thongrider Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 I had this melody, I wanted to write lyrics for, and I used this technique I use when I have nothing to write about. I click "random article" on Wikipedia and try to write a song around the page-titles and I wrote the five songs: "Women of Death", "Dyers Mountain", "Tomorrow at Ten", "Pinch of Pleasure" and "When Apples Were Golden"(the original), and they were all pretty bad with like one verse I liked in each song, so I just put them all into one song. I don't know if they even make sense, but I thought it was a fun idea. When Apples Were Golden Verse 1 Back when apples were golden Back when the sky was blue When the world looked beautiful Maybe for me, not for you I have things to borrow and lend but there had to come a day So at tomorrow at ten I'll be on my way Verse 2 They love to play with the devil Stay away from the women of death Rituals on another level Curses from the depths of her breath There's no sense in counting There's no safety in numbers now When you're on Dyers Mountain It won't matter anyhow Bridge For some the apples are rotting For some they are golden still For some the apples are rotting Verse 3 I didn't meet her at a road I met her at a café With a "haven't we met before?" She took my life that day I must rid my sorrows by then I must hold my pants by the seams Cuz at tomorrow at ten I'll meet the girl of my dreams Ends For some the apples are rotten For some they're golden still For some they're as golden As they'll ever be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
