Song Information:

Oh where oh where was I going with this? I've been mucking around for about 6 weeks tring to get something I'm happy with, but I just can't afford to spend any more time on it so here it is as best as I can get it.

The story behind it is that it's the first song I ever wrote, nearly 20 years ago!!!. It was written for me and my friend john to play, as we could only play "D", "C" and "G" at the time. I've progressed a bit since then so I've added an "F" in the middle 8.

Anyhow, it should have been acoustic, but didn't sound right so I added and added and added. The Monster! It Lives! (just)

Song Lyrics:

The breath of freedom has faded away
The streets have lost thier cool
She sits alone with the rest of the world
Like the new kid at a new school

Her silence is broken by the sound of the day
As the cars thunder on to the sky
The bag at her feet holds what's left of her life
That she knows she's lived as a lie

The streets dim her lights and she hasn't smiled in ages
She's seen what she's seeen, never read between the lines
Her book of life has so many missing pages
It's sad to know she thinks she's doing fine

A car slows down and pulls up to the kerb,
she jumps in without a care
She thinks of driving to a better place
With the wind blowing in her hair
Alice Cooper on the radio,
School's out for ever it seems
She lays back her head and closes her eyes
But finds no peace in her dreams

Repeat Chorus

You know these streets they won't remember her name
Of the 10 green bottles on her wall, just on remains
And if you want, you can tell it to her plain
But to her it's just a game.

Repeat Verse 1
