Gonzojourno

Public face

Meet the man with the public face

Paid up member of the human race

No believer in misdemeanour

Way too smart to leave a trace



We’ve seen his face on television
Heard his voice on radio

Pray you’re not the big decision
When the music’s turned down low
Daddy’s got an aching head
Mummy says it’s time for bed



CHORUS



Lately you’ve been hearing voices

Need a drink to oil the tongue

When it all comes down to choices

What if this has just begun


CHORIS


History is you witness now

Time to kill a sacred cow

Be polite please, dim the light please

CHORUS


Feel the beat of a ticking time bomb
Block your ears and close the door

Tell yourself that nothing’s gone wrong

Carry on just like before
Better not to make a scene
No one likes a drama queen

CHORUS

My new flame


I went to see the Rubens
The town’s hot ticket - I pulled some strings,
She was standing in the corner;
A fallen angel with broken wings.
Since that day I’m not the same.
I need to tell the world about my new flame.

She says her daddy’s in the movies,
He’s read my stuff, he thinks its cool.
He’s gonna find me a producer –
Wise guy, wi-fi, swimming pool.
I think I’m ready to handle fame-
House up in the hills with my new flame.

Rap (woman’s voice)

Tonight it’s hot on the Cannes croisette,
Gonna tell y’all about this dude I met -
Versace suit, looks real cute,
Gotta be a player coz he’s oozing loot!
He’s gonna fly me down to a Cap Roc suite,
There’s juice man I need to meet.
Tonight it’s hot on Cannes croisette -
And baby you ain’t seen nothing yet.

(Singer)
She says her daddy’s in the movies,
He’s read my stuff, he thinks its cool.
He’s gonna find me a producer –
Wise guy, wi-fi, swimming pool.
I think I’m ready to handle fame-
House up in the hills with my new flame.

Here's the version that Swordfish came up with. I almost typed 'final version'. But, of course, there is no final version of this or any other song. I hope you like it, but more importantly I hope you'll give feedback. And feel free to take it and turn it into your version. That would be the best result of all.

Laid back arrangement from Swordfish

SoCal Girls


Suki likes to sleep late on Sunday

By Monday Michelle’s holding her own
Paula says please now I’m down on my knees
I don’t think I can do this alone


Oh    Uh-oh

Cos something’s wrong, don’t make it right

Oh    Uh-oh
Ask a Socal Girl tonight


Tori takes her time in the bathroom
Lexi likes to taste the fresh air
Faye says “Hey, we can do this OK,
Cos redhead ladies know how to share.”


Nickels and dimes, sign of the times
Doing your lines is fine

Work till you bleed, get what you need

Got mouths to feed, indeed



Wanda wants to work on her website
Brandi needs to make her blog pay
Toni talks trash, but only for cash
And Terri’s on Twitter today


Mandy caught a flight to Miami
Rosie took a trip down to Rome
All that they saw was the ceiling and floor
Same view they’d get back at home.


CHORUS
