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 .... -----Original Message----- From: Ulrica & Patrik [mailto:lutyou@comhem.se] Sent: 11 November 2003 20:38 To: police@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Police] [OFF-TOPIC] Lyrics. 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
