Day 18 - First Verse

Facebook members: 256

I didn't finish the chorus today after all. I was far too busy watching webcams of snow falling in France. I suspect this is becoming far too much of an obsession. Oh well, there are probably worse things you could be obsessed with. I did finish the lyrics to the first verse though. I can't decide whether they area bit naff or not:

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But you threw it all away
You took my pills and junk
And threw them all out

They say that now's the time for giving
But you've taken everything
You're the anti Father Christmas
And it hurts

I don't know. I don't normally publish lyrics so it looks kind of odd writing them down like that, especially when it's not in the context of the song, you can't even tell the intonation on the words. But, if truth be told, I was looking for something vaguely interesting to write about. I like using the opening lyrics to Last Christmas because it's the only Christmas song we've ever played in the band plus it means I don't have to think up anything original. I wonder if there are copyright issues. It's a homage rather than a direct rip-off. Mr Panayiotou doesn't need the cash anyway and I'll just get my dad's hairdresser (George's uncle) to have a word and get it all agreed. The pill reference links back to a number of our other songs.

Hopefully we'll give it a jam tomorrow and see how it sounds. Fingers crossed the heaters are working. Until then.
