Only vote for one. The top three contests can vote for there's cuz then they will still be tied.

Here are the top three lyrics.

Wouldn’t They Desalt the Ocean?
By: sXe_Jinxeh
Sitting on the bank of the river Styx
Watching my life implode
Frustrated by the scandals
And all the lies we’re told
I’m looking for a way to get out
But my rope keeps coming up short
I’m desperate for a way to escape
This heavily guarded fort


[Chorus]
But maybe you
Can save me from my soul
Keep me from
This unavoidable toll
Protect me from the end
Protect me from the war
Protect me
From all that I stand for

There’s an empty bottle
Floating past Charon
There’s a lost soldier
Standing on the bank
We keep watching and waiting
For everything to change
But nobody cares
Nobody cares

[Chorus]

Coins in the mouth will save your life
Coins in the mouth will save your life
Coins in the mouth will save your life
But don’t count on greed

Coins in the mouth will save your….
Protect me

The Beast of London
By: GeorgeMichael

Old Man:
Beyond the forest of London town
There lies a creature of great renown
He comes and goes each midnight’s night
He leaves the citizens filled with fright

William(SPOKEN):
What creature? What sir?

*A woman comes out of a house*

Woman:
A beast of size unknown but vast
With strength unmatched and mighty fast
He’s called upon by the full grown moon
And he’ll be at your doorstep impeccably soon.

Both:
Don’t look back now just keep going
Hour by hour the threat keeps growing
Turn your head and you’ll be done
Face to face with the Beast of London

William(SPOKEN):
And what is the beast? Can it be stopped?

*A police officer comes from down the street*

Police Officer:
Courageous men have sent campaigns
Though all attempts have been in vain
The creature lurks deep in the dark
And should you live you’ll bear a mark

William(SPOKEN):
A mark?

Woman:
A mark of the worst kind young sir
To disappear once you sprout fur
An Omen dear of things to come
A turn of events of what you’ll become

Old Man:
The virus eats away from inside
And from yourself you cannot hide
You’ll scream and burn as it devours
And you’ll be dead by the end of the hour


All:
Fear the full moon, flee as it shines
Creature fights and tears out our spines
There’s no chance to fight against one
One of the Beasts of London

William(SPOKEN):
One of them? There are more than one.

A howl is heard in the distance…

Woman:
One approaches, search for cover

Old Man:
There, in the air, above it hovers

Police Officer:
Run now sir before you’re undone!

All:
Done undone by the Beast of London!

Something comes from the darkness and screams are heard as the Old Man, Woman, and Police Officer are smashed into bits, their blood and guts splattered on the streets.

Something New
By: Nanyoky

Charlie Jones is just a silly girl
She says one day ‘I might give it a whirl,
To ride the sun, to fight the rain
Even if it might drive me insane.’

So she goes down to the city with her violin case
Sees a silly boy carryin his contra bass
She says ‘what you doin with your strings here?’
He says ‘You’ll know if you’ll just lend me your ear’

Charlie Jones thinks the world spins round
On honey bees and sweet smooth sound
She don’t know no one who would do her wrong
So she sits at home and writes her love song

So Charlie sits down on the side walk there
The sun caught in her deep chocolate hair
She listens while he plays that blues slap bass
All the while, just watchin his face

She says, ‘Boy that sounds pretty good,
But you know maybe not like it should.’
He says ‘What do ya mean, Miss Pretty Eyes?’
And it takes a moment till Charlie replies;

‘A song should be, sweet as honey
shouldn’t be singin it, for power or money
A song should make, a girl feel great
With a little feelin that she can relate.’

He looks at her for a second or two
He says, ‘Girl, haven’t you ever been blue?’
‘I’ve been down,’ Charlie admits
‘But it’s only been for pieces and bits.’

Michael Gray is a thoughtful boy
He brought his bass down from Illinois
He caught a bus to take his chance
For gettin more than a passin glance

He thought he might just play a show
In the big city where people know
How to spot a rising star
Even if it’s from their speedin car

So he played his bass for a girl down there
The sun caught in her pretty brown hair
He’s never met a silly one like this
One that sorrow so easy will dismiss

He don’t really know just what to say
He stares at her with blatant dismay
She smiles back at him and asks him polite
Where he’s playin his bass tonight

These two string players came to show the world
The amazin talent that they’ve been hurled
They couldn’t be more contrary
If they didn’t both sing like a canary

And maybe, they’ll find their other side
In each other a safe house, they can confide
They might just learn a little thing or two
If he tried a smile or she sang the blues


VOTE SOON!!!

[Naideana]

Hi'ya cookie! Ol' Naddy-chan has decided to give this a whirl, cuz dad is always like "Write songs Deana! Then we can record them and cut an album!" - Well, he doesn't call me 'Deana', but you know what I mean.

So anyway, I'll sign up! I should warn you though - I am in a really cheesy mood right now - so it's probably gonna be random and weird and un-song like. Still, I'll try! Is there a prize?! Is pocky the prize?! For pocky I'll write anything!

-Naideana

[Guessed]

I would join if I didn't have a problem with this contest: songs are good either because of their music, or because of both their music and their lyrics. The instrumental stuff is such an integral part, even with lyric-heavy music like Decemberists (who I love). So... anything I'd come up with would be just mediocre poetry.

I mean, songwriting is an industry wherein for every popular song with well-thought-out lyrics, there is another popular song that consists mainly of "nanana"s and "hey, hey"s and "doot-doo"s. :P

[Zombified]

I have a song done, I'll do it.

[GeorgeMichael]

I'll try this, I'm not sure how well I'll do.

[Naideana]

I agree 101% with Guessed!!! All the songs I like have lots of piano solos in them, and I wouldn't love them if it weren't for that! (and no, I don't play piano, oldly enough. But I'm completely in love with the sound it has in some songs.)

I'm doing this anyway, since it sounds like it could be fun at the very least! And I'm in a 'Try stuff out mood'! (beware; last time I was in that mood I put peanut butter on my chilli....)

[Guessed]

Yeah, I also entered "try stuff out" mood last night... I might write up some lyrics. I might even try to add piano or synthesized notes if I suddenly find myself with a totally free weekend. :rolleyes:

[Midnight_Moon]

Awesome! So I have Guessed, Naddy, GM, & Zomb. Anyone else?

[Quietus]

I'll hop on board.

[Nanyoky]

I'm in! But like Naddy, mine is gunna be pretty rough. i don't usually do poetry unless forced by the english teachy variety of subhuman lifeform. But I'm in that mood too! I made strawberry shortcake with bisquick without the strawberries two days ago. they sucked and gave me a majorly bad stomach ache, but that's not the point! The point is i'm in a rut i need to get out of!

[Midnight_Moon]

Sounds Good! Alright, because everyone has a busy life, my due date will give a large amount of time. How about June 28? That gives you a month.
Know just post your lyrics in here. I still haven't thought of a prize yet. I may contact Andy or Shaun to see if we could give like 25 points or not but we may be getting rid of the Icon Shop so I don't know.

[Naideana]

That's it then? We just start writing?! Ahhhh!!! I'm not ready for this!!!!!! *runs in circles screaming* I have to - I have to - omigod. *drops on floor and starts twitching*

Heahea....well, obviously I've had my morning cup of sugar today. It should ware off by midnight or so....if I'm lucky.

Sooooo...post them here in this thread? Any other things we should know about? Like, everyone who loses will be feed to a hungry man-eating chicken or something?


-The very random feeling Naddy :queen:

[Nanyoky]

Okay, I've got something, but can I post a recording with it? I mean, it ain't fantastic, but neither are my lyrics.

[Naideana]

*gasp* ZOMG Yoky! You're faster then Reno on a first date! How on earth...?! *shakes head* I thought for sure I'd beat you! *sigh* I'd better redouble my hopeless efforts....

[Guessed]

I may not be running the contest here, but it would be pretty stupid to disallow the posting of actual songs put to your lyrics, Nanyoky. Like I said, a lot of lyrics are dependant on their music to get the appropriate tone and feeling across.

[Nanyoky]

Well... i haven't exactly got instrumentals... but meh, i dunno. i thought it might be a little unfair to people who just post the lyrics. I think i'll do a little more tweaking though, so no rush

[Zombified]

Yeah, I wanna post a recording too...

[sXe_Jinxeh]

Can people still join?!

I want to join! XP

[sXe_Jinxeh]

Wouldn’t They Desalt the Ocean?
Sitting on the bank of the river Styx
Watching my life implode
Frustrated by the scandals
And all the lies we’re told
I’m looking for a way to get out

I’m desperate for a way to escape
This heavily guarded fort

[Chorus]
But maybe you
Can save me from my soul
Keep me from
This unavoidable toll
Protect me from the end
Protect me from the war
Protect me
From all that I stand for

There’s an empty bottle
Floating past Charon
There’s a lost soldier
Standing on the bank
We keep watching and waiting
For everything to change
But nobody cares
Nobody cares

[Chorus]

Coins in the mouth will save your life
Coins in the mouth will save your life
Coins in the mouth will save your life
But don’t count on greed

Coins in the mouth will save your….
Protect me

Sorry about double posting, but I saw this thread and just started typing. Here it is; the title's inspired by Social class when we were learning about Ghandi and the Salt March, and then one guy asked that question, so yeah. I'm in!

[Midnight_Moon]

Awesome Jinx! Sorry about not being on here for awhile. I have been really busy. I think recording would be fine, and lyrics are fine. I don't know if everyone has an amazing voice or wants to world to here it (strictly only their shower head). So here is what I am going to do; if you want to record that is just dandy but you have to also put your lyrics on as well.

[Daniel (Kal) Prelipp]

so how do i register? do i just write it down?

[Midnight_Moon]

Just say you want to register, and I'll put you on my list of people who have registered.

Hey, I see you are new. Why not go to the Newbie Zone and introduce yourself to everyone?

[Daniel (Kal) Prelipp]

I wanna be in it.
It's kinda sad, but thats how i wanted it to be

Drinking away the pain:
I've lived, and loved, and want to die,
As I stared off into the rain.
I close my eyes as I start to cry,
As I slowly drink away the pain.
solo
My will to live no longer exists,
on this long cold road to death.
There's got to be something better than this,
Just to put my soul to rest.
Chorus
How does she expect me to thrive,
When there's nothing left.
Why should I want to survive,
When there is only death.
solo
How can I keep my soul awake,
When all I loved is gone.
Was your love for me just a mistake,
How could it have ever been wrong?
Chorus
How does she expect me to thrive,
When there's nothing left.
Why should I want to surive,
When there is only death.
She's taken it all away from me,
So now I must depart.
I will never again be free,
For she still has my heart.
solo
I've lived,and loved, and want to die,
As I stare off into the rain.
I close my eyes as I start to cry,
As I slowly drink away the pain.
As I slowly end the pain.
Forever my heart's been slain.
:(

[Midnight_Moon]

Awesome! One thing though, does it have a title? I would like to have all of the songs in the contest have a name.

I decided that after everyone has posted there songs (which you only have 22 days left) I will make a poll and then everyone and vote for there favorite two. Then the songwriter that got the most votes will just have the good feeling that everyone liked there song the most.

[Daniel (Kal) Prelipp]

That sounds pretty cool. :groovy:

[GeorgeMichael]

ok here's mine, it's a part of a musical! The first song :) You might need to know a bit, a young man named William went to London and he heard rumors of a monster so he asks an old man, here we go :)

The Beast of London

Old Man:
Beyond the forest of London town
There lies a creature of great renown
He comes and goes each midnight’s night
He leaves the citizens filled with fright

William(SPOKEN):
What creature? What sir?

*A woman comes out of a house*

Woman:
A beast of size unknown but vast
With strength unmatched and mighty fast
He’s called upon by the full grown moon
And he’ll be at your doorstep impeccably soon.

Both:
Don’t look back now just keep going
Hour by hour the threat keeps growing
Turn your head and you’ll be done
Face to face with the Beast of London

William(SPOKEN):
And what is the beast? Can it be stopped?

*A police officer comes from down the street*

Police Officer:
Courageous men have sent campaigns
Though all attempts have been in vain
The creature lurks deep in the dark
And should you live you’ll bear a mark

William(SPOKEN):
A mark?

Woman:
A mark of the worst kind young sir
To disappear once you sprout fur
An Omen dear of things to come
A turn of events of what you’ll become

Old Man:
The virus eats away from inside
And from yourself you cannot hide
You’ll scream and burn as it devours
And you’ll be dead by the end of the hour


All:
Fear the full moon, flee as it shines
Creature fights and tears out our spines
There’s no chance to fight against one
One of the Beasts of London

William(SPOKEN):

A howl is heard in the distance…

Woman:

All:
Done undone by the Beast of London!

Something comes from the darkness and screams are heard as the Old Man, Woman, and Police Officer are smashed into bits, their blood and guts splattered on the streets.






Hope you like it...

[Zombified]

Now that I look at the rules, I might be disqualified.

All the songs I have recorded are over 6 minutes.

I think that isn't fair.
Why should we limit how long the songs are?

Bob Dylan's songs are always long, but he is the greatest lyricist of all time, what does it matter how long it is?

[GeorgeMichael]

There are limits to the song's length?


That's true midnight, I don't think there should be a limit :P

[Nyx]

I was just lurking this thread...because I can't write songs and I was bored. And I have to say, I never get how lyrics can be good songs without the music...
Anywho, I read your song sXe_Jinxeh, cause it was the first I saw, and it is awesome! I can imagine it in my head, but the rythm I hear is probably different than what you have in mind D: Good job, anyways. ^^

[Daniel (Kal) Prelipp]

Well, what do you guys think of my song?

[Midnight_Moon]

It was interest, yet cool Dan.

No, there is no song limit. I was just kinda joking 'bout that. It's OK if it is long I just didn't want something that dragged on and on and on, etc. But no you are not disqualified Zomb.

[Nanyoky]

urg.... i'm almost done with mine, but it's SO incredibly not me. *emo corner* yoky does NOT write country music. and for good reason, as she has learned. yoky is also tired and now referring to herself in the third person. i want to record my melody because i think it helps the patheticness of it, but i'm not sure how to get an account on one of those sites. help anyone?

[Naideana]

Omigosh! It's practically over! Hang on! I can post my song on the 28th! Is that too late? Does it close on mid-night of the 27th, or mid-night on 28th? I can post tonight I guess...

Yeah, my song turned out weird and it's really emo-ee and strange and...weird. I bet it's weirder then yours Yoky-chan!

PS. Love your sig, Yoky! Hehehe!

[Zombified]

Here it is.
My song, Johnny Day.


You're in a bar
In Southern France
Drinking away
Your troubles and past

Your drink is now warm
The ice has all melt
There in the back
A man in black

The keys in your pants
Will jiggle and dance
They're on their way
To fire and hash

The gun in your lap
Will giggle and laugh
I wish you could see
The pain that I feel

(Chorus)
You don't know
Where you'll go
All you know
Is what you'll smoke
Tonight.

So you get up
Gun in your hand
Point in the face
Of some random man

Your finger will twitch
Next comes the blast
Down goes the man
Its over now

(Chorus)

Now you're in jail
Locked away
All because
You killed Johnny Day

Now you're alone
All by yourself
Forever locked
In a prison cell

(Chorus)
And a recording of the song!
Johnny Day (http://www.zshare.net/audio/11939587b29d4d2f/)

[Midnight_Moon]

Naideana- Nope
Zombified- Yep!
GeorgeMichael- Yep!
Guessed- Nope
Quietus- Nope
Nanyoky- Nope
sXe_Jinxeh- Yep!
Daniel (Kal) Prelipp- Yep!

So we're waiting for Naideana, Guessed, Quietus, & Nanyoky. Guys, I had to be cruel but if they ain't in by July 5, we are going to have to start the voting on the best YWO song from the Songwriting contest without. Sorry :(

So, please get your songs put here soon. The rest of ya, hold tight till July 5, or sooner if we get then all sooner.

[Guessed]

...I don't recall promising an entry. So continue the music bash without me. :P

[Midnight_Moon]

Oh, thought ya did. Sorry!

[Zombified]

Grr....
I dont like extensions...

Its not fair to those of us who actually got our stuff in on the due date!

:mad:

[Midnight_Moon]

Sorry, but I want to have everyone to have an opportunity.

And Pibs says- Well DEAL!!! ^^

[Zombified]

I am all for that, but a whole week extension?

Why not just two days?

[Midnight_Moon]

Well, FINE! Ends the 30th of June at Midnight! But if you get it up early July 1st, I probably won't notice. ^^

[Zombified]

:D

That is much more fair.

And to help things along, PM the contestants who owe you a song, that way they get their asses in gear!

[GeorgeMichael]

*raises hand in agreement with Zombie*


:) Two days sounds good... One?

[Midnight_Moon]

Nope, two. I already sent a PM to the slow folk but soon.

[Naideana]

*Red anime vain pops over Naddy's head* WHO'RE YOU CALLIN' SLOW FOLK?!?!?!? (mock yelling, I'm not really that mad) I'll have you know my song was fininished on the 27th! I didn't need the deadline moved ahead! But...Since some people *coughcough* seem to have ants in their pants, I'll just post now. I only put off posting so that my fabuless beta could take a look. Posting without her seeing first would be bad luck. Very bad luck indeed...

This is my weird emo attempt at song writing. After doing this, I decided on one thing; I'm sticking with fan fictions. Yeah, songs aren't my thing. Anyway, this is all messed up and depressing, but enjoy anyway.

Saving Grace

Why go on? Why keep lying like this?
We used to be so happy, ‘til something went amiss.
It’s no use cryin’ over milk that’s been spilled.
Our time has been spent, it’s pointless to rebuild.

Why go on? You think I don’t know all the girls you been kissing?
Every time I touch you, it feels like something’s missing.
We’re only fooling ourselves now, to think that this can be saved.
Pretending to be happy, darling, we’ve become enslaved.

(Chorus)
Why go on? Your embraces are empty.
You threaten to end it, oh honey don’t tempt me.
I’m all alone when I’m with you.
I’m Askin’ myself if there’s anything I can do.
I want to leave, but the bruises aren’t gone yet.
Silent reminders of last time I made you upset.
(End chorus)

We go out together, and smile for our friends.
Put on our happy faces. We act, we pretend.
They’ll never suspect, and they’ll never guess.
I suppose I let them believe, because I’m afraid to confess.

(Chorus)

Why go on? Why hold onto this hopeless dream?
Why go on? It’s like swimming upstream.
I’m lost in the current. You’re pulling me down.
Fighting to breathe, I know I’m going to drown.

Tears meet blood and run down my face.
It won’t be much longer, and I can leave this place.

It won’t be much longer,
death will be my saving grace.

The end! There. Happy? This is what happens when Naddy-chan works under a deadline...oh, quick author's note; I've never actually been in an abusive relationship before, just so you guys aren't like "Gasp! Naddy's got some boyfriend who beats her up! I'm calling PETA!" Or, something...yea...sorry for making you wait! It was thoughtful of Moon to add a grace period! Thanks!

Oh yeah, was there ever gonna be a prize?

[Midnight_Moon]

Awesome Naddy! Know, just Yoky and Quietus. The faster you guys post the faster the poll will be up.

[Quietus]

Buahahahaha! My depression-induced, emo-tastic song!!!

Finale

My mind is escaping me,
Heart tearing in three
All this pain
Controls my brain
I’m falling apart
From the inside out

I can’t take this anymore
All apologies and good byes
I can’t go on anymore
I think it’s time that I should...

I’m sorry for all the pain I caused you,
For all the tears spilled for my cause
All the sleepless nights spent on me
And my f*cked decisions
I’m sorry for your wasted time
Trying to make me better
Everything’s failed, everything’s wrong

I can’t go on anymore (No more)
My life’s gone awry too many times
I can’t take this anymore (No more)
I give you these last rhymes...

I can’t take this anymore
All apologies and good byes
I can’t go on anymore
I think it’s time that I should...

All my apologies
All my good byes
Take my life for what it’s worth
Remember me for what I am

I’m sorry you have to be here
When it comes crashing down
Don’t blame yourself, my dear
I don’t wanna see any frown

I can’t take this anymore (No more)
All apologies and good byes (Good bye)
I can’t go on anymore (No more)
I think it’s time that I should... (Die)
I can’t go on anymore (No more)
My life’s gone awry too many times (Good bye)
I can’t take this anymore (No more)
I think it’s time that I should
Die...

[Nanyoky]

My bad on being late in the first place, i've been in and out of town like crazy! >.< Zombified, could you link me a registration to that site? I've been tryin to figure it out meself, but I just haven't had time. It would be great if you would! ^_^

[Midnight_Moon]

Awesome Quietus. Now, just Yoky, hurry but girl friend if you can. Deadlines tomorrow.

[Nanyoky]

Ak, I'm the last one!? doh! Sorry for makin y'all wait! Okay, I don't write country music. Heck, I don't even listen to country music most of the time! But for whatever reason, something possesed me to write the sappiest, cheesiest, fluffiest country ballad known to man kind... yeah. I feel the need to now break something valuable or wreck something cute... *cranks kmfdm* Better... ehem, anywho, what with my scatterbrained nature and all, I'm pretty sure I stole my melody from somewhere, but I have no idea where. I mean, it would be really cool if it was mine cuz I totally came up with it on the spot, but I kinda doubt it. *shrug* oh well, it ain't like i'm publishing. so let me know if you recognize it cuz i like to know what's stored in the dark recesses of my brain. oh- and i didn't record the whole thing cuz I'm no singer and it's dang long. also sorry for sucky quality. oh man... every one else did really deep serious stuff... I feel alone... Oh shitza... I should probably name this sucker... How about... Something New? Cuz the rest of the song is cliche, so why not the title too? wow. I'm really ranty tonight... me shut up now...

[Midnight_Moon]

Whoa! Cool, sounds like some sort of Johnny Cash country/blues song but it was really cool.

So, I'll get the poll up. I will allow you to vote for two cuz we had such great entries, one of your votes can be your song if you wish but the other has to be some one else's (no duh!)

Again, GREAT ENTRIES EVERYONE!!!

[Zombified]

In case you forgot what my song was!!

Johnny Day (http://www.zshare.net/audio/11939587b29d4d2f/)

You're in a bar
In Southern France
Drinking away
Your troubles and past

Your drink is now warm
The ice has all melt
There in the back
A man in black

The keys in your pants
Will jiggle and dance
They're on their way
To fire and hash

The gun in your lap
Will giggle and laugh
I wish you could see
The pain that I feel

(Chorus)
You don't know
Where you'll go
All you know
Is what you'll smoke
Tonight.

So you get up
Gun in your hand
Point in the face
Of some random man

Your finger will twitch
Next comes the blast
Down goes the man
Its over now

(Chorus)

Now you're in jail
Locked away
All because
You killed Johnny Day

Now you're alone
All by yourself
Forever locked
In a prison cell

(Chorus)

[GeorgeMichael]

Yay... but I'm not sure if it's good that you can choose more than one... but ok :)
