‘Owned’ — #Lyrics To A Dance Pop Song

This is me vaguely talking about how conservatives will do just about anything — even be self-destructive — to “own the libs.”

Owned

oh the things I’ll do
to show you who’s boss
I’ll burn my bridges before I cross
leaving me with a burden of my own
sell my soul so I won’t be

owned
(liberation)
owned
(liberation)
owned
(liberation)

I’m free as can be with my love
liberal in spirit
watch me throw the dice
no one has ownership over me ’cause
no matter what I’ll never be

owned
(liberation)
owned
(liberation)
owned
(liberation)

[bridge]
going to plant my feet
in this free soil tonight
have to conserve my strength
’cause there’s liberation to have
when dawn arrives

owned
(liberation)
owned
(liberation)
owned
(liberation)

‘Attention’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Song

This is my attempt at one of those vaguely political songs that people like Katy Perry sing.

Attention
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

sip my tea
watching anarchy
are you with me?
our north star seems so far away
truth is obscured by events
my heart breaks watching fate slip by

grab my hand and let me say
with all sincerity

if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
wake up

we’re living in darkness at noon
sleepwalkers all around me
agendas turning with the earth
the glow of their eyes shines bright
dark as night I’m afraid
how this all ends is anyone’s guess
the last thing I can do is dance

grab my hand and let me say
with all sincerity

if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
wake up

[bridge]
don’t tell me to calm down
I’m not a clown
these tears are real
my rage comes from the heart
the only wall that exist
we’re going to tear down

I’m not a slave
have a mind of my own
people we tie our shoes
be prepared to beat the drum
keep the masters on the run

grab my hand and let me say
with all sincerity

if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
if you’re not angry
you’re not paying attention
wake up

‘Hipster Coffee Shop’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Rock Song

I just feel like telling a story in verse, so you get this. No one cares about anything I do. I just sometimes like being creative for creative sake.

Hipster Coffee Shop
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

wake up and brush my hair
open the door with out a care
people walk on by with a smile
I’m going to leave my problems a mile away
’cause I’m on my way
on my way to my safe space

hipster coffee shop
hipster coffee shop
hipster coffee shop

don’t blink an eye
’cause we’re all going to die
the coffee is cheap
the girls will give you a smile
maybe even let you have a moan
if you sound smart enough
but you’ve got to have the goods
if you’re going to make it at the

hipster coffee shop
hipster coffee shop
hipster coffee shop

[bridge]
don’t you fret
I’ll grow out of it
I’ll make my folks proud
put on a suit and tie
my tax breaks will come
I’ll leave the coffee behind

hipster coffee shop
hipster coffee shop
hipster coffee shop

great things come to those who wait
so when my coffee arrives
I’ll go out side and sigh
look out into the sky
enjoy my moment in the sun
my moment in the sun at the

hipster coffee shop

‘I Has A Sad’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Song

Just feel like writing song lyrics.

I Has A Sad
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

you got another girl
I see you walking by on the street
makes my heart break
in my mind we’re holding hands
making plans
but for the time being I’m afraid
I has a sad

don’t keep breaking my heart
I feeling sad while she’s glad
do you even know the fun we could have
I has a sad
I has a sad
I has a sad

we’re set to always just be friend
it might make you glad
but it makes me mad
knowing we’re just right
bet your life
take you far away to heaven’s way
until then, though

don’t keep breaking my heart
I feeling sad while she’s glad
do you even know the fun we could have
I has a sad
I has a sad
I has a sad

[bridge]
bring me joy boy
be mind quick as can be
linger when you see me
be my baby

I know it’s just a dream
not meant for me
I’m wide awake it’s true
want to drink together with you
what else can I do

I has a sad
I has a sad
I has a sad

‘We’re Not Done’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Rock Song

My attempt at a Taylor Swift type song.

We’re Not done
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

seems like you think we’re about to part
but you’re all bark no bite
I look into your eyes and sigh
if you leave I’m afraid I might die
I lean into body and whisper

we’re not done
not by any stretch
my imagination says I’m right

we’re not done
no not at all
though you have the gall to say
you see the end as our fate
I want you to know
we’re going to still date
we’re not done
we’re not done
we’re not done

now I see a tear in your eye
I know you’re full of passion
feeling wronged
but give us a chance babe
we’ve still got time

we’re not done
not by any stretch
my imagination says I’m right

we’re not done
no not at all
though you have the gall to say
you see the end as our fate
I want you to know
we’re going to still date
we’re not done
we’re not done
we’re not done

[bridge]
if we’re done
I hope you’ll remember
remember what we had
don’t be sad if the end comes
remember the phone we had

there’s nothing more to say
you’re mind until the sun goes dark
my heart is locked and your inside
if you’re not by my side I just might die

we’re not done
we’re not done
we’re not done
we’re not done

‘No Deal’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song About ‘No Deal’ Brexit

Given how disastrous “No Deal” Brexit is likely to be, there should be a rock song about it. This just exists because I feel like writing a story in verse. Oh well. No one cares.

No Deal
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

the winds of change and chance
crash on our every glance
May’s flowers are wilting hard
soft as can be will be our landing
(she says)
all I can say with little hope is
no deal

what’s that you say
wouldn’t want it any other way?
No Deal is the choice of the people
don’t cry when it all goes down
when No Deal happens
there’ll be smiles all around

No Deal
is on its way
No deal
you wouldn’t want it
any other way
No Deal
No Deal
No Deal

the Russians lurk around the corner
give you a boner I can tell
John Bull’s swelled with pride
as to how bad things are getting along
maybe if John was alive and kicking
this disaster wouldn’t have happened
but he’s dead and we’re licking our wounds

No Deal
is on its way
No deal
you wouldn’t want it
any other way
No Deal
No Deal
No Deal

[bridge]
give me a deal
or no exit at all
turn back the clock
I ask
if I may have the gall

it’ll be a bumpy ride
to the bottom I fear
everything we hold dear
may go down the drain
come out the other side in China
where deals are made

No Deal
No Deal
No Deal

‘moonmoon’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Ballad

No one cares about anything I write. Just treading water while I psych myself up to write on my novel. This would be a slow pop ballad.

moonmoon
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

spinning out of control
real, real slow you can see
a moon on up high an alien sky
what’s that I see but a moon with a moon

moonmoon
moonmoon
moonmoon

all we need is some hope
maybe use a telescope to look into the void
how did we get into this shape
with us circling each other like this
like two moons out in space

moonmoon
moonmoon
moonmoon

[bridge]
back here on earth
my foot is solid on the ground
gravity weighs on my soul
I feel like it’s taking its toll

moonmoon
moonmoon
moonmoon

‘How It Works’ — #Lyrics To A R&B Song

This meme originally comes from a TV commercial. But whatever. No one listens to me. No one cares.

How It Works
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

see you walk by in the dark club
rub your lips together till their wet
can see it in your strut
that you got lust in your heart
put your had on my side and I sigh
as I say

that’s not how it works
that’s not how any of this works
that’s not how it works
that’s not how any of this works

think you’re going to get me in your crib
you believe you’re living in my head
but let me be clear babe
you’re got it all wrong
I’m my own person it’s true
so before you make your move let me be clear

that’s not how it works
that’s not how any of this works
that’s not how it works
that’s not how any of this works

[bridge]
work it slow
give me room of my own
maybe you’ll touch heaven soon enough
or I may kick your into hell
for you to dwell on your sins

that’s not how it works
that’s not how any of this works
that’s not how it works
that’s not how any of this works

‘This Is How It Ends’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Song

No one cares about anything I do or say. They might get angry, but otherwise, no one cares.

This Is How It Ends
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

I look across the sea of fire
got my gasoline while you’ve got matches
this is how it ends
this is how it ends
this is how it ends

people want to tell me it’ll end with a bang
a shag late at night after a fight
rag me all you like I say
it’ll be your dismay when get my way
the world’s warming up fast
this is how it ends

this is how it ends
I’m telling you the truth
the seas will rise
there will be one last touch of the thigh
this is how it ends
this is how it ends
this is how it ends

[bridge]
wish we could cool down
have a nice chat about our love
but as you can tell that’s through
this is how it ends
this is how it ends

don’t you fret one bit love
we’ll always have memories
might have to wing it in the end
’cause this is how it ends
we’re all doomed
but at least we can look back
on what once did exist

this is how it ends
this is how it ends
this is how it ends

‘Blood Test’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Song

Just screwing around. I like this title.

Blood Test
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

when we fell in love we swore a blood oath
we’d be together no matter what
times change as they always do
now it’s just me and you
an open door with your name on it
will you keep your vow
or will you break fail your

blood test
tell me the truth
blood test
wanna know your answer to the
blood test

love shouldn’t be a battle
but everyone is keeping score
is this a test we can handle
what’s the truth I want to know
do you have your sharpened pencil
’cause we have a test to take
a blood test

blood test
tell me the truth
blood test
wanna know your answer to the
blood test

[bridge]
when this is done
we’ll be together again
we’ll count the cost
know it was worth it
(maybe)

tell me the truth
blood test
wanna know your answer to the
blood test

blood test
