Several notes to self:
When in doubt, go cute... :wink:
Don't wait so long into the week that everyone else has taken all the good angles!
Not at all happy with this, but it's at least a stab.
Speaking of stabs - this won't be up on soundclick http://www.soundclick.com/davidhodge for long as I don't want to be contributing to anyone's damaged eardrums!
Be that as it may:
Two of Hearts
When you feel the chips are down
And the deck is stacked against you
And you think you'd give up everything
To draw another card
Well just come and take my hand
And together we'll get through
'Cause me and you
We make a perfect two of hearts
I don't have diamonds for your hand
Or a band of gold to ante
There's no club I've not been tossed from
Guess I've made myself a name
But I gamble in good faith
I'll play whatever card you deal me
And I'll stay with you forever
If you're game
Now some people would give anything
To be an Ace or Queen or King
But I'd give up power and royalty
To have you share this card with me
When you feel the chips are down
And the deck is stacked against you
And you think you'd give up everything
To draw another card
Well just come and take my hand
And together we'll get through
'Cause me and you
We make a perfect two of hearts
Now some folks lives are little more
Than win and lose and keeping score
Let me clue you in yeah here's the deal
They'll never know a love so real
When you feel the chips are down
And the deck is stacked against you
And you think you'd give up everything
To draw another card
Well just come and take my hand
And together we'll get through
'Cause me and you
We make a perfect two of hearts
Me and you
We make a perfect two of hearts

Now it's off for some much needed sleep and then up and at 'em for the critiques I've missed while putting together this mess! :wink:
Peace
Hey David,
sounded pretty convincing to me, well done. Reminded me a little bit of Arlo Guthrie. As far as the song goes, yeah cute, but why not. I dont think there is anything in there that doesnt work to my mind, so well done and good for you for actually putting every song so far to music. That's a huge ask.
cheers
pbee
Hey David
I'm listening to this for the second time , very well put together song ..
On reading it I did not think this line suited ..but then when I heard it yet again I was wrong :
But I gamble in good faith
I must admit I was singing along with you David on the third time I listened , I really like this .. :wink:
I actually thought of Tiny Tim with Tip Toe Through the Tuplips after a while ..( sorry mate ) :lol: :lol:
What a fun song with a deeper meaning ...
Love your work here Sir
Hilch :idea:
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
David,
Definitely Arlo Guthrie
Very Good I don't usually like "cute" but this works.

Hmmm, definitely a bit puke-worthy in terms of schmalz, but the structure, metre and choice of words are all up to your usual standards. The song works but maybe it is the kind of writing you'd prefer to sell than record yourself.
AWWWWW. This brings a tear to my eye. But I have a secret love of schmatlz.
Falling in love is like learning to play the guitar; first you learn to follow the rules, then you learn to play with your heart.
The song works but maybe it is the kind of writing you'd prefer to sell than record yourself.
Maybe you could sell it to Arlo ?:lol:
I'm sure he must be around Great Barrington
from time to time.
John
Maybe some more sleep can help eventually...
A good attempt definatly.Btw i don't know who is Arlo Guthrie.
