Delusional
lyrics by Shelt Garner

I have a lot of dreams
may come across as a jerk
but I mean well in my heart
yet that doesn’t stop her from saying
that I’m a

delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
good heart good heart

we yell and fight maybe even bite
she wonders aloud if we’re still in love
all I can say is I hope so bitch
she looks at me and cries
you’ll never again be between my thighs
because you’re a

delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
good heart good heart

(bridge)
it once was not like this
I was centered and she was sober
we loved each other in the real world
not just in my dreams
but that’s all over now and I’m just

delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
delusional jerk with a good heart
good heart good heart

‘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

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

‘Red October’ #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock Power Ballad


This is my “fuck you” to the fucking Qanon idiots who think something magical is going to happen as a part of “Red October.” Fuck you guys.
Red October
lyrics by Shelt Garner

my blood beats red in my veins
full of my pain
but I can’t complain now
it’s all my fault and shame
that when the time came
I let it all slip away
when blue September became
red October
red October
red October

the throbbing of my heart
reminds me that you can be a tart
but I always loved you for your spunk
cause you were my rock girl
even when I was your country guy
now all we have is red October between us
do you even remember what we had
on those chilly red October nights

but now it’s all memory
red October is no more
red October is no more
even though I still adore you
I only bore you

but differences came between us
we loved each other until the end
if only I had been more clever
maybe our love would have lasted
longer than one red October
red October is no more
red October is no more
red October is no more
red October is no more

(bridge)
November is here
we all give thanks for those close
I wonder who you’re with
if you rmemeber our red October
that was full of joy
befor it ended too soon

but now it’s all memory
red October is no more
red October is no more
even though I still adore you
I only bore you

‘Love After Life’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Ballad

This is meant to be an ode to middle aged love, but I don’t know if anyone would figure that out unless I told them.

Love After Life
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

things seem dire
like we can’t get much higher
but the ring of my phone
makes me emit one last moan
liars come and go
but your love shows
after life seems over
I can get a do-over

love after life
feels just right
love after light
fills my heart with delight

when the game seems at and end
there’s no more room for the midnight sun
the need for a little sin is over
life is fading in my heart
don’t think anything can get it to jump start
you come into my life with a grin
making me want to sing

what more could I ask for at this time
but someone to help think up my rhymes
you’re here for my overtime
long after it seems no one cares
you give me reason to believe again

love after life
feels just right
love after light
fills my heart with delight

[bridge]
maybe life’s not over just yet
I’m willing to play that bet
roll over and let me see
the joys you want to bring to me

love after life
love after life
love after life
love after life
