hey kids, as Ive said lately Nick cave has been a huge influence on my style, and too show this I wanted to send you a piece that I have been working on and just finished...
it is originally a Nick cave song(which I will give you the lyrics too) and then I finished it using my own creativity..
this sounds funny, but you'll see, anyways if anywone is interested I would like to see other completions, of songs by U2, or any band that you really like... so if interested try it out.. it is a nice change to your creative habits..
here goes nothing
 
ok this is the original song, next I will place my distinct finale to it..


From Her To Eternity

Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
You know, she lives in room 29
Why... Why... that's the one right up top a mine
Ah start to cry, Ah start to cry
O Ah hear her walkin'
Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards
All thru this lonesome night
Ah hear her crying too.
Hot-tears come splashin on down
Leaking thru the cracks,
Down upon my face, Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
Walk'n'cry Walk'n'cry-y!!!

From her to eternity!

Ah read her diary on her sheets
Scrutinizin' every lil bit of dirt
Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my shirt
Fled outa the window,
And shinning it down the vine
Outa her night-mare, and back into mine
Mine! O Mine!

From her to eternity!
Cry! Cry! CRY!
She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
and standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
Listen, Ah know it must sound absurd
but Ah can hear the most melancholy sound
Ah ever heard!
Walk'n'cry! Kneel'n'cry-y!

From her to eternity!

O tell me why? O tell me why?
Oh Why? Why? Why?
O tell me why and don't tell me a lie!
Why the ceiling still shakes? Shakes! Shakes! Shakes!
Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?
This desire to possess her is a wound
and its naggin at me like a shrew
but, Ah know, that to possess her
Is, therefore, not to desire her.
O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!
Go! Go-o-o! From her to eternity!
 
THis is my ending... to the above song by Nick Cave...

~I try to falla sleep tonight
she has drowned her tears in wine
ah woke upa next mournin?
ah lying to my self, saying ima fine
recognize that lil girls page under my pillow
riped ?n? creased, I went to the window
locked away in hera diary
ah withdraw the page to see the tree
her ah emotions had beena locked away

from her to eternity
from her to eternity
from her to eternity

only for me to ah read
only for me
for me to ponder
for me to ah scrutinize
my desire, ah had to Feed
ah pusha myself up ?em stairs
ah getta myself to the top
ah had an itch like a grizzly bear
For she was what I need
the rooma spinning
couldnt make it stop
my teeth chipping wit? greed

from her to eternity
from her to eternity
from her to eternity

ah hada night-mare, flood to my head
ita came across me drowning all my fears
she was ah drowning wit? me, her tears,
she couldn?t possess her own life
so I wanna take it froma her
my senses keen, sharp as a knife
I wanted to take it froma her
looken outa my window I see a crowd o? strangers
staring right througha me
only there to see
to see her body strewn across the tree
woven in and outa ?em branches
them police know not what to say
so they said it anyway
so that was the way she wanted to go?

from her to eternity
from her to eternity
from her to eternity

now ah am sitting in my den
awaiting for someone new above mya head
starvin? for her moanin?
ah am lost in my night-mare
ah cant hear no groaning
many a moons passed
vacancy in room 29
just ah like that lil girl, the tree is no more
in my boots you?ll find thorns from her vine
ah gotta leaves and branches on the floor
pardon if ya dont look in my pantry
for ah have no more desire
to clean dem up anymore

from her to eternity
from her to eternity
