This Song Isn't True - Demo - Three String Cohiba Cigar Box Guitar

Whoops, realised after filming that the music stand was covering the CBG! If you want to see it better, check out this vid : -) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2tqLX_7sY8

Lyrics:

This Song Isn't True

CHORUS
This song isn't true,
made it up just for you.
People never lie,
and the sun will always shine,
yeah this song isn't true.

There's a God up in the sky.
You'll go to heaven when you die.
Every man should have a gun,
every father, every son.
There's a god up in the sky.

CHORUS

We haven't messed up this world.
Still got time to turn it round.
The air's pollution free,
there's plenty more fish in the sea.
We haven't messed up this world

CHORUS

This is a happy song.
Makes you want to sing along.
It's good not to think,
and to drown yourself in drink.
Yeah this is a happy song, but

CHORUS X 2

Another great tune, Belinda. I always enjoy your efforts.

It really is good writing. The chorus implies the verse isn't true,  the but at the end of the last verse drives it home.

I need to put pen to paper its been a while, just have not been in a good mind set. Takes time.

thanks James

Rtz, ah I see, you got that the chorus said that all that stuff wasn't true, but prefer to think of it as true. It's interesting how people see the same things differently...

I like the way you wrote it and I get it,  BUT I just don't want to believe it.

thanks Maddog

thanks RTZ. Interesting, which bit did you see as hopeful?..I didn't see it like that

Comment by RTZGUITARS on April 30, 2013 at 10:53am

Great use of the looper Be, the title is deceiving this is a song of Hope. Very nice.
