Song Lyrics

I decided to swap around the verses of my song in order to fit to the video more appropriately:

Verse 1

Jackie called the tram
As her two sweet shoulders
Could no longer carry
The tiresome troubles of two
A little accident to end her life
Means she'll never be hurt again By you
Sounds more appealing
Than living life through
'Till the next time it bites you

Bridge

It's all a game and they're inviting you to play
It's all a game (x2)

Chorus

Reminisce This...

Verse 2

They'd raise a quizical eyebrow
Everytime I tried to convince them
That I wasn't insane anymore
Can you blame me for
The constant disputes on the ward
They said "you're clinically depressed
With complimentary confusion
And a replusion for humans, of course"
As if this mess was created by you
As if I gave you the chance to

Chorus

Reminisce This

Break

You held her in your arms
And you said "I love you too"
When really you meant
I'm done with you

Chorus

Reminisce This

Outro verse

Jackie called the tram
As her two sweet shoulders
Could no longer carry
The tiresome troubles of two

END


Initially, verse 1 & 2 were the other way round but I wanted to capture the scene of the song between the Head Doctor consultant telling the patient that she is 'clinically depressed' etc. Beforehand, the structure of the song did not allow me to do this as it would be impossible to set the scene before the lyrics began.

Secondly, the shots I obtained from college of the 'happy couple' also appear in this verse at the time of the lyrics 'and a repulsion for humans of course'. I felt that overall with the swap of the verses, I was able to naturally carry out these running story lines suitably within the middle of my song.
