‘Red Line’ — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad

Just screwing around. Need to let off some creative steam that doesn’t involve writing five novels all at once.
Red Line
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

when will I bump up
against that line in your mind
the one with all the mines
is it possible one day
that they will explode

when I cross your red line
when I cross your red line
when I cross your red line
red line
red line
red line

I know you well enough to know
that when it rains it blows
things aren’t as they seem
sometimes you’re just being mean
one day soon, you’ll hit my red line
it will all end rather sublime

(bridge)
I’m ready for peace
no more red lines between
you, you and me
lay down your arms
and I’ll lay down mine
maybe a hug is all we need
to set us free

when I cross your red line
when I cross your red line
when I cross your red line
red line
red line
red line

‘Save America’ — #lyrics to a #Pop #Rock song


Save America
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

everybody wants to point fingers
tell us how to save America
one way or another
but let me tell you
she doesn’t need saving
she’s ready to rock
like she did before

save America
hush your mouth
we don’t need your clout
to save Lady Lib-er-ty
she’s already all we need
we can live off her smile
not wallow in the mud
or worry about the blood

Save America
no need
Save America
don’t you fret
she’s already safe as can be
save America
save America
save America
is a dumb idea

(bridge)
some say we’re on
the edge of distruction
but I believe we’re ready to rock
like we did before
to save America is to ignore
what united us like in times of yore

Save America
no need
Save America
don’t you fret
she’s already safe as can be
save America
save America
save America
is a dumb idea

‘Dat Ass’ — #Lyrics To A #Rap #Pop Song (An Homage To Julia Fox)

These lyrics are very silly and dumb. But I thought it would be amusing to write some lyrics devoted to Ye’s latest muse Julia Fox

Dat Ass
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

She’s the girl for Ye
So she’s the girl for me
Gorgeous as can be
She’s got the grove
All the boys are overjoyed
When they see

Dat ass
Dat ass
Is over the top
Makes all the boy’s tongue’s
Drop
Drop
Drop

She’s more than a pretty face
She’s got all the grace
That Hollywood needs
She gets the boys on their knees
When she walks on by
Giving them a little smile
But we all know the truth
It’s dat ass that makes us choke

Dat ass
Dat ass
Is over the top
Makes all the boy’s tongue’s
Drop
Drop
Drop

(bridge)
It’s not for me to say
If she’s a fox that can slay
But trust me son
In the end we’ll all get it
‘cause she’s a babe
With a lovely face

Dat ass
Dat ass
Is over the top
Makes all the boy’s tongue’s
Drop
Drop
Drop

‘Muse’ — #Lyrics To #Pop #Ballad

Again, just letting off some creative steam. This is never going to become a song, but I like the quick hit of creativity of seeing how fast I can write lyrics that tell a story.

Muse
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

Should I write you a song
maybe right a few wrongs
or should I paint your face
with smile done with grace
our love is lovely as can be
because I know in the end
you’ll always be my
muse
muse
muse

you inspire me to greatness
as my muse, muse, muse
I would be a fool
not to thank you for gift
of being my muse, muse, muse

whenever I face a block
you drop into my bed
tell me of something you’ve read
I’m instantly inspired
to write a new song or even
a novel if I have the time
you’re my muse, muse muse

you inspire me to greatness
as my muse, muse, muse
I would be a fool
not to thank you for gift
of being my muse, muse, muse

(bridge)
don’t you fret
not one bit
I’ll always give you credit
even if we won’t talk
because of a snit
calm your fears
’cause you’re my muse

you inspire me to greatness
as my muse, muse, muse
I would be a fool
not to thank you for gift
of being my muse, muse, muse

‘Safe Space’ #Lyrics To A #Pop R&B Song

In my mind, this would be put to the type of music that Jhene Aiko sings her songs to. I really like her vibe.

Safe Space
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

I have a safe space for you babe
Next to me under the sheets
Of my warm, warm bed
It’s up to you and your head
If you come and play or stay away
But can always know you have a
Safe space
Safe space
Safe space

A safe space is waiting for you
By my side with a smile
You will never feel fear again
While your legs are tangled with mine
The sheets between us intertwined
Just remember babe the warmth you’ll feel
In your safe space
Safe space
Safe space
Safe space

(bridge)
The world is a terror
Scares each one of us it’s true
But don’t feel blue babe
Together we’ll make it to the truth
Holding each other safe
In our safe space

Safe space
Safe space
Safe space
Safe space

‘4:30’ — #Lyrics To An R&B #Pop Song

Just screwing around. I like the idea of someone not knowing if 4:30 a.m. is late night or early morning.
4:30
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

Is it night or is it morning
Light another cigarette
‘cause I don’t know and I don’t care
All that I know is you were my love
Now I’m up all night with fear
Thinking maybe it’s all over

it’s 4:30 a.m.
and here I am again
looking at the clock
and worried
about the day to come
4:30 a.m.
4:30 a.m.
4:30 a.m.

I’m in mourning this morning
For our love that may have ended
But I’m not sure as to our fate
Will it finally be rubbed out
With a tug or will it return
Like in the past when a hug

(bridge)
By 4:30 p.m. you could be back
Tell me it was all a lie
Your love has returned
As have you into my bedroom
Then I awake at 4:30 a.m.
And you’re gone again

it’s 4:30 a.m.
and here I am again
looking at the clock
and worried
about the day to come
4:30 a.m.
4:30 a.m.
4:30 a.m.

‘Delusional’ — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock Song

Just screwing around. The word “delusional” is an easy lyric writing prompt because it’s like so many other words syllable-wise.
Delusional
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you perform or produce

Would it make me a crank
If I looked at you and winked
Know you’re out of my league
But I’ll try my best
Wear my heart on my sleave
All I ask is you don’t call me
Delusional
Delusional
Delusional

Delusional to think
You could hold my hand in the street
Delusional to believe
You and I could be a thing
Make others envious with your love
All we have to do is give fate a shove

Baby, I’m as sane as can be
You and I could be a fling
One you’ll never forget it’s true
What’s a girl like you to do
When a guy like me bits his lip
Thinking we can ship
Just don’t call me
Delusional
Delusional
Delusional

Delusional to think
You could hold my hand in the street
Delusional to believe
You and I could be a thing
Make others envious with your love
All we have to do is give fate a shove

(bridge)
Tell myself I need to be centered
Keep things in reality
But it’s tough as can be
When I see a bit of your thigh
When you in a skirt walk on by
One day you’ll be mine
Or am I being delusional

Delusional to think
You could hold my hand in the street
Delusional to believe
You and I could be a thing
Make others envious with your love
All we have to do is give fate a shove

‘Oh, Paula’ #Lyrics To A Pop Song About Paulina Porizkov

Just being silly. Paulina Porizkova’s talk about not being able to get laid because she hasn’t had any work done is the hook for this one. I just like writing poems that are intended to be sung.

Oh, Paula
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

Oh, Paula hear me well
You’re still a babe and swell
Don’t let the boys give you grief
Your body still leaves me weak
I break my back when I see you
Knowing you’re without a man

Oh, Paula
You don’t have to roam
Oh, Paula it’s a shame
That you think you’re lame
Oh, Paula
Oh, Paula
Oh, Paula

Wanna wake up with you
Watch the sun rise
Knowing the love that we have
We’ll be lovers it’s true
The kind that will make history
You’ll be my muse
And I’ll be your man

Oh, Paula
You don’t have to roam
Oh, Paula it’s a shame
That you think you’re lame
Oh, Paula
Oh, Paula
Oh, Paula

(bridge)
Why are we both
Separate and alone
When we could be together
With a kiss and a moan
You’re a woman and I’m a man
We can fill out the plan

Oh, Paula
You don’t have to roam
Oh, Paula it’s a shame
That you think you’re lame
Oh, Paula
Oh, Paula
Oh, Paula

‘Pete Davidson’ #Lyrics to a #Punk Song


I’ve done a punk song about Pete Davidson before, but he continues to be an interesting public figure, so I thought I’d try again. He seems perfect for a meta-punk song.

Pete Davidson
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

he’s got a big cock I swear
he must to get the play he does
you already know his name I’m sure
see him on your TV set every Saturday
it’s

Pete Davidson
Pete Davidson
HEY!
HEY!
HEY!
Pete Davidson
Pete Davidson
Pete Davidson

things could be better
they could be worse
but keep your baby away
from Pete Davidson
’cause he’s got BDE
when the winter becomes the spring
he’ll be on the prowel
ready to steal your girl

Pete Davidson
Pete Davidson
HEY!
HEY!
HEY!
Pete Davidson
Pete Davidson
Pete Davidson

(bridge)
he’s sweet as can be
give your girl’s mom flowers
what can you do he might even
seduce you
’cause he’s Pete
Pete Davidson
HEY!
HEY!
HEY!

‘Free Woman Energy’ — #Lyrics to a #Pop #Rock Song

Just screwing around. This is a homage to Britney Spears saying she’s got “free woman energy” now. I find writing lyrics very relaxing and today has been a depressing day, so, lulz.
Free Woman Energy
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

she’s free now of the past
can make your own decisions
no one to tell her what to do
no longer a slave for you
’cause she’s got her papers
with

free wonman energy
never felt better
free woman energy
never felt better
she’s ready for the next step
free as can be
free as can be
free as can be

people wanted to keep her down
all they wanted was a frown
but things have changed
no doubt about it
she’s no longer under their thumb
she’s free as can be
no longer on the run

free wonman energy
never felt better
free woman energy
never felt better
she’s ready for the next step
free as can be
free as can be
free as can be

(bridge)
the past could come back
it’s always a risk
bondage could return
in the dead of night
but don’t you fret
she’ll return on a bet

to her
free woman energy
free woman energy
free woman energy
free woman energy
