At Least (Oh You) - Draft 1

Oh you
you kissed me at the station
at the end of our first date and
I
guess you never knew
That I'd planned to kiss you too
Just the same
Guess that's our game.

Oh, we
Lala la la la lalala,
Lala, la la la lalala,
You and me...
Were wrong as wrong could be,
but at least
We got that right
We got one thing right

And do you
Remember that long night
When I sang and held you tight
because you
had those nightmares and those dreams
That just wouldn't let you sleep
without me
You needed me.
and though next day you said
we'd never talk of it again,
at least
We had that night
we got one thing right.

The Shape of You

A withered red rose, saved from a bouquet,
I'm allergic to roses, but I think that's wearing off.

A single cup with two straws.
A ticket to the Apollo Victoria,
"That's Galinda with a Gar",
More ticket stubs, Jimmy Carr this time.

A review for Scar 3D,
An empty space in my bed.
The 11th.
The second series of Green Wing.

A void on my righthandside,
The beep of a text or an msn message,
My cold hands.
Christmas.

These are the things that make the shape of you,
The space that is left when you leave.

Marvellous to Me, 3rd Draft

Can you imagine if Pietro and Lorna 
Dane got together.
It would be like
"You can't catch me, I'm too fast so
Why do you try when you can never keep up?"
So maybe
I'm just saying maybe
Maybe we should slow things down...

Or pretend Colossus and Kitty Pryde
Well, made it work together, or tried
It'd be like
"My strongest grip can't hold you
You're slipping right out of my hands
But still you get through
Every defence that I ever had,"
So maybe 
I'm just saying maybe
Maybe we should just be friends.

But I wish you knew
Wish you could see
You're marvellous to me
You always were
Always will be
Marvellous to me.
To me
You're marvellous to me...

Gambit and Rogue tried to work it out
Though he
He couldn't touch her and if he tried,
Well she -
She would kill him like you're killing me.
So maybe -
Baring a miracle maybe
Maybe we should just stay fiction.

But I wish you knew
Wish you could see
You're marvellous to me
You always were
Always will be
Marvellous to me.
To me
And though I know
We will never work
You'll always be
Marvellous to me.
To me
You're marvellous to me...

 

Marvellous to Me, Second Draft - with Singing!

Imagine if Pietro and and Lorna 
Dane got together.
It would be like
"You can't hit me, I'm too fast and
Can you imagine standing behind the 
slow guy at the atm forever?
...and you remind me of my dad".

Or pretend Colossus and Kitty Pryde
Well, made it work together, or tried
It'd be like
"My strongest grip can't hold you
You're slipping right out of my hands
But still you get through
Every defence that I ever had, so maybe
Maybe we should just stay friends".

But I wish you knew
I wish you could see
You're marvellous to me
You always were
You always will be
Marvellous to me.

Gambit and Rogue tried to work it out
Though he
He couldn't touch her and if he tried,
Well she -
She would kill him like you're killing me.
So maybe -
Baring a miracle maybe
Maybe we should just stay fiction.

But you're
Marvellous to me
You were always were
You've always been
Marvellous to me.
I wish you knew
I wish you'd believe
You're marvellous to me.

You asked me to look you in the eye
but like 
cyclops without his visor
I can't do that
You don't want that
But still
You should believe

You're marvellous to me
You always were
You always will be
Marvellous to me
Even though I know
We will never work
You're still marvellous to me
To me
You'll always be
Marvellous to me.
You can hear me singing it here.

That Little Jump

I'm unhappy
and I'm waiting for you
I'm about to give up on you
But you say just right the thing
and you pull me back in

and I hate that little jump of hope
every time I get out, it pulls me right back in

Suddenly I'm happy and I'm singing
maybe this time....
maybe this time

maybe this time I'll win.


I don't like this so much.  It's a bit forties, the lyrics don't flow well, and I swear it's not quite original.

There's a bit of the brain

There's a bit of my brain
that's mostly sane
and it tries to save me
from myself
There's a bit of my brain
that's still a bit sane
and it's fighting a war
against itself

Similar to "They're coming to take me away".

Marvellous to Me OR Pun Intended

Imagine if Pietro Maximoff
And Lorna Dane got together.
It'd be like
"You can't hit me, I'm too fast
Can you imagine standing behind the slow guy at the atm forever?
You remind me of my dad".

Or pretend Colossus and Kitty Pryde
Made it work together, or tried
It'd be like
"All my strength can't hold you
You slip through my tightest grip
You get through my defences like no one else
Maybe we're better apart".

And it's like
I'm sorry I ran
I'm sorry I couldn't catch you
I'm sorry I tried to keep you
But you're marvellous to me.

Gambit and Rogue tried to work it out
Though Remy couldn't touch her and she -
She'd kill him if he got too close
Like you're killing me.
So, baring a miracle, maybe -

Maybe we should just stay fiction.

And it's like
I'm sorry I wanted to touch you
When you kept warning me "no"
I'm sorry I couldn't leave you
When you warned me, and told me to go
Don't you know?
You're marvellous to me
You've always been
Marvellous to me.

This little fragment might fit in somewhere too;

you asked me to look you in the eye
but I'm like cyclops without his visor
you don't want that,
trust me
