Hey People
Been a while since ive posted.. Work and Private commitments have kept me away from the keyboard for a month or so... but sorry to tell you .. i'm back
Eddie has prodded me about this lyric which we are picking back up and playing with.. I have re worked it a number of times.. and we have 2 possibilities now. The first version is the one on here with short verses and chorus.. the second version which I will post now is basically the verse and chorus from the first version merged to make just a verse.. and a brand new chorus added... Thought i'd post it here to see what people think. I'm not sure which version we will go with (thats up to eddie.. he's the 'Tunes' man.. and it depends what lyrics are the best fit....)
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment
Needy Old World
[V1]
Its not what you have,
Its what you give,
Who you are cant be bought,
Its the life that you live,
Its not what you buy,
Its what you make,
Your life isnt ruled,
By those fools on the take
In this needy old world
In which we live,
Its not what you have,
Its what you give.
Chorus
------
To take the things
That you dont need,
Is simply giving in to greed,
And not to help,
when you know you can,
just makes you a lesser man,
Dont turn your back,
Dont walk away
Dont think everything will be ok,
Dont just ignore,
Hold out your hand,
and slowly you will start to Un-Der-Stand.
[V2]
Its not what you say
Its what you do,
Words can decieve
But your actions ring true
Its not how you act,
Its how you feel,
Deceit is a lie,
Love and Compassion are real
Its a needy old world,
That much is true,
Its not what you say,
Its what you do.
Chorus
------
To take the things
That you dont need,
Is simply giving in to greed,
And not to help,
when you know you can,
just makes you a lesser man,
Dont turn your back,
Dont walk away
Dont think everything will be ok,
Dont just ignore,
Hold out your hand,
and slowly you will start to Un-Der-Stand.
[v3]
Its not if your loved
But if you love,
Do you do what you can,
With the Lords help from above,
Its not if your Fake,
Its if your Real,
Its amazing the difference,
A kind hand can deal
In this needy old world,
Of push and shove,
Its not if your Loved
But if you Love.
Chorus
------
To take the things
That you dont need,
Is simply giving in to greed,
And not to help,
when you know you can,
just makes you a lesser man,
Dont turn your back,
Dont walk away
Dont think everything will be ok,
Dont just ignore,
Hold out your hand,
and slowly you will start to Un-Der-Stand.
