Reciprocity Nexus

Lyrics

Almost Wrote A Good Song

Up late at night
Composing by candlelight
Trying to write
On this guitar
A love song to you
My dear

First, harmonically
Choose the key and the chords
Major and minor
Time signature and tempo
Verses and bridge, chorus and Middle eight

All my days
I long to compose
The perfect song for my muse
A top tune
An anthem (just) for you
To sing your heart out to
At Glastonbury
Wave and sway
With the crowd

Late in the day
This thing is driving me crazy
Trying to
Compose on keyboards
My ode to you
My love

Then, melodically
All the notes in the scale need to flow
And weave
In between the chords
And soar in thirds and fourths
And the words
Don’t come easy

All my life
I strive to write
The perfect song for my love
A top tune
An anthem (just) for you
To sing your heart out to
At Glastonbury
Sway and wave
In the crowd

I lay the blame with my brother
He had a red record player
And my cousin a cherry red Gibson
In the mirror
Teenyboppers
Strum tennis rackets
Lost in music

All my days
I long to compose
The perfect song for my muse
A top tune
An anthem (just) for you
To sing your heart out to
At Glastonbury
Wave and sway
With the crowd
