Erik Larsen song with my lyrics and vocals

lyrics

TERMINALLY HIP
VS 1
HE WALKS THE WRONG WAY DOWN A ONE WAY STREET
NO TICKET HOME GOT NO FRIENDS TO MEET
ALL AROUND IS FREEDOM THAT HE CAN’T BUY
CAN’T AFFORD TO WALK I N, WALK IN AND TRY
HIS POCKETS ARE SHALLOW BUT THE GUTTER IS DEEP
AIN’T THAT ENOUGH TO MAKE A YOUNG MAN WEEP
BRIDGE
IF HE KNEW THERE WAS SOMEONE OUT THERE
HOW COOL THAT WOULD BE
WITH A WOMAN SO FINE, LIKE SPARKLING WINE
WHAT A DIFFERENT FELLOW HE WOULD SURELY BE
M8
ALL THESE YEARS IN HOLLYWOOD TRYING TO MAKE A NAME
HE KNOWS HE COULD BE JUST AS GOOD AS THE ONES WHO FLAUNT THEIR FAME
HE COULD BE THAT BILLBOARD STAR SMILNG DOWN ON THE STRIP
IN THE DESIRABLE ITAI LAN CAR STRIVING TO BE TERMINALLY HIP
VS2
HE WANTS TO MAKE IT BIG TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM
BUT HE CAN’T DO IT ON HIS OWN NEEDS SOMEONE TO KEEP HIM SAFE AND WARM
A MOVIE QUEEN WILL DO JUST FINE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE SCORE
THAT LITTLE WAITRESS DOWN THE HALL
SHE JUST WON’T CUT IT ANY MORE

HE’S A REAL PLAYER A TOUR DE FORCE
HE’LL BREAK OUT IN TIME OF COURSE
HE’S A STAR IN WAITING THE NEXT BIG THING
GONNA MAKE THOSE GROUPIES WAIL AND SING

Over the years I've been lucky to have worked with some great players. I started writing songs in the 70s but not seriously until a few years ago. I write to please myself but if anyone likes anything that they hear here - that's a bonus. ... more
