I was inspired this week by an episode of Law and Order that ended with a line delivered by Fred Thompson; Sometimes the good you do doesn't do you any good. And they say TV is a wasteland . . . .

SOMETIMES
Sometimes the good you do doesn't do you any good at least not like it should
and sometimes when you've done something wrong someone comes along and says thank you
and you don't understand it cause it doesn't make any sense and then you say you're welcome
then you turn around and you shake your head you contemplate what you just said and you go on your way
and you hope another day will help you forget
And Sometimes when you're trying your best your best doesn't meet the test and you're left far behind
and sometimes you don't bother to try you win hands down and it's so hard to believe you start to cry
and you don't understand it cause it doesn't make any sense and then you say you're grateful
then you turn around and you shake your head you contemplate what you just said and you go on your way
and you hope another day will help you forget
Sometimes the love you share Is with someone who doesn't care They just don't feel the same
And someone you barely know tells you they love you so and they can't bare the pain
and you don't understand it cause it doesn't make any sense and so you ask yourself why
then you turn around and you shake your head you contemplate what you just said and you go on your way
and you hope another day will help you forget
There are so many things you want to understand and only so many things you can and there's so little time
and then you wake up and find one day that everything was wrong you managed to learn along the way
and you don't understand it cause it doesn't make any sense and so you say I'm sorry
then you turn around and you shake your head you contemplate what you just said and you go on your way
and you know another day won't help you forget, and you know another day won't help you forget
Bravo Bravo

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Thanks hilch,
I really appreciate the comments.
Thanks Peter, and, yes, that's my bird who does background for me but he's itching to go solo.
Nicely done mate. Loved the backing vocals from your bird too. :D

Hi chefie,
Thanks for that! I enjoyed reading through the lyrics, and even more hearing you perform it. It flows really well, the melody is great.
I wish there was something I could nitpick on to make a.. uhm... fuller criticism, but I can't find anything. Just a great effort in my book (and many others, seeing what comments you've received)
Keep it up!
:)
