Cigarettes, Beer & Tears
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

the pain inside never stops
the years pass on by
cigarettes, beer and tears
is all I got
long for your love
but it’s gone for good
as maybe it should

cigarettes, beer and tears
cigarettes, beer and tears
are my only friends I’m afraid
how long does it have to be this way
cigarettes, beer and tears
cigarettes, beer and tears

our love was once strong
but it was all a lie
you’re gone I have to admit
with a painful sigh
won’t regret another drink
while I have another smoke
the tears keep falling
into my beer

cigarettes, beer and tears
cigarettes, beer and tears
are my only friends I’m afraid
how long does it have to be this way
cigarettes, beer and tears
cigarettes, beer and tears

(bridge)
I was sober once
had you by my side
those were days of joy
now they’re gone I’m afraid
all I have is
cigarettes, beer and tears
cigarettes, beer and tears

cigarettes, beer and tears
cigarettes, beer and tears
are my only friends I’m afraid
how long does it have to be this way
cigarettes, beer and tears
cigarettes, beer and tears

‘Don’t Look Back’ – #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Don’t Look Back
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

keep your eyes on the prize
if you look back
you’ll taste salt
the bitterness will get you
and you’ll just be a pile
of guilt in the sand

don’t look back
is my refrain
don’t look back
the past is receding fast
history can’t be changed
believe me I’ve tried
don’t look back
don’t look back
don’t look back

in my dreams it’s all fixed
your love returns in a second
then I awake and have a drink
guilt for what could have been
is going to kill me in the end

don’t look back
is my refrain
don’t look back
the past is receding fast
history can’t be changed
believe me I’ve tried
don’t look back
don’t look back
don’t look back

(bridge)
the focus on the present
knowing that’s the right way to be
but my grief arises from soul
overcomes me yet again
and again and again

don’t look back
is my refrain
don’t look back
the past is receding fast
history can’t be changed
believe me I’ve tried
don’t look back
don’t look back
don’t look back

‘Hand of Fate’ –#lyrics to a #pop #rock song

Hand of Fate
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

don’t know what to say
much to my dismay
we all get it in the end
all we can do is smile
knowing how it all ends is in
the hand of fate

hand of fate is what I’m saying
it’s all around us in control
hand of fate is what I knowing
it throws us into the sky
when our time on earth passes on by
hand of fate
hand of fate
hand of fate

we’re here for a good time
not for a long time
we can’t fight the hand of fate
all we can do is strike a match
to illuminate the truth

hand of fate is what I’m saying
it’s all around us in control
hand of fate is what I knowing
it throws us into the sky
when our time on earth passes on by
hand of fate
hand of fate
hand of fate

(bridge)
our destiony isn’t set
I want to believe it’s true
is it possibly that I control
how it all ends
I fear that’s a lie
the hand of fate is too strong

hand of fate is what I’m saying
it’s all around us in control
hand of fate is what I knowing
it throws us into the sky
when our time on earth passes on by
hand of fate
hand of fate
hand of fate

‘Wait Till The End’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock song

Wait Till The End
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

I adore you more than most
but you’re not just a ghost
won’t bore you with the details
the details are to sad to recall
my life isn’t over yet
let’s wait till the end

wait till the end
then will know how the truth
wait till the end
did it all work out
or was it all just shouting
cause by too much doubt

people tell me it’s over
that I should move on
mooning over you is a waist
that I need to face the truth
but I’m still waiting for you
waiting till the end

wait till the end
then will know how the truth
wait till the end
did it all work out
or was it all just shouting
cause by too much doubt

(bridge)
beginnings are meant to end
give me a head start
maybe I can dart around you
like a fish
and you’ll give me a kiss

wait till the end
then will know how the truth
wait till the end
did it all work out
or was it all just shouting
cause by too much doubt

‘Late Night Love Story’ — #lyrics to an R&B #ballad

Late Night Love Story
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

bodies intertwined late at night
we’re working overtime
during the overnight shift
the smell of our sweat fills the air
each move is another dare

do you have it in you
to give me all your love
do you have it in your heart
to write this story’s climax

let’s flip the script
you start from the bottom
work your way to a stop
we’re just in the first act
things can only get better
if we work together

do you have it in you
to give me all your love
do you have it in your heart
to write this story’s climax

(bridge)
no writer’s block
all we hear is the clock
go tick-tock-tick-tock
when this is over
we’ll want a squel

do you have it in you
to give me all your love
do you have it in your heart
to write this story’s climax

‘Delusional’ — #Lyrics to a #Pop #Rock #Ballad

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

I have a lot of dreams
may come across as a jerk
but I mean well in my heart
yet that doesn’t stop her from saying
that I’m a

delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
good heart good heart

we yell and fight maybe even bite
she wonders aloud if we’re still in love
all I can say is I hope so bitch
she looks at me and cries
you’ll never again be between my thighs
because you’re a

delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
good heart good heart

(bridge)
it once was not like this
I was centered and she was sober
we loved each other in the real world
not just in my dreams
but that’s all over now and I’m just

delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
good heart good heart

‘Old Soul’ — #Lyrics to a #Dance #Pop Song

Again, I see this as a radio friendly dance pop song.

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

she says she has an old soul
wise before her years
but her beauty brings me to tears
the way she swives those hips
before giving me a kiss

old soul
you’ll always be young to me
old soul
don’t wait until it’s too late
old soul
you and me are meant to date

her favorite movie is enternal
leaves her waiting for the sunshine
loves classic rock and hippie folk
but when she walks my way
all she does is leave me in dismay
with the way she sways

old soul
you’ll always be young to me
old soul
don’t wait until it’s too late
old soul
you and me are meant to date

(bridge)
I could fall for someone
more immature
hope it all falls into place
but what’s the point
when she wants to sit with me
in the dark and touch my face

old soul
you’ll always be young to me
old soul
don’t wait until it’s too late
old soul
you and me are meant to date

‘Sticky Situation’ — #Lyrics to a #Dance #Pop #Rock Song

I see this as just your typical modern dance pop song. The beat would be your standard issue 2022 backbeat. I got the inspiration for this from a Alexa Chung tweet.

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

it’s all so complicated
two old souls
wandering this world
hand in hand
wondering where it all ends
things are complicated between us
is this love
or just a sticky situation

it’s a sticky situation it’s true
let me lick my fingers and think
it’s a sticky situation it’s true
give me a kiss before we all sink
it’s a sticky situation it’s true
sticky situation
sticky situation
sticky situation

people come and go it’s true
but you’re special
different than the others
but we find ourselves
in a situation that’s sticky
it could go either way

it’s a sticky situation it’s true
let me lick my fingers and think
it’s a sticky situation it’s true
give me a kiss before we all sink
it’s a sticky situation it’s true
sticky situation
sticky situation
sticky situation

(bridge)
if we’re not careful
it’ll all dry up
leaving us remorse and regret
nothing on our minds but fret
so let me caress your thigh
we can get all wet
waiting for the next step

it’s a sticky situation it’s true
let me lick my fingers and think
it’s a sticky situation it’s true
give me a kiss before we all sink
it’s a sticky situation it’s true
sticky situation
sticky situation
sticky situation

‘Mind Reader’ — #Lyrics to a #Dance #Pop #Rock Song

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

she’s on the scene looking at me
giving me the eye
takes me by the hand
wanting to give me a crown
something in her eyes
makes me wonder is she
a mind reader

mind reader
use your power well
mind reader
don’t destroy me like you can
mind reader
use your power well

who am I to complain
there’s no shame in her game
she gives good mind
makes you turn on a dime
she’s smart as they come
’cause she can read your mind

mind reader
use your power well
mind reader
don’t destroy me like you can
mind reader
use your power well

(bridge)
her thoughts are clean
difficult to understand
if I could read her mind
what might I glean

mind reader
use your power well
mind reader
don’t destroy me like you can
mind reader
use your power well

‘Trapped In A Corner’ –#Lyrics to a #pop #rock #song

Trapped In A Corner
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

thrown against the wall
I can’t believe you have the gall
what am I going to do now
I have no plan
you’ve gotten me worked up
trapped in a corner

trapped in a corner
not what I want
trapped in a corner
struggling to get out
trapped in a corner
trapped in a corner

you give me a wink
make me think I’m free
then you push me again
just want mey freedom
from this corner I’m in
I’m ready to fight back
trapped in a corner

trapped in a corner
not what I want
trapped in a corner
struggling to get out
trapped in a corner
trapped in a corner

(bridge)
streach out my legs
go for a walk
hoping of clearing me mind
I can shine without you
it would be fine
but once I come home
I realize I’m

trapped in a corner
not what I want
trapped in a corner
struggling to get out
trapped in a corner
trapped in a corner
