@ParadoxQ what genre is that intended to be?
It's pop/singer&songwriter material with big band instruments backing it up, that's at least what I am thinking haven't recorded this one yet tho

I kinda read it as a soft rock sort of thing, so it's not that far off from what I expected, but anyway... I like it, would like to hear the finished product.

Street Busking Man

I walk down through the city streets,
An old man he looks in my eyes,
Guitar strumming and tapping feet,
I listen to his harsh cries,

He's a street busking man,
Only a street busking man

His six string is his only friend,
I feel sad for him as he tries,
Those tales of heartbreak and the end,
And all those people they despise,

That street busking man,
The old street busking man,

Those kids on the street look away,
They like sounds of the modern day,
This man sings of those years ago,
The kid's don't want to hear him, no...

Not that street busking man,
Goddamn street busking man,

Now as the dusk falls,
He packs his guitar away,
Oh he feels so small,
There's no money earnt today

Oooh oh oh Oooh oh oh,

For the street busking man,
Poor old street busking man,
That sad street busking man,
The tragic stree busking man,

Oooh oh oh Oooh oh oh,

The street, busking, man...

Okay... let's get this going. I'm going to send each of you who submitted a lyric/poem a message, and hopefully we can get all the numbers in pretty quickly, so we can atleast get the Feb contest going almost on time.

Here's how you're gonna vote:

TheNiceGuy 7/10
ParadoxQ 8/10
mcrfobes914 6/10
Atrocious 7/10

I scored each one on a scale of 1 to 10, using only whole numbers. Notice how I didn't score my own. Easy, right?

Remember that you can still vote even if you didn't submit anything. If you did submit a lyric/poem, then you are required to vote or else you get disqualified.

Have fun, and thanks for participating.
