SAD LOVE SONGS
sad love songs

In The Dog House.

Felt,wood and nails

On my credit card

I built a kennel

In my back yard,

My baby helped me

She drew the plans

But I did the work

With my own two hands.

Always thought it was bigger than need be

Never thought it would be home to me.

chorus

I'm in the dog house

It’s no lie

Half chewed bones

Laying close by,

It's cold and dark

Think I touched a mouse

She threw me out

I'm in the dog house.

Well all I did

Was stay out late

And stagger in

With my buddy Jake,

When Jake bailed out

All hell broke loose

I'm glad this kennel

Is waterproof.

chorus

bridge

That old hound he'll be snoring his head off

Stretched out by the fire

If I'd known we'd be swapping places

I'd have made the door a little higher,

My baby she'll be tucked up in bed

Probably dozing to the radio

One thing for certain

I'll be grovelling tomorrow.

chorus

______________________________________________________

I Know Her Well.

She drinks de caf coffee with a tiny splash of milk

She uses a coconut shampoo

To keep her hair as smooth as silk

For breakfast she likes toast with orange marmalade

She doesn’t like high bridges

An open staircase makes her afraid.

chorus

I know her well, better than anyone else I know

She was my girl, a long long time ago

Don’t misunderstand me, I’m no longer under her spell

I’m just saying, I know her well.

Her favourite colours are lilac and cherry red

She likes to sleep naked

On the right side of the bed

Her taste in music is strictly rock and country

Her skin is soft and sensitive

Certain metals trigger her allergy.

chorus

bridge

I saw her picture in the local paper

She looked great in her wedding dress

I raised my glass to the married couple

Wished them health and happiness,

She still has a faint little scar

It’s only visible when she smiles,

She slipped one day in the kitchen

And cut her lip on the terracotta tiles.

chorus.

She Kissed Me Last Night

I’m fizzy and dizzy bubbly and poppin

Wobbly and shakey jerky and rockin

I’m agitated and stimulated

Buzzing like a bee in flight

I’m bitten and smitten, she kissed me last night

chorus

She kissed me last night, when I walked her home

She gave me her number, and asked me to phone

Things are looking up my future is bright

It’s all because she kissed me last night.

I’m mushy and slushy giddy and gooey

Chirpy and cheery goofy and screwy

I’m gleaming and beaming

Like star in the moonlight

I’m dazzled and frazzled she kissed me last night.

Chorus

Bridge

I never knew one kiss could make me feel like this

I’m not the guy I used to be

Got a flame burning in my heart, she sparked a fire in me,

I walked home last night in the pouring rain

Skipping puddles on the pavement

Dreaming about kissing her again.

chorus

Corned Beef Christmas

I bought a turkey back in January

He was a skinny little thing

When the farmer sold him to me

He told me he'd named him Bing,

I planned to fatten him up

Ready for Christmas time

Bing was gonna be delicious

With some Californian wine.

pre chorus

Awe but I couldn't harm a feather on Bing

By halloween, I'd called off roastin him

chorus

It's a corned beef Christmas

No bird on my plate

Got every last piece for a Christmas feast

Cept the leadin candidate,

Got all the trimmins

Stuffin and gravy

But it's a corned beef Christmas

A corned beef Christmas for me.

Should've chopped Bings head off

Near the tail end of July

Could've plucked and frozen him

Until Christmas eve arrived,

But I took a shine to Bing

Taught him how to sit and stay

He's one of the family now

I aint eatin Bing no way.

chorus

bridge

My Christmas tree lights are twinklin

I got mistletoe above the door

I'm in the festive mood

But it's different than before,

I could have bought an oven ready

And kept the yule tide tradition

But Bing would have nightmares

If he saw me cookin his cousin.

chorus

Lovesick Heart.

I think she sends my messages

Straight to her recycle bin

And she wont answer her phone

When I'm certain she's in.

I know she's avoiding me

There's nothing I can do

I thought we could make up

But it looks like we're through.

chorus

We used to be so close

Now we're so far apart

My spirit reflects

My lovesick heart.

It's a cruel world without her

I'm finding it hard to cope

All that keeps me together

Is a frail thread of hope.

Maybe she'll get in touch

And we'll arrange to meet

But the thread gets weaker

With each ailing heartbeat.

chorus,

bridge

If you meet her someday

In the street or on the subway

Please mention my name,

Tell her I'm suffering

And I will do anything

To hold her close again.

chorus

Outdoor Girl.

I'm wondering where she is and what she's doing

Maybe she's in Canada hiking or canoeing

She could be scuba diving down by Mexico

Or climbing the slopes of Kilamanjaro.

chorus

She's an outdoor girl, with a zest for life

Rosey red cheeks, Swiss army knife

She loves adventure and travelling the world

She couldn't love me, she's an outdoor girl.

She could in Thailand exploring ancient caves

Or riding a surf board on Tahitis waves

She might be high above France or Spain

Ready to free fall from a plane.

chorus

bridge

She said from the start

Don't get attached to my heart

And I'm not falling apart and crying,

But if I said I don't miss her

And that I don't long to kiss her

I would be lying.

chorus
