'Safety Razor' - With a Parental Advisory Sticker

[Greeny]

Here's a song I wrote a while ago, which seemed to come into it's own when it got recorded on the BR. I tried to keep it simple, as it's about the words really. Apologies to anyone offended by the 'f' word in it... it's the only song I've done that in, and felt it was in keeping with the soul-baring feel of this one.

It's just me with guitars, bass and two layers of vocal.

[mr2kewl]

no doubt, this came from deep down in your soul. there's got be video some place that would blend in with these lyrics.

[Ferryman_1957]

Very nice, simple and effective. Love your straightforward style on this type of song.

Could you post the words? I don't hear too well so am struggling to make them all out.

Cheers,

Nigel

Lyrics...

safety razors never cut that deep
and they don't leave scars
and every night the only curves that i caress
are those of this guitar

everybody wants to smile at me
with ivory teeth like piano keys
there's nothing left for you to teach me
about the birds and the bees

i put the cat amongst the pigeons again
and i'll face the firing squad if we're too broke to mend
but in this f*cked up universe, you and i could spend
a lifetime, and never find another love
like the one we've shared

i love you with each fibre of my nine lives
in shades of red and gold
lets stop beating round these thorny bushes
and grow some love at home

everybody wants to smile at me
with ivory teeth like piano keys
there's nothing left for you to teach me
about the birds and the bees

i put the cat amongst the pigeons again
and i'll face the firing squad if we're too broke to mend
but in this f*cked up universe, you and i could spend
a lifetime, and never find another love
like the one we've shared

Magic Tim.

Love it.

Lyrics...

Oh. I'm sad now. Hope you escaped the firing squad.

Great stuff. Wish I had your lyrical inventiveness, I struggle like mad to come up with decent lyrics.

Cheers,

Nigel

I like the feel... similar to 'Wounded Souls'.
Pure & simple.
The pain is oozing with each note.
Love it.
This is a 'Real' song.
Greeny you are an awesome guitarist as well,
as an awesone singer/sonwriter.
You constantly just blow me away with your talents!

I completly agree with what LG said.  Greeny, you the man.  You will be on the Brit awards before this is all over.
