Right to Remain a Drunk

(Brian Hendrix)

Just a fun song about a guy who likes to drink, probably a little too much. No real story behind this. Just a drinkin' song I wrote.

Well, there's been a time or two
If I'm honest, more than a few
Times I got rowdy, drinkin' her away at nights
And I've been handcuffed, treated rough
Had my mugshot took and such
But as a free-born man, Lord, I know my rights

(Chorus)
I have the right to remain a drunk
And stumble into my bad luck 
Nothin' to lose, 'cept 80 proof
Singin' those "Bottle's empty" blues
Ain't a drunk tank that can hold me
Ain't a police-man who don't know me 
Judge and my lawyer said, "Sober up"
But I have the right to remain a drunk 

You know, and every man I see
Is the one she chose when she left me
Lord, I hate 'em, and I swing right for the nose
But, friends, balance ain't my thing
Swing and a miss, ain't that a shame 
Guess I'll lay here, 'til the cops come, I suppose

(Chorus)

Matters of the Heart

By Brian Hendrix

This one just popped into my head while I was trying to get to sleep. It shares a similar title with other songs, but the lyrics here are totally unique. I like the premise of it and how it turned out. Could fit into multiple genres, depending on any type of arrangement one wanted to put to it.

Made Me An Outlaw

By Brian Hendrix

Part of my "Judge" series of old western songs that I like to write whenever an idea pops in my head. This one is about a poor man in the old west with a family to feed, and he decides that some people have too much and he doesn't have nearly enough. He decides to become an outlaw. This was a very true story for the time, though it's not based on any real-life person.

Oh, Amanda

By Brian Hendrix

I have a habit of writing songs about women's names. Not sure why, but I usually end up really liking them. There's no real story to this one at all. What I like about it is that it can be plug-and-play with any name that fits at the end. Rebecca, Cassandra, Jennifer, whatever. It works.

Most Days

By Brian Hendrix

A song I wrote about a situation where a girl called me hostile, and I said she was cold. The rest kind of just wrote itself. Despite some of the lines seeming a bit on the dark side, it's actually much more of an upbeat love song.

She never plays fair

By Howard Aronson

This lyric could be about a relationship, or just a friendship where the person doesn't care that you're caught in a web so to speak. Time and time again they let you down, but you keep going back for more. They find it amusing that you do, and they turn up the heat and do it even more. Basically they don't care at all, and think it's funny that you try so hard and they have total control over you. This happens all too often in relationship and friendships. That's because people are so consumed with themselves, it's so selfish that they take whatever they can get from a friendship or a relationship and just keep on going without reciprocating.

Rhythms We Breathe

By Jones Lyrics

Topic(s): It works in a team/relationship, even if sometimes it looks like giving up on our own selves. Permanent self doubts ending in harmonic optimism. Atmosphere: fast, happy, euphoric, to pogo or dance on, breaking through, pushing forward, eventually scream, loud, wild Genre/Style I was thinking of: Indi-Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Indi-Electronic, Alternative, Alternative Rock Artist(s) I was thinking of: Friska Viljor, Phil Might Leave, Mando Diao, Kings of Leon, Ezra Furman, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Milky Chance... Comments: Typical pop structure. Pre-Chorus & Outro. Outro can come fluently after the chorus & can be repeated multiple times, so that phrases will sound the opposite way around: It works out if we believe, in same rhythms, that we breathe..... So, it can end on "breathe".
