‘Hard Pass’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song

I just like telling stories in verse and I have a little bit of time on my hands.

Hard Pass
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

he’s running for the hills
’cause he’s just a shill
giving us the long con as he always does
all I’ve got is one answer
and that’s
hard pass

don’t give me that shit
not even one little bit
hard pass
hard pass
hard pass

the zombies do their walk
’cause they know they’re all the talk
expect me to buy in to their lies
but that’s not my type of class
I’m going to balk at this point
it’s a hard pass

don’t give me that shit
not even one little bit
hard pass
hard pass
hard pass

[bridge]
come back when you’re ready
to give me something steady
don’t really expect to be
anything better than bad you see
hard pass

don’t give me that shit
not even one little bit
hard pass
hard pass
hard pass

‘Pattaya’ — #Lyrics To A Rock Song

This is based on a true story. Make of it what you will. It’s meant to be a rock song like Pulp’s Common People.

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

knew what I was doing once I got off the bus
made a beeline to my hotel
it was cheap as hell
put on my swimming attire
hoping to retire on the beach
aspiring to no good
’cause what else can you do when you’re
on the beach at
Pattaya

Pattaya is where it’s at
the girls are loose and pretty
and that’s a fact
Pattaya is no joke
a great place to go if you’re a bloke
Pattaya
Pattaya
Pattaya

saw two babes in the sun
bathing like two peas in a pod
starlight shone down on us all
they were showing their goods
birds were chirping
bees were buzzing
as padded over their way since I’m a lad

began by asking one if she wanted a drink
looking at me over her shades
she gave me a look made me think I would get laid
juice she said
off went with a scoot

Pattaya is where it’s at
the girls are loose and pretty
and that’s a fact
Pattaya is no joke
a great place to go if you’re a bloke
Pattaya
Pattaya
Pattaya

[bridge]
I was so excited
thought my fate was set
she would be mine that night
you could bet

of course wouldn’t you know
a guy swung by on a crusade
also looking to get laid
he had more dough than I could ever make
before you could lick your lips
both the girls had split
leaving me watching them go
on the beach at Pattaya

Pattaya is where it’s at
the girls are loose and pretty
and that’s a fact
Pattaya is no joke
a great place to go if you’re a bloke
Pattaya
Pattaya
Pattaya

‘Little Black Dress’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Ballad

Oh, I just like writing stories in verse. I have no idea how good I am. I’m probably pretty bad. I definitely need a co-writer and a producer / composer if I were to be serious about turning this into an actual song.

Little Black Dress
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

take a drag off my cigar
my tumbler of whisky almost tumbles out of my hand
as you walk in and amaze
my praise is my lustful gaze
’cause you got it going on in that

little black dress
come sit next to me
’cause you’re driving me wild in that
little black dress
little black dress

wanna caress your thigh
while I talk to the guys
the warmth of your skin
should be considered a sin
tonight we’re going to be fallen angels
’cause you got on your

little black dress
come sit next to me
’cause you’re driving me wild in that
little black dress
little black dress

[bridge]
white is the color of the good
if that’s the case we’re on a roll
’cause we know the score
your little black dress is make me bad
but we’re going to be oh so good

little black dress
come sit next to me
’cause you’re driving me wild in that
little black dress
little black dress

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

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
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

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
hipster coffee shop
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

‘Rouge Killers’ — #Lyrics To An R&B Pop Song

It is completely pointless for me to write lyrics, but sometimes I feel like doing it as a treat so here you go. Trump has a way with words, or at least thinking up song titles and concepts.

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

they roam the streets and the clubs
looking for people like you and me
they want to drain us dry of love of this world

rouge killers of love
in between the sheets
always wanting your deets
are you kidding me?

looking all fly
wanting to be your guy
they bite their lip
before giving you the slip
they’re the ones mamma warned you about
the lie, lie and lie

rouge killers of love
in between the sheets
always wanting your deets
are you kidding me?

[bridge]
need someone safe
to but me back together
why does it have to be so rough
when will I finally get enough?

stop kidding me I beg
rough killers are in your head
faking you out with their doubt
making you feel like you’re right
to be left out

rouge killers of love
in between the sheets
always wanting your deets
are you kidding me?

rouge killers
rouge killers
rouge killers
rouge killers of love

‘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
