Minisode 8 – The Second Lyrics Challenge: Songage

“Definitely Not a Love Song” to the tune of “Not a Love Song” by Bülow
Renaissance man, I understand
Go on boy, try to take my hand
Like every romance, you slip through the sand
I wish to un-dance, black suit and satin lace
If perchance, please un-kiss those summer days
Find a Brooke that obeys
But you should know your silence is loud
I see it now, you’re aloof and it’s my fuel
You’re calling my bluff, I can’t lie like you do

“I Accept” to the tune of “Ultraviolet” by Freya Ridings
Leaving all sense behind
We jump first and then decide
Around us south winds blow
Eagle eyes on the prowl
Black ants create the town
Still a long way to go

Leaving the wicked truth
Such a pity what a fool
I am turning away
My screams over the years
Fall void on cotton ears
Swallow the hate

“Dive” to the tune of “Swim” by Alec Benjamin
Hey I’ve been thinking lately
That I wanna
Maybe start calling you baby
If you wanna
They say it’s not safe
But I know that’s not the case
Boat not required
Let’s swim against the tide

Sometimes life can be deceiving
Stop the bleeding
You help drive the healing
And I know
Whatever the weather
We can face the storm together
Let’s go in blind
And swim against the tide

“Coffee Boy” to the tune of “Bookstore Girl” by Charlie Burg
There’s a bell by the door
But you know I’m pretty sure
That you won’t stay for long
Now I hope you prove me wrong
In the back where you stepped
Out to smoke a cigarette
There’s a match on the floor
So I keep it ’cause it’s yours my love

“Blackbird” to the tune of “Canary” by Joy Williams
In the morning with the sunrise
In the trees the birds awake
Through the valley echo their sweet cries
They will float until they ache

But they will not leave the skies
No, they will not fall silent
The blackbird sings at night
Still he will, darling he will
He will fly
