Song in progress...

Working on this folk-rock number.... trying to conjure something of collective action & an 'everyone-counts' antidote to the culture of winner-takes-all, celebrity competitive, bullying of 'mis-fits" nonsense we seem to be still living with....

A still-alive greenham feminist socialist anthem looking for harmonies! & all in the key of G!

Collaboration welcome.....

'Our Society is bigger than yrs!'


Don't tell me that you'll never be
Sitting right here right next to me
Don't tell me that you don't belong
Yr the harmony to my song
It sounds a bit flat without ya
You got me thinking got me thinking about ya

Don't tell me that it's no use
Don't you come around here with yr tired excuse(s)
Cd be an expert or a total beginner
Don't u know there's never only one winner
Even on the days u don't feel strong
Just hang on in there 'cause U might be wrong

I know you thought that we all gave up & died
but ...there's a power that will not be denied...
We're intelligent & we got a cause
& our society is bigger than yrs!

( but) it cd all fall flat without ya
You got me talking, got me talking about ya...

We got the internet, space travel & cheap flight
We got eating disorders & teenage suicides
We cd be so so close to safe & free
It's up to you & babe it's up to me

It sounds a bit flat without ya.....
