Bounce Back To You
©2005JKovak
You were always good with clever cliches
I was always good at making mistakes
So many different ways to point them out
So many different ways to throw me out
Hit the road, take a hike, get lost, get a clue
Well, I'm rubber, baby, so I just
Bounce back
To you
So baby, let's start over, wipe the slate clean
It's a brand new day, wasn't easy bein' green
But I'm an old hand now, Gonna knock you off your feet
Let me show you the way, yeah, you make me complete
And this time, Honey, I'm on the right track
Pleadin' my case like a crackerjack
D.A. with clichés that'll spin your wheels
Knock your socks off, Honey, so, let's make a deal
Hit the road, take a hike, get lost, get a clue
Well, I'm rubber, Baby, so I just
Bounce back
To you
So let's start over, wipe the slate clean
It's a brand new day, wasn't easy bein' green
But I'm an old hand now, gonna knock you off your feet
Let me show you the way, yeah, you make me complete
And if I make mistakes, I'm sure you'll point them out
But lemme state my case, Baby, hear me out
What's past is past, it's another day
Just say the word and I'm here to stay
Hit the road, take a hike, get lost, get a clue
Well, I'm rubber, Baby, so I just
Bounce back
To you
So, let's start over, wipe the slate clean
It's a brand new day, wasn't easy bein' green
But I'm an old hand now, Gonna knock you off your feet
Lemme show you the way, yeah, you make me complete
Got all the right moves so c'mon let's dance
It's a brand new day, gimme one more chance
Oh, I'm bound and determined to clear the air
And if you just say no, I'll say
Yeah, yeah
OUT....
Hit the road
Start over
Get lost
Start anew
Take a hike
Forgive and....
Forget about it, you
I'd die for you
Drop dead, won't you
I'm your soulmate, Baby
I'll get back to you....
Hey Joe,
Thanks for the mixed case :D . This song is great, I love it. I've recently been recording a country song so I couldnt help putting your song to the music (a C G D progression ) works really well.
My only criticism is that Id quite like to know what you/he is going do differently so as not to make the same mistake again. Other than that this is good stuff.
I think you should post an mp3 for us :P.
Cheers

Thanks Pbee. One of these days, I'll get there. First of all, I need a faster connection--ooh great line for a song--oh wait...it's been done. Sometimes I don't even get to listen to some of the great songs you guys post because it takes so long to load. One day, I may shock you and post fifty mp3's all at once, hehe--'cause once I get started, I probably won't be able to stop.
Anyway, thanks again. Oh, and in answer to your question of what he's gonna do differently. The answer is, absolutely nothing. He's hopeless, lol.

Hey Joe,
Ive only got a 56K modem and you can play the songs as LoFi streaming audio without any trouble. Uploading on 56K only takes about 5 - 10 minutes so thats not too bad. If your having trouble with SoundClicks online player, what I did was install winamp on my PC (this reassigns the mp3 associated application) which meant that the SoundClick Player on my PC wasnt fighting with the Soundclick Online Player. Then the streaming audio loads fine.

Thanks, Pbee. I have no idea what you just said, but thanks.
Hehe, just kidding. Five to ten minutes sounds about right. I must just be really impatient, 'cause that seems like a long time to me, especially since, they usually pile up and then I wanna hear a few at a time. I end up doing something else while it's loading, and then the song comes on while I'm out with the dogs or in the bathroom...or something. But I do appreciate the help. My "allotted" computer time lately, is divided between emptying the thousands of neglected emails in my inbox, trying to reciprocate critiques on Guitarnoise, research, and writing and editing (not necessarily in that order). Guess that's why ten minutes seems like such a...Oh crap, times up. Thanks again.
Joe
The 5 - 10 minutes was to upload your song on to the internet.
If you want to listen to someone elses song just click the lofi text on the SondClick page and it should stream on to your PC and start playing within a few seconds. Now thats gotta be fast, surely :D ?

Another of your great punchy singable songs Joe. :)
Ya got the knack mate! 8)
Oddly enough, there's a couple of phrases in there that are extremely similar to the one I'm working on. :shock:
I'm looking forward to hearing your mp3s when you do them. I'm trying to get one together - but overcoming the "first time terror" is taking a while!! :roll:
I especially liked this part
Well, I'm rubber, baby, so I just
Bounce back
To you
Uhm.. D.A. is something attorney, right? I've been watching so much TV that i really should know this, but I just had to ask. Never too late to learn, I say!
Good stuff, Joe! I think you should invest in cable or something, ASAP :)
Imagine how you would crowd my playlist *nudge* Everyones playlist! *nudge nudge*
To further decrease the upload time, you could reduce the quality of the mp3, the bitrate. But 5-10 minutes isn't that bad. Put it on for upload while you're off doing some replies here. Looking forward to hearing it :)
