Pusher or the Partner? (songs, Hang)

TrampInaTux · 10-15-2006, 02:18 PM

You wish he'd stop
He says that he has but in your head you know he's not
giving up just for you
He blames it on the stress or the lack of things to do
And it's so painful
This is the last time you'll help him you swear
Give him an ultimatum and get him out your hair

CHORUS
It's the pusher or the partner
You have to choose
It's the pusher or the partner
Which one do you lose?
It's the pusher or the partner
The mornings getting shorter
the nights are getting darker
She needs to know
Is it the pusher or the partner

And it's getting late she knows its another night alone
I bet the dealer is dreaming sweeter than he has ever done before
He doesn't have to pick the pieces from off the vomit-stained floor
Just gets the money without a care then comes back from more
John's eyes are blind, and bloodshot every time
Used to be one of a kind
Now he's just out of his mind
And she needs to find

CHORUS
Is it the pusher or the partner?
You have to choose
It's the pusher or the partner
Which one do you lose?
It's the pusher or the partner
The mornings getting shorter
the nights are getting darker
She needs to know
Is it the pusher or the partner

She stands at the top of the stairs looking down
"Where was you tonight?" Cue the fake surprise frown
"I was nowhere" He replies
Well how come he's not looking her in the eyes
"Look I really really need to bed
Work tomorrow and I've got a bad head"
"You never work so tell me the truth"
He crouches down and coughs up blood on his shoes

CHORUS
Is it the pusher or the partner?
You have to choose
It's the pusher or the partner
Which one do you lose?
It's the pusher or the partner
The mornings getting shorter
the nights are getting darker
She needs to know
Is it the pusher or the partner

RT's idea. Done quite quickly. I've changed it to a relationship between man and woman, instead of best friends.

I find the fact that you've come up with that within about, what? 20 minutes...incredible!

Like the change between perspectives. Verse, her. Chorus, him.
Maybe something inbetween the 1st chorus and the 2nd verse.
Like an argument...something where they interact...dunno.

TrampInaTux · 10-15-2006, 02:37 PM

Done.

right-track · 10-15-2006, 02:38 PM

*is amazed*

TrampInaTux · 10-15-2006, 02:39 PM

Like it?

right-track · 10-15-2006, 02:43 PM

Very much. I'm still getting over how quickly you did all that.
You even got the end of the new bit rhyming with the beginning of the last chorus. *scratches head*

Do you like it?

TrampInaTux · 10-15-2006, 03:05 PM

It's alright... I've gone off this style a bit now... it's not as challenging, I prefer to go a bit deeper. More meaningful.

right-track · 10-15-2006, 03:11 PM

So why not merge the two?

TrampInaTux · 10-15-2006, 03:26 PM

It always ends up one or the other... When I'm writing a story I can't make it deeper because it's a story... I can't really connect... but with other songs I write I can connect.
