‘Bad Art Friend:’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock Song


I’m just letting off some steam, like I always am whenever I write lyrics. I have no idea what I’m doing, but writing lyrics really quick is a lot of fun and is very relaxing.

Bad Art Friend
Lyrics by Shelt Garner

bad art friend
bad art friend
bad art friend

here I am styling
all the while you’re dying
to tell me about your deeds
to help the sick
you won’t give up
until you get in your lick

in the end
you’re nothing but
nothing but a
bad art friend
bad art friend
bad art friend

I try my best
to avoid your serve
but you’re too good for me
and not even my swerve
can avoid your demands
that I tell you all I know

(bridge)
it’s too good to be true
the things you do to woo
you think I’m a hack
with no talent or class
but I know that’s not so

in the end
you’re nothing but
nothing but a
bad art friend
bad art friend
bad art friend

‘Red October’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock Power Ballad


This is my “fuck you” to the fucking Qanon idiots who think something magical is going to happen as a part of “Red October.” Fuck you guys.
Red October
lyrics by Shelt Garner

my blood beats red in my veins
full of my pain
but I can’t complain now
it’s all my fault and shame
that when the time came
I let it all slip away
when blue September became
red October
red October
red October

the throbbing of my heart
reminds me that you can be a tart
but I always loved you for your spunk
cause you were my rock girl
even when I was your country guy
now all we have is red October between us
do you even remember what we had
on those chilly red October nights

but now it’s all memory
red October is no more
red October is no more
even though I still adore you
I only bore you

but differences came between us
we loved each other until the end
if only I had been more clever
maybe our love would have lasted
longer than one red October
red October is no more
red October is no more
red October is no more
red October is no more

(bridge)
November is here
we all give thanks for those close
I wonder who you’re with
if you rmemeber our red October
that was full of joy
befor it ended too soon

but now it’s all memory
red October is no more
red October is no more
even though I still adore you
I only bore you

‘Daydrinking’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Country Song


Just relaxing. I see this as a modern pop country song. I have no idea what I’m doing, but it’s nice to see if I can tell a story in a poem that’s meant to be sung.

Daydrinking
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

they say daydrinking is a red flag
but if you believe that you’ve been had
to me it’s all I can do
with my heart still stuck on you
’cause if it won’t for daydrinking
the my heart would never let set
the sun on our love
on that you can bet

excuse me while I order another
well before five
if I look at my watch
I can only smile
it’s time for another round
another round of
daydrinking
daydrinking
daydrinking

girls come and go
that’s for sho
but you’re the that fills me
with me Jack as much as regret
it’s five o’clock somwhere
at least that’s what they say
but I think I’ll just sit here
and stew in my pain

excuse me while I order another
well before five
if I look at my watch
I can only smile
it’s time for another round
another round of
daydrinking
daydrinking
daydrinking

(bridge)
I’m going to sober up
stop full stop
I’m going to drink only at night
let the sober darkness give me a fright
but then I reflect on our lost love
remember why I, why I love
daydrinking
daydrinking
daydrinking

excuse me while I order another
well before five
if I look at my watch
I can only smile
it’s time for another round
another round of
daydrinking
daydrinking
daydrinking

‘Come Play, Tay’ — #lyrics To A #Pop #Rock Song


It’s comical how useless writing these lyrics is. But I honestly do enjoy writing “a poem meant to be sung” really fast. It’s a pleasant little distraction. This one is about the need for Taylor Swift to be a bit more…saucy with her public persona. Enjoy.

Come Play, Tay
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

the water’s warm
of that I have proof
don’t worry if you get wet
we’ll just laugh out loud
you’re a sweet as can be
never been kissed, it seems
you need to come play
enjoy the sun and play

come play, Tay-Tay
come play, Tay-Tay
we’re lying around
in the sun
come play, Tay-Tay
maybe give us a shout

we know you have it in you
we’ve seen the pictures
it’s all true in our hearts
it’s real it’s all real
that you’re friends
are ready to bop about
why don’t you come play, Tay?

come play, Tay-Tay
come play, Tay-Tay
we’re lying around
in the sun
come play, Tay-Tay
maybe give us a shout

(bridge)
but you know your roll
stay in your hole
you’re as successful as can be
no need to listen to a fool
like me, like me

come play, Tay-Tay
come play, Tay-Tay
we’re lying around
in the sun
come play, Tay-Tay
maybe give us a shout

‘Red Flag’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock song


I’m in the mood to have the crack-pipe hit of creativity that comes from writing pop song lyrics that will never be preformed. It helps I’m feeling kind of lit at the moment. Cheers!

Red Flag
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

they say I’m covered in flags
they’re all red they deem
but there’s one they whine one
one they harp on
and that’s

day drinking (it’s a red flag)
day drinking (it’s a red flag)
don’t wanna datecha
just wanna hatecha
for your
red flag
red flag
red flag

who am I to say
if they’re right or wrong
as long as I get laid
then it’s all a lulz
cause I know in my heart
I’m the kinda person
who won’t fretcha
even when I’m

day drinking (it’s a red flag)
day drinking (it’s a red flag)
don’t wanna datecha
just wanna hatecha
for your
red flag
red flag
red flag

(bridge)
one day when I’m sober
my flag will be green
people will deem
me suitable to roll with
but until then I’m doomed
just to wave my
red flag
red flag
red flag

day drinking (it’s a red flag)
day drinking (it’s a red flag)
don’t wanna datecha
just wanna hatecha
for your
red flag
red flag
red flag

‘Rooms in the First House’ #Pop #Rock #Lyrics Inspired By The Name Of Anna Marie Tendler’s Art Showing



I’m just letting off some steam when it comes to this. I need to buy a guitar and actually try to see if I can write lyrics that might, in some way actually be preformed. But I want to buy a nice Nikon camera instead, so, this is just me screwing around. It’s a quick creative fix.

Rooms in the First House
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

this home was once my heart
now I just don’t know where to start
I dart from room to room
the rooms in the first house
the rooms in the first house
the rooms in the first house

I feel lost
and cast about in these rooms
thinking of how we used to laugh
and how all I can do now is cry
at all the lies I was told
they’re a sight to behold

the rooms in the first house
bloom with my tears now
when will it all end I cry
is there nothing left to say
but I have to live with my grief
in the
in the
rooms in the first house
rooms in the first house
rooms in the first house

(bridge)
give me a second to clear my thoughts
the second time is the charm
or maybe the third
will you come back to play pretend
I just don’t know
will this grief fade
maybe if I get laid

but for now I reside in the
rooms in the first house
rooms in the first house
rooms in the first house

‘Once Was:’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad


Just screwing around. I feel inspired by the names of Anna Marie Tendler’s photos about her breakup. That’s all that’s going on. Lulz, it’s not like anyone cares. And those who do care think I’m a deranged Internet freak crank.

Once Was
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

we had dreams for this room
it’s sad by true (now)
but those dreams are dead
ended with a blow to the head (heart)
now I spin my time staring into space
wondering about
a room that once was
a room that once was
a room that once was

I sigh
flick the light off and on
wondering where to begin
or where to end
the light shines into this room
this room that once was
this room that once was
this room that once was
but not into my heart
I’m doomed for the time being
to dwell on how bad things
have become in this
room that once was

(bridge)
things are better
I tell my self
I’m living in the present
having some presence of mind
not going to look into the past
then I have to confess about

this room that once was
this room that once was
this room that once was

‘Nothing Matters:’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock Song


I’m just screwing around. I hope to get all the very pointless and very moot urges to write song lyrics out of my body tonight for the time being.

Nothing Matters
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters

the world is tatters
we’re fighting against catastrophe
but we’re too blind to see
that everything that matters
is slipping away into the sea

I would tell you to scream
tell you to fight
but we’ve made a decision I’m afraid
as a people, as a nation that
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters

so what happens next
you ask with baited breath
come close and I’ll whisper in your ear
everything you hold dear will quiver
when those who think they’re right
point thair bow at our hearts because
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters

(bridge)
everything matters
we’re just to afraid to admit
that we’re all full of shit
sit a spell and let me tell you
what I think and what matters to me
love is the most important
but cruely is the point
now what

lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters

‘Girl In The L.A. Snow:’ #lyrics To #Pop #Rock Song


Some people tweet interesting Zillow finds, I write lyrics to songs that will never be performed. Something about the quick creative hit of writing a poem meant to be sung is very relaxing. Anyway, this one comes from me wondering how Anna Marie Tendler could possibly be in the snow in L.A. Of course, duh, she wasn’t — the picture is set to be DISPLAYED in L.A. Anyway, this one turned out well.

Girl In The L.A. Snow
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

sliding in the snow
she struggles with what she sees
snow in L.A. doesn’t come easy
and neither does she
but here it is all around her
snow in L.A.
snow in L.A.
snow in L.A.

she’s wearing red
thinking of the men
who want to get her in bed
the snow is cold in her hands
but she feels so warn between her legs
the heat of the moment
being just a girl in the snow
is making her hot
don’t you know

staring into the whiteness of scene
this is just her world
but she can see, see, see
no barns to fear or painted red
she’s the artist of her own life
’cause she’s just a girl in
the snow in L.A.
the snow in L.A.
the snow in L.A.

(bridge)
she feels the summer in her soul
her heart is the sun
it’s on a roll
the darkness of grief will flee
just give her some time to meet it
head to head
so she doesn’t think of him
giving head

she’s just a girl in
the snow in L.A.
the snow in L.A.
the snow in L.A.
the snow in L.A.

‘All Crushed Out:’ #Pop #Rock #Ballad #Lyrics


Jesus Christ no one cares about me at the moment. But this is a pleasant way to relax this evening — trying to convey what the pictures of Anna Marie Tendler make me feel in verse. No one cares. But the titles of her photos do lend themselves to be song titles.

All Crushed Out
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

my heart still beats
but my soul is crushed out
the blood still flows
just as fast
but my heart’s just not in it
everything is smashed
everything is
all crushed out
all crushed out

crushed, crushed

don’t know what happens next
I haven’t got a guess
when you were by my side
I would let out a sigh
but now just cry, cry, cry
if you ever return what will I do
everything is smashed
everything is
all crushed out
all crushed out

(bridge)
put it all back together
I pray to heaven above
maybe if I rub a lamp
everything will return
to the way it once was
but I know that’s just crap

everything is smashed
everything is
all crushed out
all crushed out
all crushed out
all crushed out
