For the Skirmish “Take Away” Lyrics only as too late to make noise. I don’t often swear in a song I make public, but hey, I’m exploring my sensitive side . Written about 5 minutes to 10, it probably show’s.
The take away bit. (C) J Challis 2022
Every day is a Monday
Your standing at my door
Can’t you tell
I find you a tedious bore
I’m never gonna be
The best buddy you idealise
Don’t believe me
Just look into my eyes and
The take away bit
for you to take away
Is leave me the fuck alone
Don’t need your crap today
So why am I saying this
I’m supposed to be nice
Obviously not the case
So take my advice
Oh gawd help me
Give me the strength to refrain
Your incessant talking
Is driving me insane and
The take away bit
for you to take away
Is leave me the fuck alone
Don’t need your crap today
So please please
Do me one favour please
I’m begging I’m pleading
I’m even on my knees
A moment’s rest
Yes, that’s all I ask of you
So keep on walking
Is my message to you and
The take away bit for you to take away
Is leave me the fuck alone
Don’t need your crap today

This is screaming out for some angsty music-made me think of Blondie and One Way or Another.

That's the problems with skirmishes when you live in Europe. I missed so many because I'm +1h to you!
The lyrics are super direct and honest. This person just crossed the borders. Funny how many names I have on my list... Will you turn that into a song?

Plenty of powerful emotion. Nice skirmish.

Pretty darn clear that whoever it is isn't welcome. Time to move on. Good concise lyric.

A very recognizable situation. I am assuming your narrator has reached boiling point after dropping subtle hints that are wilfully ignore d for weeks. It's a fine line between helping out someone who you think may be socially awkward and allowing them to take you over through their dependence on you (and your unwillingness to hurt them). The lyrics bring out really well the moment when that line is crossed and the person put upon snaps... THUMBS UP

I *like* your sensitive side: this is raw, tightly written, and real. Would love to hear the music that goes along with it!
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
You had me at the first verse! We've all been there... This is very nicely done.
@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
I like the insistent rhythm and relate to the struggle to say something the right way, and imagining that that is what would make the difference.
@kevinmason Feb 2022
I love it. You can feel the frustration and frayed nerves in these lyrics. I don't like to swear a ton in my songs either, but when I do, I try to make it count. You made it count here. Nice job.
@nancycunning Feb 2022
Nice work. The rhythm feels like it pours out through the words, very snappy - like fingers snapping in someone's face.
Always interesting to find out if someone else hears the same rhythm in a set of lyrics...

Straightforward straight talking and really readable relatable . I’d listen to it! Need music?
