Can’t Stop Drinking About You
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

there are two things
driving me crazy
booze and women every day
day in and day out
give me pause for thought
I’m afraid
’cause I just wanna get laid
but booze is my friend
while you are out of my reach

I just can’t
stop drinking about you
drinking about you
drinking about you
no matter how hard I try
think I’m going to die

people tell me to give up
that you’re too good for me
a drunkard and a crank
but I see your legs in that dress
and I must confess I’m distressed
thoughts of the mess we would make
if you would give me a date

I just can’t
stop drinking about you
drinking about you
drinking about you
no matter how hard I try
think I’m going to die

(bridge)
I sober up
and I know
that our love is a no-go
but that doesn’t stop me
oh no
from hoping one day
we’ll hop in bed
and live in sin

I just can’t
stop drinking about you
drinking about you
drinking about you
no matter how hard I try
think I’m going to die

‘A World On Fire’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock song

A World On Fire
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

the world is hot as can be
doesn’t seem to be getting any better
sweat is pouring down my face
into a puddle of disgrace
all I want to do is get into lace
so we can rumble between the sheets
with sweat flinging off
all around my loft

the world is on fire
there’s no going back
the world is on fire
and things are getting dire
the world is on fire
the world is on fire
the world is on fire

my love for you will never end
there’s not a snowball’s chance
that I won’t be there for you
no matter how the globe grows
I’ll be the ice by your side
that makes you sigh
but we have to
accept that maybe this is it

the world is on fire
there’s no going back
the world is on fire
and things are getting dire
the world is on fire
the world is on fire
the world is on fire

(bridge)
when things cool down
and our leaders no longer clown
maybe we can sit and watch the sun
drop from the sky
without fear that we’re going to
be broiled alive

the world is on fire
there’s no going back
the world is on fire
and things are getting dire
the world is on fire
the world is on fire
the world is on fire

‘Guaranteed Not To Split’ -#lyrics to #pop #rock song

Guaranteed Not To Split
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

want you by my side
of that there’s no doubt
but can you promise me
when the pressures on
that you won’t split
and be done with it?

are you
guaranteed not to split?
guaranteed not to split?
guaranteed not to split?
that’s I expect
from the one I love

some lovers take cover
at the drop of a hat
are you the type who will stay
even if it’s much to my dismay?
I would like to think
that I’ve got you on a leash

are you
guaranteed not to split?
guaranteed not to split?
guaranteed not to split?
that’s I expect
from the one I love

(bridge)
keep you close
that’s the dose
that I hope to fill
I’m your doctor
I’m your thrill
but here’s the deal
you’ve got to guarteen
not to split

are you
guaranteed not to split?
guaranteed not to split?
guaranteed not to split?
that’s I expect
from the one I love

‘Insurrection’ — #lyrics to a #rock song

Insurrection
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

if you don’t like the truth
and you’re an idiot to boot
grab a pole and bum rush the cap-i-tol
because we know what you got
on your mind
what’s left of it

insurrection
that’s the ticket
insurrection
that’s part of a thicket
insurrection
straight to jail
without a pause of thought

your leader tells you lies
things you think are the truth
no need to talk to you
it would be a waste of time
you’re part of a cult
that wants to bring it all down

insurrection
that’s the ticket
insurrection
that’s part of a thicket
insurrection
straight to jail
without a pause of thought

(bridge)
peace and quiet
it’s a riot
will do you some good
to keep your hate to yourself
sit on your hands
and let norms do their thing
no need to bleet out blood

insurrection
that’s the ticket
insurrection
that’s part of a thicket
insurrection
straight to jail
without a pause of thought

‘It Is What It Is’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock song

It Is What It Is
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

when you have no idea
what to say
when you’re in the wrong
to much dismay
when there’s nothing more
that you can articulate just say

it is what it is
it is what it is
it is what it is
it is what it is

no one will care
and no one will listen
when you you throw up your hands
and confess
that you’re in quite something
of a mess
so all you have to say
much to everyone’s dismay is

it is what it is
it is what it is
it is what it is
it is what it is

(bridge)
tell me the truth
if it is something that suits
what do you know
and when did you know it
otherwise shut the fuck up
I just don’t care
when you swear

it is what it is
it is what it is
it is what it is
it is what it is

‘The Thing About It is’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock song

The Thing About It is
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

people come and go
some will even give you some blow
but you need to find someone
someone you love
who you can keep close
when you have self doubt
about what it’s all about

the thing about it is
I just don’t know my next step
will I regret
where I place my foot
or am I overthinking it

you may need hear the truth
something you’re not ready to think
but if you don’t do it sooner
rather than later, later, later
it will bite you in ass
with all it’s sass
so what can I say, but

the thing about it is
I just don’t know my next step
will I regret
where I place my foot
or am I overthinking it

(bridge)
I know what I know
sometimes things just blow
but hear me out
without a doubt
I will be ready for
the next bout

the thing about it is
I just don’t know my next step
will I regret
where I place my foot
or am I overthinking it

‘Perfect’ — #lyrics to a #pop R&B song

Perfect
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

the oceans rise
and empires fall
but I know I’ll never get a taste
of that perfect love you have
you can spread your legs all you like
but in the end you’ll laugh
and tell me to scram
cause you’re perfect

perfect is what you are
strange as can be
what I see before me
you’re perfect
perfect
perfect
perfect

your baby is wealthy and sane
two things that only make me complain
I’m just not up to snuff
enough to see you in the buff
but dat ass has a lot of class
too bad it’s wasted on an lover
who no longer cares

perfect is what you are
strange as can be
what I see before me
you’re perfect
perfect
perfect
perfect

I’m just a broke ass mutherfucker
can never provide for you or your clan
but I promise to love you
love you better than any other
you’re weird in a way that brings lust
and confusion to the land.

perfect is what you are
strange as can be
what I see before me
you’re perfect
perfect
perfect
perfect

(bridge)
keep it to yourself
such thoughts will bring fire
and much chaos
if you don’t keep your lust
to yourself
then God only knows
what may break out

perfect is what you are
strange as can be
what I see before me
you’re perfect
perfect
perfect
perfect

‘Vortex’ — lyrics to a dance-pop-rock song

Vortex
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

in the middle of the storm that is life
I’ll be there with you till the end
the calm of the eye
will be so bold as to scold
but when the end comes again
I’ll hold you tight so there will be no fright
I love you as much as I can
even in the

vortex
the vortex of life is sight to see
the vortex is strong as can be
vortex
vortex
vortex
vortex

but I’m not willing to flee
the winds of the vortex are not so strong
that I will run from you
I’ll keep you safe as can be
whatever comes to you comes for me
don’t worry one bit
not matter how much the vortex scares
us and shit

vortex
the vortex of life is sight to see
the vortex is strong as can be
vortex
vortex
vortex
vortex

(bridge)
the peace will come
we will reside in the sun
maybe start a family
one that will enjoy a new life
one without fear of destruction
and the vortex is just the past
thought of as just a gas

vortex
the vortex of life is sight to see
the vortex is strong as can be
vortex
vortex
vortex
vortex

‘New Model Army’ — #lyrics to a pop-rock ballad

I’ve used this title before to write lyrics, but I find it an interesting and useful turn of phrase, so here’s another try.

New Model Army
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

you left me alone
to fend for myself
without even a belt to wear
or a explosive vest
but I’m back and ready to fight
with an army that knows how to bite

I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet

it’s no small feat I must admit
to assemble this cast
I’m ready to go out with a blast
your walls of fate are ready to fall
just like Constantinople before it wailed

I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet

(bridge)
I’ll lay down my arms
and embrace you with them
if you give me the truth
for once before it’s too late
but I know you too well
that’s not going to sail
so it’s the new model army
back on the attack

I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet

‘The Day America Stood Still’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock song

The Day America Stood Still
lyrics by @sheltgarner & @fatbellybella
Please give credit if you produce or perform


it was a nice spring day
much to everyone’s dismay
we all find ourselves wondering
what will happen next
is January 6th on the list
the day

America stood still
America stood still
America stood still

people talk and talk
waiting for the perp walk
the long awaited day is here
accountability is near
on the day

America stood still
America stood still
America stood still

(bridge)
activity on the street
with strangers gathered to meet
everyone is waiting for the time
when we can all grin and shine
stepping to the beat of the sound of
the day

America stood still
America stood still
America stood still
