"Beyond the Pale" and Other Songs
-
"Punk Folk" song kind of intense and slow delivered emotionally and mournfully. Very sad. Inspired by Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music and Marianne Faithfull 1980s downer music. I can hear Ferry (or the lead singer in The Cure) wail softly in the background as Beatnik bongos keep a slow hypnotic beat. It's also my "Crazy Heart" movie inspired "OMG I'm f-----d up, hit rock bottom" orison. Its title regrettably is a cliche. Beyond the Pale drifing beyond the pale, fallen down so low, the raven not a nightingale going where the wild things go, knowing what the wild things know once an innocent child, lively and fun, yet timid and mild I'm trying to be nice and kind, trying to get her back, but I can't feel the warmth of the sun and I've drifted beyond the pale, I've fallen down so low the raven, not a nightingale going where the wild things go my heart a raw savage wound of an open book, don't want them to take a look and laugh at what all they took can't be sure again, can't be pure again ]cause I'm drifting bey0nd the pale, the raven (nevermore, nevermore) not a nightingale --SUSY

The Ballad of Paul McArtful "Scruff from Speke" From a scruff from Speke to a toff, much was gained but what was lost, deep down though he did not change and his special fondness for his longtime Liddypool mates remains the same. In a sense, unspoiled by great fame In Heaven, who will be his wife, but they won't have that there which is rather nice for those who don't have a prayer. but then, he could not love every girl who loved him, no matter how much they might long, so how could they ever feel wronged? we'll make do with a personal song and knowing he's in the world many love him, and always will, thankful for surprises and thrills they get from his musical skills and O, how that male songbird can trill! --Susy (as if he could write a personal song especially for each and every fan, dedicated to them personally by name-- snickers)

You Must Go to War, My son Folk, for guitar You must go to war, my son, there are battles which must be won, you must go far away you must go far, far away. They say it's freedom for which you fight, does that make killing right? "There have always been wars, and rumors of wars" but what are they ever really for? And if it happens you should be killed on some blood-soaked battle field, then all the world will hear my cry then, all the world will hear my cry I see no reason for having to kill or die, are we born just to die? I raise my fist in righteous indignation at the unrelenting sky --Susy

Pink Honey Sun (Jazzy Razz Matazzy) Pink honey sun high up in the sky blue mint moon at night, diamonds-- dazzling stars in their velvet midnight blue setting left breathless by the magnificent sight you find yourself forgetting all your cares and plights days, I'm overwhelmed by the glory of things revealed by light, treasures which can't be bought, and by reading great books although poor I find I am rich in thought and so overcome by the pink honey sun high up in the sky sliver of blue mint moon by night, dazzling diamond stars in their velvet midnight blue setting, and days drunken with pink honey sun and with the glory of things revealed by the light --Susy

interesting stuff do you have actual melodies in mind for all of these? thanks for continuing to share your work with us -
Thanks Rahil
I have original tunes to most of them, but not all. Please feel free to put your own melodies to song poem lyrics that lack them 
and we'll get co-credit as songwriters But then I don't know if you can relate to the lyrics enough to feel inspired to do that (?). I should be so lucky! Also you can make videos to them, you do that so well too Paul Mc. can provide tunes too and I'll give him first listing in the credits! McCartney/Susy (LOL) 
You can get first too since you'll be adding immeasurably -
hehe, i'll see what i am inspired by and let you know/hear
you're welcome haha yes would be awesome if The Man himself stops by our individual threads and blesses them as such 
hehe ♪ -
