Skirmish prompt: Mad
V1
I’ve felt the
twists and turns
of the knife
I’ve known the
angst and grief
of this life
I’ve fallen down
dark dangerous paths
searching for truth
but I am no fool
because on my way
I found you…
PC1
and now I am mad…
mad about you….
C
I am mad
I am wild
I have come unglued
I am crazed
I am savage
I have come unscrewed
my love is
out of control
and I want
you to know….
ohh…ohhh…ohhh…
what you do to me…
V2
I’ve lived the
loss and hurt
of the poor
I’ve licked my
blood and tears
off the floor
I’ve climbed up
steep perilous cliffs
searching for light
but that is alright
because on my way
I found you…
PC2
and now I am mad..
mad about you….
C
I am mad
I am wild
I have come unglued
I am crazed
I am savage
I have come unscrewed
my love is
out of control
and I want
you to know….
ohh…ohhh…ohhh…
what you do to me…
B
you came into my life
when I was lost
you paid a price for love
looked past the costs
now I want to give back
all the passion and love
you deserve
PC3
because I am mad..
mad about you….
C
I am mad
I am wild
I have come unglued
I am crazed
I am savage
I have come unscrewed
my love is
out of control
and I want
you to know….
ohh…ohhh…ohhh…
what you do to me…

Isnt' it the way with FAWM. I have umpteen things to finish off which i shall get around to and then i stumble across these lyrics, sit down and start riffing on an acoustic and i think i a bit too excited not to have a go with it tonight. Is that ok with you?? its not what i expected. was blues riffing and something popped out
@mikeb Feb 2022
Nice write, this deserves song treatment from a pop star!
@wacha Feb 2022
This is amazing! No one has nabbed this one yet?! Okay, it's clos to the end of the month and I may have a hard time doing more than a rough demo before the end of the day Monday but I'd really love to take a shot at this and then maybe finish it up after February.
You know how much I love your lyrics but this set really speaks to me.
@richaaaay Feb 2022
Indeed...Nice take on the word mad. Love how you turned into a positive and romantic song.
@porrectus Feb 2022
NIce take on the madness of love. Good rhyme, good rhythm.nice work
@corinnecurcio Feb 2022
That chorus is awesome! Really strong writing. Your lyrics sing on their own
@erbaer Feb 2022
What a great, passionate love song. Very well done! And in a skirmish, too!
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
I like the divergent themes. Bad mad relieved by good mad. Nice job on this.
@cindyrella Feb 2022
You always come up with the best flowing and relatable songs in skirmishes! Good one!
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
Very nice; I particularly love the chorus - really nice rhythm to it. Great skirmishing!
@tcelliott Feb 2022
Ooh, a great take on the title. You do fun takes on love so damn well.
@berni1954 Feb 2022
Oh great! Another Liz song that pulls all the stops out and celebrates love! You are still the Queen of the "downers" - but your uppers are real come uppers! :-)
BTW there is a dearth of "feminist hymns in your work this year. Or did I miss a couple? I enjoyed putting those to music.
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
Sounds like a crazy person in love (reminds me somewhat of an ex of mine).
Definitely fits the mad theme, and is a fast paced song I would suspect. It gets to the point in a clear and precise way.
@andygriff Feb 2022
Bang on, direct and powerful. Hope to hear this with a tune. "I licked my blood and tears off the floor" - what a line!
@sunfire Feb 2022
I like the words you've used. Would love to hear it!
@keithcuts Feb 2022
what a clever write into a love song
nicely done
I like the hanging last line as if something good or bad could come!
@tunecat Feb 2022
As always- tight, clever rhythmic, terse … lovely write
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
yes funny how love and hate both equate with Mad. another well written lyric, the point is unequivocal!
