Sorry to bother ye again, but this gives me an idea for a good
trend:
Anyone interested in having a song writing contest between us?
Maybe someone could give the most popular one written and get it
to Sting and ask him to make a tune from it,
dedicated to all his fans on this list ??? Long shot I know, but
we should give it a go!
To start with, the one below will take some beating ....

I hope this won't piss anyone off, but many of you guys are English-speakers
and I'm not. And still it's about music and lyrics by a Sting-fan so it's
kind of related to the list anyway. I just wrote some lyrics (below) and I'd
like some input on it (both language and content).
Goodbye Denise I leave you now
I leave you before we met
Goodbye is easy now
Nothing done, no regrets
Believe me my heart will never leave
It'll always lay open and bleed
Like Jesus bled on the cross for us
I'll always bleed for what never was
And in my mind you'll always stay
So in that sense we'll never part ways
I can not decide what would be the worst
To leave you right now or let you leave first
To tell you I love you and scare you away
Or just do nothing, let you lead the way
Here in my mind where you'll always stay
There are so many things you'll never say
Some of them good, but most of them bad
In my mind you'll always be glad
I'll take all my feelings, put them in a box
And I'll lock them up with a thousand locks
Always within you, they're yours' if you please
You have been blessed with a thousand keys
I'll tell you a riddle, I'll give you clue
I'll give you the answer, it's you
Take half of my mother, or my sister indeed
Switch that with the second of the line in the lead
This town will always remind me of you
That's where you fell, that's where you smiled,
That's where you smiled at me waiting in line.
How can it be
I'm in love with this idea
The idea of you being good all the way through
And the idea of me, being someone you'd see
Tell me what you think!
Cheers,
Patrik
