Another attempt at a song

I think this is slightly more upbeat than my previously posted song. A little less self loathing and a little more self praise. (does that sound like an Elvis song?). My first attempt was more of a ballady acoustic number. This is a more punk vibe that i wrote on one of my up phases. Anyway the song is called "Call me Gravity".

Call me Gravity

When its right and when I'm ready,
I'll hold my course and keep it steady.
I won't back down and i won't falter,
My chosen target I'll not alter.
Tonight's the night i let it all go,
It's all yes yes its no more no no.
I sing my loudest to the night air,
No more near misses, I just don't care!

I'll be the loudest I'll be strongest,
I'll ride a tiger and hold on longest
I'll be so fast too fast to see,
I'll be a force of nature, call me gravity.


There's no point it slowing down,
No point searching if it's found.
No point in diving in the sea,
If a mountain tops where you wanna be.
All I wants a little fun,
I want my day in summer sun.
Too much time I have wasted,
When the sweetest wine remains untasted.

I'll be the loudest I'll be strongest,
I'll ride a tiger and hold on longest
I'll be so fast too fast to see,
I'll be a force of nature, call me gravity.


My selfish genes now dominant,
You can't say no, you can't say can't.
My shoulders have been others ladders,
With weaker minds and weaker bladder.
To hell with deep, what's wrong with shallow?
I'm a nuclear missile you're a bow and arrow.
No more will I be a second best,
It's all me now so fuck the rest.

I'll be the loudest I'll be strongest,
I'll ride a tiger and hold on longest
I'll be so fast too fast to see,
I'll be a force of nature, call me gravity.

  1. You're a tiger, grr!

    This is great, David. It reads well, has some terrific analogies and did I detect some innuendo too?

    Fave lines: "To hell with deep, what's wrong with shallow? I'm a nuclear missile you're a bow and arrow."
