This one is more of a satirical anti love song - and not as high a priority as my other song BETTER LEAVE YOU. if you have to choose, that one is more important. but if you have read both feel free to mention either in passing as you crit one to save yourself time. Thank you :)


I'm not funny without you
Just whiny - no climax.
Without you my jokes
become like what my nan cracks

I miss your good humour
And I've heard a rumour
You feel sick without me
or is it a tumor? Haha

Without you I'm smelly
I've got a potbelly
Well whatdyou expect
All I do is watch telly

Without your love I've nothing to give
Oh yeah, and also - no reason to live
I gaze as my last days pour down the sieve
If you don't forgive me...
I swear you'll soon outlive me

I so wish you hadn't blocked me on skype
I know that for you all my lines are just tripe
You're busy finding someone more like "your type"
Well soon you'll find out - people are hype

Oh how I wish you'd pick up the phone
I'm desperate for a whine and a moan
God it's so boring being alone
Guess I'll have another empty ice cream cone

I know the reason you're not picking up
you're sorry you left but ashamed to own up
Well let me say this - start acting grownup
And technically speaking we never broke up

Oh, please take me back
Give me just one more crack
Come on cut me some slack
We'll make up in the sack [RepeatX2]

DW;
I laughed. I laughed again. Funny stuff. I've never heard a song with the word 'potbelly' in it. Good job.

I liked this, DW. I've never ventured to this section before. Lemme look around a bit.

I like this one the best out of the ones you've posted. More original certainly. Ends well too. Tomorrow I should be able to post a link to a few of my songs, after which you probably won't want my advice any more. heh heh.

Jbal I listened to your songs and I still want your advice! Just to let you know I think you're real talented
The sound quality and background music is just great... but anyways thanks for the crit keep'em coming. if you have any specific questions about any of your songs ask. Oh and you never told me who your all time fav musicians are

It changes every week. Last few years, maybe Government Mule, Tori Amos, Beck more than anyone maybe, the Beatles, the Roots, Busta Rhymes, Miles Davis, Bob Marley, GWAR, you name it.
