This is a collaboration between myself and Shirley Bas….er..I mean Ciggi Burns.
I had a song ready but no lyric or voice. Ciggi wanted to write a bitter lyric but had no song so we decided to join forces and this is the result.
My German guitar playing friend Detlef Schulz joined the party. (If ever in need of a power ballad guitar solo, look to Germany, it’s their core competence).
Also used a sample by Airtone, “Festival of lights brass” that seems to be unpublished or removed.

Ciggi’s lyric:

verse

Words, all those words, we spend so freely
Sending our thoughts from mind to mind
Words spoken or written in books and letters
Used to tell stories, to persuade and bind
Read again those first love letters:
‘You’re the best’
‘You’re the most’
‘Never felt this way before`
Read again how it all ended:
‘Must hurt you’
‘Was mistaken’
‘Don’t love you anymore’

chorus

Give me some words that have no meaning
That leave me cold and light no fires
Give me some words that kindle no feeling
That remind me of neither love nor liars

verse

Those words on paper, they last forever
A sequence of marks bringing pain or joy
Words that drag the past to the present
A lasting record to delight then destroy
Read again those first love letters:
‘You’re the best’
‘You’re the most’
‘Never felt this way before’
Read again how it all ended:
‘Must hurt you’
‘Was mistaken’
‘Don’t love you anymore’

chorus

Give me some words that have no meaning
That leave me cold and light no fires
Give me some words that kindle no feeling
That remind me of neither love nor liars

Read again those false love letters:
‘You’re the one’
‘You’re unique’
‘You were always meant to be’
Read again how it ended:
‘It’s over’
‘It happens’
‘Don’t take it out on me’

Must hurt you – it’s over – don’t want you anymore
