All Clear
lyrics by Shelt Garner

Please give credit if you produce or perform

rush to the door
once we hear the last roar
don’t you fret
this is the end of it I bet
onw we’re all just waiting
for the all clear, all clear, all clear

the all clear from the violence
no more unexpected bangs or booms
the all clear is here
the all clear is here
the all clear is here

our love of the future makes us blink
why do we have to live life on the brink
the jets come and go
but my love remains here with you
can you feel its roar
but when it comes to want you in my life
it will never be said that

the all clear is here
the all clear is here
the all clear is here
no more unexpected bangs or booms
no more unexpected bangs or booms
the all clear is here
the all clear is here
the all clear is here

(bridge)
the darkness of the night
hides the turbulence of the fight
explosions abound I’m afraid
no all clear is heard
and until dawn arrives

the all clear is here
the all clear is here
the all clear is here
no more unexpected bangs or booms
no more unexpected bangs or booms
the all clear is here
the all clear is here
the all clear is here

‘Siren’ — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad

Siren
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

can you hear the air raid siren
can you here the air raid siren
can you here the air raid siren

hold me close so I can get a dose
this may be it
this may be the end my love
we’re not longer on the run
it’s just you and me
on the edge of destiony
what’s that I hear
it’s the air raid siren

can you hear that
the air raid siren
can you hear that
the air raid siren
can you hear that
the air raid siren

we’re under the ground
but I won’t let you frown
keep your hopes up
it’s all we got at this point
when things are so rough
but now again the sound rings out
what’s that I hear
it’s the air raid siren

can you hear that
the air raid siren
can you hear that
the air raid siren
can you hear that
the air raid siren

(bridge)
we they give the all clear
I’ll hold you tight
know you’re without fright
the fight has just begun
we’re never going to run
even when we hear the air raid siren

can you hear that
the air raid siren
can you hear that
the air raid siren
can you hear that
the air raid siren

‘Risk Another’ — #Lyrics to a #Pop #Ballad

Risk Another
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

lovers come and go
but your departure
came as a blow
what am I to do
to right my ship of state
I can’t even get out of bed
to go on a date

I had a lover
I don’t think
I’d risk another
I’d risk another
I’d risk another

our love was sublime
inspired me to great heights
now I struggle to put words together
that rhyme
but I have to push forward
keep the faith
because tomorrow is another date

I had a lover
I don’t think
I’d risk another
I’d risk another
I’d risk another

(bridge)
my love for you is enternal
the grief I feel now that you’re gone
is eternal, too
but one day I’ll recover I swear
and maybe make a baby

I had a lover
I don’t think
I’d risk another
I’d risk another
I’d risk another

‘Open To The Dark’ — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Ballad

Open To The Dark
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

your satisfaction
of the flesh
cast a pale, a shadow
over my soul
but when push came to shove
I opened the door to the dark

I’m not afraid
of the dark
not afraid of starting a fight
with the fears that I feel
because I know in the end
I’ll win

the door is open to the dark
I’m ready to start a fight
with my fears I’m afraid

the door is open to the dark
I’m ready to start a fight
with my fears I’m afraid

the door is open to the dark
I’m ready to start a fight
with my fears I’m afraid

(bridge)
the light will shine one day
make my fears fly away
but tonight alas I have to fight
the darkness one last time before
I leave

the door is open to the dark
I’m ready to start a fight
with my fears I’m afraid

the door is open to the dark
I’m ready to start a fight
with my fears I’m afraid

the door is open to the dark
I’m ready to start a fight
with my fears I’m afraid

‘My Old Bones’ — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad

Just screwing around. No one cares.

My Old Bones
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

feeling cold as can be
but my age sets me free
at least eventually
I’m ready to warm things up
with you if give enough

my old bones
aren’t too cold
my old bones
ready to rock and roll
ready to rock and roll
my old bones
my old bones

the older I get
the colder I feel
maybe we can heat things up
with a little bit of flirting
where it all leads I’m at a loss
I’m ready to be there by your side
me and my old bones
my old bones
my old bones

(bridge)
when I was younger
I felt warm as can be
no need to huddle for warmth
hugging you was for love
to keep the cold of pain away
now I’m just old and alone

my old bones
aren’t too cold
my old bones
ready to rock and roll
ready to rock and roll
my old bones
my old bones

‘Red Line’ — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad

Just screwing around. Need to let off some creative steam that doesn’t involve writing five novels all at once.
Red Line
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

when will I bump up
against that line in your mind
the one with all the mines
is it possible one day
that they will explode

when I cross your red line
when I cross your red line
when I cross your red line
red line
red line
red line

I know you well enough to know
that when it rains it blows
things aren’t as they seem
sometimes you’re just being mean
one day soon, you’ll hit my red line
it will all end rather sublime

(bridge)
I’m ready for peace
no more red lines between
you, you and me
lay down your arms
and I’ll lay down mine
maybe a hug is all we need
to set us free

when I cross your red line
when I cross your red line
when I cross your red line
red line
red line
red line

‘Muse’ — #Lyrics To #Pop #Ballad

Again, just letting off some creative steam. This is never going to become a song, but I like the quick hit of creativity of seeing how fast I can write lyrics that tell a story.

Muse
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

Should I write you a song
maybe right a few wrongs
or should I paint your face
with smile done with grace
our love is lovely as can be
because I know in the end
you’ll always be my
muse
muse
muse

you inspire me to greatness
as my muse, muse, muse
I would be a fool
not to thank you for gift
of being my muse, muse, muse

whenever I face a block
you drop into my bed
tell me of something you’ve read
I’m instantly inspired
to write a new song or even
a novel if I have the time
you’re my muse, muse muse

you inspire me to greatness
as my muse, muse, muse
I would be a fool
not to thank you for gift
of being my muse, muse, muse

(bridge)
don’t you fret
not one bit
I’ll always give you credit
even if we won’t talk
because of a snit
calm your fears
’cause you’re my muse

you inspire me to greatness
as my muse, muse, muse
I would be a fool
not to thank you for gift
of being my muse, muse, muse

‘Cara’ — #Pop #Rock Ballad About Cara Delevingne


I find it very amusing how Cara Delevingne is the go-to female Don Juan for some of the most glorious women in the world when they want to “dabble in the lady pond” in a very, very conspicuous manner. This is my effort to comment on this situation.
Cara
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

mind the gap
mind the gap
mind the gap

I see girls come and go
but there’s one girl I know
is a threat to my aims
and that’s Cara, Cara, Cara

she has the moves
that’s for sure
always seems to have a new lass
by her side night after night
makes a man wonder
what do you have, that I don’t
Cara, Cara, Cara

I see girls come and go
but there’s one girl I know
is a threat to my aims
and that’s Cara, Cara, Cara

so many girls
so little time
are they all just a peice of ass
enthralled with your sass
or you love them while you’re with them
never to forget them?

(bridge)
Cara you should be mine
our love would be sublime
two players in heat
with moves that could not be beat
but I know this not to be

I see girls come and go
but there’s one girl I know
is a threat to my aims
and that’s Cara, Cara, Cara

‘Edit A Blank Page’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Given that I don’t know anything about music, this is very moot and very silly, but it is fun to see if I can write a poem meant to be sung REALLY FAST.
Edit A Blank Page
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform.

you can’t edit a blank page
there’s more than enough
written on my heart
from the start
for me to think
I’ve gone a lot of work to do
rewriting our love
so I want to sing praises
to the Heaven’s above

you can’t edit a blank page
you can’t edit a blank page
you can’t edit a blank page

I’ve got my pen out ready to mark
cross out all the sin we’ve committed
thinking maybe that will mend
my way to the gates of Heaven
if I don’t succeed then we’ll meet
at the gates of Hell
for all the pleasure we’ve had

you can’t edit a blank page
you can’t edit a blank page
you can’t edit a blank page

(bridge)
words fail me
I’ve got so many to say
but for the moment I summon a blank
because I want to be so frank
about how you hurt me in the dark
when your words were too sharp

you can’t edit a blank page
you can’t edit a blank page
you can’t edit a blank page

‘New Model Army:’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad


I have written quickie song lyrics using this title before, but I thought I’d try again. As always, I’m only doing this because it’s relaxing. All of this is pointless because I don’t even know how to play guitar. But I hope to buy a guitar at some point before I croak. Writing song lyrics for real for real is one of my many creative dreams. But I this is just something relaxing to do while I psyche myself up to work some on the first novel in the four novel thriller series I’m writing at the moment.

New Model Army
Lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

you meet me on the field of battle
we love each other yet we attack
what is wrong with us

I wish things were simple
like they used to be
but now the sun boils down
on your New Model Army

New Model Army

the blood on the ground
is from my beating heart

when this is over we’ll all
gong to set
peace will be at hand
a peace that will last a thousand years

but for your
New Model Army
but for your
New Model Army

the blood on the ground
is from my beating heart
my beating heart
my beating heart

(bridge)
when this is over we’ll all
gong to set
peace will be at hand
a peace that will last a thousand years

but for your
New Model Army
but for your
New Model Army
