DEAD TO ME

Verse 1

Home extra early from my shift at work

Strange sounds from inside, put me on alert

Turned the key in the door very slowly

Two bodies were entwined in front of me



Hook -

How long was I being played?

Years, months or just merely days?



Chorus

I’m not at all interested in your cries

Neither your mouth that’s so full of lies

Your face I no longer want to see

Just to be clear, your dead to me



Verse 2

After seeing that sultry scene, I just froze

Very soon after that, I broke his nose

A bewildered and broken man turned temporarily insane

The rage in me, I just couldn’t contain



Hook -

How long was I being played?

Years, months or just merely days?



Chorus

I’m not at all interested in your cries

Neither your mouth that’s so full of lies

Your face I no longer want to see

Just to be clear, your dead to me



Bridge

Woman leave this house now with immediate effect

Find some other place preferably on another planet

Don’t call, don’t write – just do not speak

No emails, no messages – please don’t you tweet



Hook -

How long was I being played?

Years, months or just merely days?



Chorus

I’m not at all interested in your cries

Neither your mouth that’s so full of lies

Your face I no longer want to see

Just to be clear, your dead to me

Verse 1

Here we go again! What’s the problem now?

You are not happy unless there’s a row


Hook

Once you start, you just cannot quit

Frankly at times, you make me sick


Chorus

Don’t start and there won’t be any

Keep things sweet, just like honey

Putting up with this, I’m a fool

Let harmony be your golden rule


Verse 2

Saying nasty words, makes an argument flare

Why can’t you, just not go there


Hook

Once you start, you just cannot quit

Frankly at times, you make me sick


Chorus

Don’t start and there won’t be any

Keep things sweet, just like honey

Putting up with this, I’m a fool

Let harmony be your golden rule


Verse 3

OMG can’t a man get some peace

Have a break, let the noise cease

Head is aching, due to the drama

Can’t you be, a whole lot calmer?



Hook

Once you start, you just cannot quit

Frankly at times, you make me sick



Chorus

Don’t start and there won’t be any

Keep things sweet, just like honey

Putting up with this, I’m a fool

Let harmony be your golden rule

Verse 1

Why is it during the day

I’ll manage; things are okay

Day to night, there’s a shift

It’s when you are sorely missed


Hook

Then I become tormented and I feel cursed

I’m telling you, nights are the worst


Chorus

At night everything takes a turn

Feelings arise; I start to yearn

That’s when I feel the loss

When my heart bears the cost


Verse 2

In the silence of the night

When the world is still around

I’ve nothing to block my thoughts

And nowhere is there a sound


Hook

Then I become tormented and I feel cursed

I’m telling you, nights are the worst


Chorus

At night everything takes a turn

Feelings arise; I start to yearn

That’s when I feel the loss

When my heart bears the cost


Verse 3

In the dark, my mood swings

The caged bird no longer sings

Can’t turn and look at you anymore

For you are gone; your no more


Hook

Then I become tormented and I feel cursed

I’m telling you, nights are the worst


Chorus

At night everything takes a turn

Feelings arise; I start to yearn

That’s when I feel the loss

When my heart bears the cost

Verse 1

Flicking through the ads for the hundreth time

Where is he? He that should be mine

My true soulmate – the subject of my dreams

Come on reveal yourself – let yourself be seen


Chorus

The lonely hearts column – that is the place

Spending time – looking for someone to my taste

Everyday hoping that today will be the day

Mr Right’s searching and will come my way


Verse 2

City of millions, you’d think it’d be easy

It’s so difficult, finding someone who pleases me

Guess its one for dinner, in the interim

Just want a shout at living in sin


Chorus

The lonely hearts column – that is the place

Spending time – looking for someone to my taste

Everyday hoping that today will be the day

Mr Right’s searching and will come my way


Verse 3

Been 4 years now since my last boyfriend

What’s the ETA, there’s no sight in end

When will the search draw to a close

Today? Tomorrow? No one really seems to know


Chorus

The lonely hearts column – that is the place

Spending time – looking for someone to my taste

Everyday hoping that today will be the day

Mr Right’s searching and will come my way

Intro
Economic uncertainty and a higher cost of living
With each passing day, humans are not winning
Unemployment, inflation and pandemic – to name a few
Bring suffering to many but what to do?

Verse 1
The business of life can be very hard
To stay afloat financially requires being on guard
Stick to the basics as granny would’ve done
This act may stop you from being overcome

Hook
Eat or Heat – A very stark choice indeed
Especially when considering both of these we need

Chorus
Charity at home begins but don’t forget others
You’re doing well but how about your brother?
Extend a helping hand to those in need
Assist those who are simply struggling to feed

Verse 2
In such times we desperately need some ingenuity
Find a way of sharing amongst our communities
Rough times ahead are forecast for the future
Need to find solutions to relieve the pressure

Hook
Eat or Heat – A very stark choice indeed
Especially when considering both of these we need

Chorus
Charity at home begins but don’t forget others
You’re doing well but how about your brother?
Extend a helping hand to those in need
Assist those who are simply struggling to feed

Bridge
Prepare, plan and review – and then repeat
A daily mantra – even whilst you sleep

Hook
Eat or Heat – A very stark choice indeed
Especially when considering both of these we need

Chorus
Charity at home begins but don’t forget others
You’re doing well but how about your brother?
Extend a helping hand to those in need
Assist those who are simply struggling to feed

Intro

Its 2am and I am pretending to sleep

Your footsteps so silent, I know you creep

And all of this occurs without any light

Where are you coming from this time of night?

Verse 1

You brush your teeth with such great care

The mouthwash now half was full I swear

A 20 minute shower: for you a record!

I’ll get the truth, this will be settled

Hook

You walk in here on your tip-toes

Is there something that I need to know?

Chorus

Wondering where have you been until this hour?

Last time we spoke, your battery lost power

Can’t wait for your explanation in the morning

Got a feeling an indoor storm is brewing

Verse 2

You enter bed like you’re breaking and entering

Your heart has stopped, you are not breathing

I turn to you but with closed eyes

From you I hear the loudest of sighs

Hook

You walk in here on your tip-toes

Is there something that I need to know?

Chorus

Wondering where have you been until this hour?

Last time we spoke, your battery lost power

Can’t wait for your explanation in the morning

Got a feeling an indoor storm is brewing

Bridge

All actions by you are in slow motion

You seem terrified just in case I’m awoken

What’s put this much fear inside of you?

Why are you crawling around here at 2?

Hook

You walk in here on your tip-toes

Is there something that I need to know?

Chorus

Wondering where have you been until this hour?

Last time we spoke, your battery lost power

Can’t wait for your explanation in the morning

Got a feeling an indoor storm is brewing

Outro

I ask again –

What is it making you crawl around here?

Speak loud and clear, I beg you to share

Verse 1
Why look this way? Seen something you like?
If that’s true – Well my future is bright
Since I saw you coming through the door
My eyes have been desiring so much more

Hook
What is it about you that makes my heart soar?
My eyes have stuck to you, since you walked through the door!

Chorus
Keeping this short but straight from the heart
Don’t know you but from here lets start
Right after seeing you, I just lit up
From your well, I want to fill my cup

Verse 2
Your sheer beauty stands out from the crowd
Must be why my heart beats so loud
The scent of you for me is divine
What will you say to a little red wine?

Hook
What is it about you that makes my heart soar?
My eyes have stuck to you, since you walked through the door!

Chorus
Keeping this short but straight from the heart
Don’t know you but from here lets start
Right after seeing you, I just lit up
From your well, I want to fill my cup

Verse 3
Can no longer hear what my friends say
Just praying that you’ll come back this way
Crave to be beside you, now and always
I know in my heart, this is not a phase

Hook
What is it about you that makes my heart soar?
My eyes have stuck to you, since you walked through the door!

Chorus
Keeping this short but straight from the heart
Don’t know you but from here lets start
Right after seeing you, I just lit up
From your well, I want to fill my cup

Verse 1
Man – Damn how unlucky can one person be?

But for that diversion, this I wouldn’t see

Why oh why did I take that road?

Saw a ticking time bomb waiting to explode

Hook
Heavens forbid! What the hell is this?

Just can’t believe who received that kiss!

Chorus
How long has this ‘thing’ been in existence

For heavens sake, they need to show resistance

Could be the beginning of World War 3

What I’ve witnessed here is a catastrophe

Verse 2
An illicit affair – that is what it is

This is all wrong for she is not his

Rather not know than have to carry this around

If this gets out, the effects shall be profound

Hook
Heavens forbid! What the hell is this?

Just can’t believe who received that kiss!

Chorus
How long has this ‘thing’ been in existence

For heavens sake, they need to show resistance

Could be the beginning of World War 3

What I’ve witnessed here is a catastrophe

Verse 3
Don’t want this blowing up in my face

Frankly what I saw is an utter disgrace

Wish I could rewind and go back in time

Moonwalk to a place where this knowledge wasn’t mine

Hook
Heavens forbid! What the hell is this?

Just can’t believe who received that kiss!

Chorus
How long has this ‘thing’ been in existence

For heavens sake, they need to show resistance

Could be the beginning of World War 3

What I’ve seen here is a catastrophe

Outro
Can’t help but feel victimised by the perpetrators

The scene witnessed really isn’t to my flavour

Saying it’s in poor taste is an understatement

It needs to receive the highest X rating
