Two-Timing (Song 0138)
Verse 1I love my music and I love youYou think I’m two-timing – I guess it’s trueMusic was my first love – it fell from aboveAlthough I’m loving music it’s you I’m thinking of.ChorusGotta learn to live with itYou’ve gotta learn togive and take a bitYou’ve gotta learn…To live with it!Verse 2She thought she knew me and what I was aboutI said I wouldn’t change – no doubt about itShe said, “Give it time and it will all pass”But I still have music – what comes first goes last.ChorusGotta learn to live with itYou’ve gotta learn togive and take a bitYou’ve gotta learn…To live with it!BridgeSometimes I just feel I’m waiting for a music queenSometimes I think I’m just wishing on a dreamIs there a rock queen – where is my scene?Reality won’t leave me, for there isn’t any dream.ChorusGotta learn to live with itYou’ve gotta learn togive and take a bitYou’ve gotta learn…To live with it!Verse 3I love my music and I love youYou say I’m two-timing – I guess it’s trueBut music was my first love and now it’s in my bloodAlthough I’m loving music it’s you I’m thinking of.ChorusGotta learn to live with itYou’ve gotta learn togive and take a bitYou’ve gotta learn…To live with it!Outro

Is it okay to write a song from a Ukrainian point of view?
Verse 1
You wanna fight – we don’t wanna fight
You wanna fight – we don’t think it’s right
You wanna fight, and take control
You wanna fight, but we won’t surrender though.SEE LINK FOR MORE:

Breakout (Song 0100)
Verse 1 There’s a thousand people in me all wanting to break free But I still don’t know which one of them is me There’s a thousand and one doors for which I hold the keys But a thousand of these rooms no-one gets to see. Chorus I’ve got to get out – I’ve got […]

The Truth Is…. (Song 1021)
https://the-lost-connection.com/the-truth-is-song-1021/
Feet on the ground
Above is the sky
Sea surrounds
Far and wide
Neighbours we see
Strangers on TV
Words in the papers
Can we believe thatThe truth is the truth
And what they say’s a lie…
Is a lie?We appeared through evolution
The pinnacle of creation
With hands that could write
A living revelation
We created languages
With alphabets and words
Numbers and money
For the working world.And now…
In the history of time
We discovered caves
Castles, graves
Weapons, bones
Artefacts and Precious stones
Story books
Poems, rhymes
Fables, fairy tales
And the bible!God knows!
What happened?
Adam and Eve
Jesus Christ
Virgin Mary
Son of God
Crucified
Why?Good and evil
Heaven and hell
Faith healers
Relentless killers
Predators, pray
The meek, weak
Wither and die
Even if we pray
Is this the way
God intended?The truth is…?
The truth is…?
The truth is…?Warlocks, wizards,
Witches casting spells
Spirits, ghosts and
Ghouls.What is true?
What can we believe?
What is true?Even what we see
Is it reality?
We have visions
We have dreams
But our thoughts can’t be seen
By anyone but ourselves.Alcohol, medication
Hallucination, frustration
Disorder, disillusion
Doubt!
Religion, prison
Laws and rights
Rules, freedom
Corruption, hypocrites
Bureaucrats.The truth is the truth…
And what they say’s a lie…
Is a lie.Can we believe what we see?
Do we believe what they say?
The facts are questionable
Throughout history.The truth is the truth…
And what they said’s a lie…
Is a lie.But, in fact
It’s true to say
Nothing’s for sure
When the truth can cause
Repercussions, conflict
Hatred – death!
Less said the better (they say)
Less we see, less we grieve
Out of sight – out of mind
But war is more
Than just a little secret
Between two armies
It’s more!
The world’s entwined
In business, travel
Investment, families
Friends.We have hearts that care
For those in trouble
And despair
Facing devastation
Disaster and terror
We must protect
Respect the innocent
Fight the offender
Avoid surrender
And defeat.The reasons
For attack
Are assumed, presumed
Guessed or explained
But sometimes
The truth is hidden
Or never disclosed
Or instead
Disguised in lies
For self-justification
And approval.The truth is…?
The truth is…?
The truth is…?© 2022 – Colin E. Pyle

Just A Question (Before Things Get Heavy) (Song 008)
https://the-lost-connection.com/just-a-question-before-things-get-heavy-song-008/
This was written in 1990 and recorded about 6 years later. It was part of my ‘Reality In Dreamland’ story and was finally released in 2020 (although taken from a tape recording).
"Are my ideas the right ideas? Is this shape a shapeless shape? Is it gonna make or break? Either way how long will it take? If it doesn't go anywhere what changes will I have to make? I like writing songs as a form of expression, I like playing music with a hint of aggression, my songs are on paper, my music's on tape, I'd like it on CD, but is it the right shape?"
As it happens, no changes were made and I continued in my own slow progressive kind of way. Unsuccessful, but true to myself, nonetheless. The album is ‘Mask Of Reality – Reality In Dreamland’, but still not on CD, just MP3 format.

Death
https://wordpress.com/edit/page/126658326/3696
Death is deeper than life!
Life lasts a lifetime
But death lasts forever
Life is about existing
Fighting, surviving, compromising
And persistently trying.Death is a brief occurrence
That creates a permanent state
An end to internal battles
By an external escape.What was is no more
Overlooked and disregarded
Life is an act as a matter of fact
But death is for real.Death is deeper than life
Whether buried or cremated
The late, the great, passed away
But memories were created.Life is predictable
We’re born, we live, we die
But death is much deeper
Because the afterlife’s unknown.Death is deeper than life
Especially when 6 feet under
The end of life is the beginning of death
Which will last forever.© 2019 – Colin E. Pyle

Tales Of The Unexpected (Song 796)
You maybe on track, then derailed
You think you’ve passed, but discovered you’ve failed
You maybe married, but in time divorce
You feel at ease, but then you’re forced
Into the unexpected
You feel loved but then neglected
On a winning streak, but then rejected
And then you question what the heck’s going on
In life? Divorced with no wife
Everything you do makes you think twice
Now never knowing what lies ahead
You feel healthy, but you could soon be dead…
Tomorrow, gotta rise above sorrow
Try not to wallow in what is and what isn’t anymore
Time to learn from the mistakes before
When all’s gone you’ve got to be strong
And after the demise, rise
Above pessimism and depression
Learn and lean towards progression
That’s the endeavour – easier said than done, but
Whatever may happen you never know
Try your best and see what shows
Life is a game and for winning we aim
For contention’s key avoiding greed
Instead of trapped we need to be freed
Have the inclination to slowly progress…
Into a life of happiness.Life – tales of the unexpected.

Too Much! (Song 183): The latest recording
Hi everyone,
This was written in 1994 and recorded from scratch on the morning of 06-06-2020. This year I have recorded 23 new songs, some of which I am happy with and some not so good, but they are the best I can do in the time I have and within my capabilities. The music was created very quickly and the vocals were done in one take. They aren’t brilliant but they’ll do for now – the vocoder was not used which sometimes I do need to use). Hope you like this song in it’s early development.

The last lyrics written were, ‘Two Minds (In The Same Boat)’
This is Song 830. I was very chuffed with this set of lyrics which I wrote last weekend. As with all the lyrics I write, they are very clear in meaning at the time they are written, but later the depth at which they were being written is harder to comprehend. Nonetheless, this was a very meaningful piece that explained a situation that is very hard to explain in normal conversation. In the form of lyrics I find it much easier expressing feelings on certain matters. I still use metaphors a lot and water still represents love (since ‘Symbol Explanation’ was written back in the very early 90’s). I have amended it slightly since last weekend and split it into verses, bridges and choruses now.
