Who's laughing now?

[StevieM]

Just a few words again, still can't play well enough, but I'm practising as much as I can

This was really written  about ( or for) my Daughter, who's just managed to get out of a 4yr relationship, the words say it all.

Anyone fancy having a go and doing something with it, if it's any good? I was thinking maybe Pat Benatar type of thing? Female vocals might go better?

Any comments? It can be fiddled around with if you need to.





Who's Laughing Now?

I Didn't know what you were doing to me, all l this time you treated me bad,
You told me it was all my fault, you put me down, made me think I was mad,
Why didn't you treat me well, what've I ever done to you,
You thought you could control me, break me and mould me,
You made an excuse for all the abuse, but it's over now.

You thought you were cruel, when you  told me to go, you thought I'd come running back,
But you did me a favour, I see what you are, and what you are is crazy,
But I'm over you, you're out of my life, I'm having a real good time,
Every day that comes you're so further away, further the better for me,
It must be hell for you knowing I don't need you, anymore.

Chorus

You'll never be happy, you'll just carry on,
 Not knowing what love is,
You'll get what you deserve,
It must be driving you mad to know I don't need you,
So who's laughing now? Who's laughing now?
You gave it your best shot, but I'm still in one piece
Well, who's laughing now? Yeh, I'm laughing now

Damn Steve that is some solid writing there. If I don't see anyone attempt this the next few days I'll give it ago.

[StevieM]

Go for it Mike, feel free. Glad you think they're ok

[holdempok]

Steve,

I was working on this last night but got interrupted. I hope to have something by week end.

Mike

[xicpanad]

ok i might try this out. It´s my chance to post something in english finally  . Might have something by tomorrow.
Cheers

[StevieM]

That'll be good, no rush though, I'm not going anywhere

Mind you, saying that, I'm away from tomorrow morning 'till Fri night.
So ignore the last bit in the first line, for now anyway

[StevieM]

Been thinking about this. 2 people wanting to have a go? I'm flattered. Thanks guys.
Be interesting to see the results you both come up with, how similar, ( or not) they are!!

[holdempok]

Here ya go SteveM. hope you like. Just me and my Acoustic some effects on both.

[mr2kewl]

WOW!!! excellent – excellent – excellent

you definitely have a talent for crafting words into a song.

what's the chord structure you're using? I'd like to work some bass into this.

[holdempok]

thanks mark. it's E D G A threu the verses and A G C D on the chorus. I kinda of rushed this one a little. but.. took some time finding the right vox effect.
