In hopes that Tom Sharpe and joebill will grace us with more of their EXCELLENT lyrics (Tom's was trippy and the music butt shaking funky, and joebill's exactly up my expectations of what science fiction lyrics should and will be)

I offer another sad tale of woe that, at the time, was precisely what I needed to say at the time. It was all I could say. I was not a good person to be around.

Never Said a Word

Never said a word since it all fell apart
Never said a word even though it broke my heart

Never said a word

Spending all my time finding other things to do
Spending all my time trying not to think of you

Never said a word

......

It's funny how the way things changed
Once I had you here beside me
Now that you're gone
Feels like somethings dead inside me

Never said a word

Now I stand here above you and I cannot make a sound
My watery hands waver placing flowers on the ground

Never said a word

Here

Astounding, sad, precious moments ... finality in the final 4 lines.

Great job Donnageddon.

Lovely song, Donnageddon. Especially liked the way those lovely background vocals supported the melody. Hope to hear more of your originals.

Thanks, Donnageddon. Personally, I don't believe I've ever written a song with better lyrics than this one.

Is this a trick answer?

Well there were a couple of words or vocal sounds in there that I think I heard. I liked it!

Lyrically, I would say it belongs right up there with Taquilla, but musically, it is a knock out. It has got everything from Emersonian prog rock, circus music, jazz, and bit of The Munsters... And the Star Wars Cantina Band thrown in.

BadGoodDeb got it right "cool music"!

Thanks Tom!

A story of war and lust and cable news. Written in the spring of 2003, when a young man's heart turned to....

Christiane Amanpour

You can say what you want about Diane Sawyer
You can mock Barbara Walters and I won't call a lawyer
You can dis Jane Pauley, or any other news whore
But you better not say anything bad about

Christiane Amanpour*

Christiane Amanpour it's you who I adore
Christiane Amanpour I'd fight in your war
You can show me people dying in the sands of Iraq
But all I can think about is your hair and the small of your back

Christiane Amanpour

I saw you in the Balkans with the bombs raining down
Even with all that genocide you made a smile from my frown
I wish that I could talk to you in a small foreign cafe
But the security monkeys at CNN keep pushing me away

Christiane Amanpour it's you I'm fighting for
Christiane Amanpour my love you can't ignore
You won an Emmy for reports from Yugoslavia
And two George Foster Peabodys
But all I want is a kiss from your lips
And I dream of doing the naughty with

Christiane Amanpour

Some people they tell me they like Rym more than you**
But they don't really know you, like I really do
And if you moved to FOX News, I'd watch you even there
But if that bastard O'Reilly touched you
I'd kick him in his pair

Christiane Amanpour est c'est plus profond que l'amour
Christiane Amanpour will I ever get to score?
I hear the sirens wailing, I hope you brought your film crew
And I know I really shoudn't have done it
But I did it all for you

Christiane Amanpour

I love you girl

* I really do admire Ms. Amanpour, in a totally respectful manner.
** Rym Brahimi, another CNN corespondent in the early days of the war, and whom I totally respect.
