Izabella you're my saviour this week! :wink: I tried 3 songs(e.g. scratch's song- got you a nice extra verse, mate :wink: ) but was never quite satisfied, just changing pronouns would be too easy, right?

well here you go, hope you don't mind I changed the meaning a bit(if I got it right), Izabella. if you do, sorry.

---original by Izabella:
Give it up

My clock says midnight
Your's says noon,
you want us together
we're two seperate moons
youre energiser
while im duracell
you go to BP
but i go to shell
you see the future
I see the past
Both of them say
We're sure not to last

Chorus
So give it up
the gesture was kind
but give it up
we'll both be fine
please give it up
our time is done
but somehow you're the only one left

my attempt:
Throw it away

One clock says midnight, one says noon
One vote for together, one for separate rooms
Energiser
Duracell
BP
Shell
An eye in the future, an eye in the past
Agreement on the fact they're not gonna last

So why not throw it away
The gesture was kind
But he'd better give it up
They will both be fine ..in a while.. for a while
She begs: throw it away
Their time is done
Oh but somehow he's not the only one
Left.

oh and I changed the title, too. oops. sorry:)
hope ya like it though.
cheers,
bluenightangel

Bluenightangel,

Nice Job!!!!

It seems you took a totally different point of view on the entire song.

Definately more than just changing the pronouns.

I like this. The original had its own feeling and touch that you managed to somehow hold while creating something completely new. Twisted things up, gave them a different flavor. It would be hard for me to say which I liked best.

well, yes, I do like cake...
