heres a couple of songs we've been working on lately, in fact the last two songs we plan to do for our debut EP

here are the download links, ther both on megaupload so you won't be able to download them at the same time, i really hope you enjoy i'm really proud and excited of both.

*note these songs are acoustic demos, not finished, and its our lead guitarist not our vocalist singing.

Cruel Intentions:

*this is a song about one of those girls who you have a crush on for ages, and when your finally with her you realise she's not the person you thought she was.

lyrics:


[verse 1]

i read my fortune's face down
and she's the patron saint of selling out
spitting our secrets off chimney tops
i for one keep my mouth locked up

[chorus]

am i going crazy, is she dancing with me?
sleeping on the pavement
with her make up on my teeth
threw trash out to passing cars
if i know you, you don't know who you are

[verse 2]

my minutes are picking up the pieces
tonights slipping through her fingertips
it's too soon to make the news
but never to soon to make the moves

we're a safe bet, but over stretched
spent torn buttons from empty pockets
i'll paint your best dress
young baby blues to restless ruby reds

[chorus]

am i going crazy, is she dancing with me?
sleeping on the pavement
with her make up on my teeth
threw trash out to passing cars
if i know you, you don't know who you are



this teenage romance is an open casket
more than room for two, theres room to move
just a tad to dramatic, a tad to nostalgic
to handle the truth


[chorus]

am i going crazy, is she dancing with me?
sleeping on the pavement
with her make up on my teeth
threw trash out to passing cars
if i know you, you don't know who you are

am i going crazy, is she dancing with me?
sleeping on the pavement
with her make up on my teeth
threw trash out to passing cars
if i know you, you don't know who you are

am i going crazy, is she dancing with me?
sleeping on the pavement
with her make up on my teeth
threw trash out to passing cars
if i know you, you don't know who you are


[B]
Someone throw me a beach towel, cause my head is swimmin

*this songs is about the pressure of writing a hit, to make your dreams happen, the struggle, and the people who make it hard for you.

lyrics:

[verse 1]
I'm a bargain, but built for disaster
so buy me out or take your chances,
I'll count my minutes I'm a second from the casket
in the line of fire on the fast lane to fiction

yes, I'm a wreck,
but at least i came equipped with the wit to clean this mess
i am next weeks press
well-spoken and sexually suggestive

[chorus]
lately my minds been like the sea
where every lines a swim up stream
no,
they'll throw you a rope,
to wrap tightly around your throat

[verse 2]
It's got me inside out my mind
on the spot, and out of time
burnt out to the butt of my cigarette,
like a gentlemen loosing ettiquette

leave on the gas, and light a match
i want to go out with a (snap, snap, snap)
blinded by the (flash, flash, flash)
of the cameras, i closed my eyes and wished

[chorus]
lately my minds been like the sea
where every lines a swim up stream
no,
they'll throw you a rope,
to wrap tightly around your throat

[bridge]
boy, take your time, you can't write hits over night
well i know who i am, i'm one of a kind, untill i step outside

[chorus]
lately my minds been like the sea
where every lines a swim up stream
no,
they'll throw you a rope,
to wrap tightly around your throat

lately my minds been like the sea
where every lines a swim up stream
no,
they'll throw you a rope,
to wrap tightly around your throat

lately my minds been like the sea
where every lines a swim up stream
no,
they'll throw you a rope,
to wrap tightly around your throat

the first song was a little too repetitive for me. it was really good, but it was basically 3 verses and the 3 choruses at the end seemed maybe just a little too much.

second song: again, 3 choruses at the end. its just too much. good though.

i hope your vocalist is at least as good as this guy, cause he is already very good.

thanks tons man, yeah in the full bands versions of the songs, the variation between the chorus's in both songs should be more apparent, for example the last chorus in the second song, will be crowd vocals with a leading vocal part over the top, and some of the chorus's will just be acoustic guitar, followed by the inclusion of the rest of the band for the following, and other souly vocal parts backing up
thanks for the advice, tho itl make sure i keep it interesting in the chorus's

same goes for the bridge in the 1st song, the difference between the bridge and the verses will be made much more apparent full band.

and yeah we wouldn't have a vocalist if he wasnt amazing :)

thanks tons for the advice!

no problem! i was trying to imagine what they would be like as a full band, and if these are rough demos then thats fine! i'm interested to hear the finished ones.

could you do me a quick favour? i posted a very rough piece in the discussion thread, could you go check that out please? i'm not sure if its worth working on or not.

In America, we don't believe in foreplay, and even though we are much less open about nudity, we have better porn.

Just throwing it out there.
