ocean
Would I
Be You, Be You
If the paparazzi waited at your community all gated and I climbed the fence gold-plated as you drove past number-plated
Would I
Be You, Be You
If I screamed and jumped and waved and put your super-fans to shame and talked of you until I raved and made myself your slave,
Would I
Be You, Be You.
If I want to be your DNA and slip into your heels all day and be your spritz and your entrée and cruise your Porsche down the highway to your private yachted Bay to write the lyrics that’ll slay from New York to Saint-Tropez and never have to pay for the perfect sweaty lay in your tropic hide-away would it then be true to say
That
I would
Be You, You
How do I get close enough to you
To believe that it is true,
That there is no Me & You
I would then become just You.
And I would
Be You, Be You,
How do I get close enough to you,
To believe that it is true,
That there is no Me & You,
I would then become just You.
And I would
Be You, Be You.
Close enough to you, to believe that it is true,
To be stuck on you like glue.
And all the wealth that I’d accrue
Leave them behind in the rearview
Middle-finger them so you,
Can show them all just who is who.
And
Be You.
Ha ha.
I firstly saw it camouflaged as rain,
through jaded eyes.
And as I looked it danced upon the plain,
through shafts of light.
It then plucked petals from my soul,
through poisoned thorns.
To make a potpourri,
of wounds and scars and stones.
Have you ever tried to gaze into a moment,
been delighted by its fickle, flirty ways.
Been drawn into its sombre melancholy,
and were surprised that it remembered all your names.
Next I saw it posing as a glance,
from loving eyes.
Clicking glasses sparkling in the stars,
disguised as wine.
It hid behind your giggle,
as we dined.
Then chased away the night as midnight chimed.
Moments seldom answer invitations,
hearts don't skip a beat without them knowing why.
They don't care about our expectations,
They dance then evanesce into the sky.
Have you ever tried to gaze into a moment,
been delighted by its fickle flirty ways.
Been drawn into its sombre melancholy,
and were surprised that it remembered all your names.

Verse 1
Don’t try, Don’t cry
Don’t be the things that I can.
Saw me, in you
Could’ve been the deadly embrace.
I walked, I ran
I decided to chase.
You saw, you fell
For the lie you saw in my face.
Pre-chorus
Was coming for you
Now coming for me
Not fated to be
Just waited to see.
Chorus
I don’t care, what or why
Whoever you say that I am.
I don’t know, who I was
Just see whatever I am.
I can’t try, to see you
Through the fog of whoever I am
I see me, in you
Then try the best that I can.
Verse 2
Now you, are like me
I guess it’s the price that you pay.
And I, am like you
Oh dear, what more can I say.
We kissed, we missed
I helped you up from the floor
Then you, came back
Still begging for more of the more.
Pre-chorus
Was coming for you
Now coming for me
Not fated to be
Just waited to see.
Chorus
I don’t care, what or why
Whoever you say that I am.
I don’t know, who I was
Just see whatever I am.
I can’t try, to see you
Through the fog of whoever I am
I see me, in you
Then try the best that I can.
Bridge
Less like, more love.
Measure up to who that I am.
More you, less me
Treasure all that I can.
Be me, be you
Said hello to your wave.
I’m me, you’re you
Drop the chains that made me your slave.
Chorus
I don’t care, what or why
Whoever you say that I am.
I don’t know, who I was
Just see whatever I am.
I can’t try, to see you
Through the fog of whoever I am
I see me, in you
Then try the best that I can.
Outro
Saw me, in you
Not as you, but how that I am.
Saw me, in you
Not as you, but how that I am.
Saw me, in you
Not as you, but how that I am…
