I Got A Girl

independentartistscompany.com/songs.aspx?SongID=7403&;ArtistID=9993

I got a girl,
and she loves me with no shame
Don't ask how since I'm loaded-loud,
and quite profane

When we first met
She was barely seventeen
I was 24 years old, a brief cased
poet on morphine

I took her back with me
To a place where I was a guest
But it didn't take us long
To fall victim to love's test

[Chorus]

When she got pregnant
We barely knew each other's names
But like the mother Mary said,
"I was too young when Jesus came"
But like mother Mary said,
"I was too young when Jesus came"

So life can be funny
Regardless if you get the joke
Take the wizard of Oz for example
Tilting mirrors, full of smoke

[Chorus]

Trust the action of love,
and keep your goals defined
Because if you blame then panic?
You can kiss all your dreams goodbye
Because if you blame then panic?
You can kiss all your dreams goodbye

[Improv and closing]

I have a habit of breaking everything, and
I don't know why I feel the need to hurt myself all the time
A nomad settled tends to get moody fast
The Navy took my 18th year when I went to Captain's mast
But for every fucked thing that's ever happened to me?
Became the scars that caught the loving eye of my future wife,
and now our precious son keeps our love so intact
With a laugh and hello he sits up high on daddy's back
He sits up high on, he sits up high on
Daddy's back

    Actually, that brought me in from the cold after I had been lambasted.
    Still, 'tis only an island in an ocean of teenage blood and zit juice.

    The jesus/mary line is deep (reminded me of of the truth according to dan brown in the da vinci code) Your softer side is what i liek best about your writing earthy, an awareness and appreciation of femininity and wit one liners with wisdom. You've evolved and i think i've mellowed. I see your in the honest critiques group - fairplay to you i have been lambasted enough for saying what i think on here lately and i bet my last quid you were partly responsible for the origins of that group. You kick poetry forward of 2004, ahead of your time in my opinion and dead or alive you'll make the bigtime one day.

    so these are true events? not sure what to say about this song. guess i'd have to hear it before i make any assumptions. Out of all honesty, it sounds slightly cheesy; though I have written many similar to this. I do like it because it seems from your heart. once i get my speakers for my computer i'll give the real song a listen Please don't take my critisism too hard. It's just that this piece reminded me of so many past songs I have writen and tried to break away from. I'm gonna read more of your stuff. (sorry about my spelling by the way...spell check is my friend

    as though daddy's back were his throne..and he a prince of the affections shared between you and your wife. Indeed, a sweet poem to say the least. 'twas intriguing, and kinda sad all at the same time. But you played with it well, good job!

    3.5/5 stars.

    A surprisingly interesting read, lol, I will admit I was originally put off by the fact that this was done in song format, but the imagery and the feeling and the reality of what binds two people together after such a rough storm was expressed wonderfully in the poem. Even if this isn't apparently your usual style, I'll be back to check out more, that's for sure.

    Interesting piece. It moves real well with an interesting story to it. I like the chorus cuz it doesn't repeat with the same words as so many do. L5 in the second chorus has a typo though.... just noticed.

    take care...

    Hey!

    "I was too young when Jesus came
    But like mother Mary said,
    "I was too young when Jesus came

    I believe that the end quote should come after "came" although, it could be intended and I just was not aware.

    Because if you blame then panic?
    You can kiss all your dreams goodbye
    Because if you blame than panic?
    You can kiss all your dreams goodbye

    Once it says then and once it says than. You're a brilliant writer, so I wouldnt question your talent, just thought I'd point it out since it didnt look right?

    I really did enjoy this. It made me smile. And if I were at home instead of at work, I might be able to listen to this fabulous song.

    : ) Take care,

    Criss

    I was reading this and it strucked me that this is quite different from your usual obscure pieces... and then the category struck me again... it's lyrics of a song that's why... lol

    I love the context of this song. It isn't the usual angsty-bangsty type nor was it the usual syruppy-chiruppy mush love songs...its like a story being unfolded by the minstrel of yores - befitting the jazz tunes.

    I'm downloading your music right now
