Brighter Day

Hi folks!
Working backwards here, so I remember stuff. But basically, tomorrow I'm planning to go off on some tangent insulting virtually every superhero invented....apart from one. So tune in for that.
Anyway, I've recently been playing a demo of MMORPG City of Heroes - It's great fun!! IT's much like playinga FPS - for a start, you can jump over things, unlike in Galaxies. I haven't played much yet, but rest assured when I've had a chance to accustomise myself, I'll fill you in. Mind you, I said that about Twilight, and what happened to that.....
The real point of today's post is to show off some lyrics I've just finished. Yes, they are semi-real-life-based, but don't take them too literally. They're just a bit of fun really. Ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration, "Brighter Day":

Waking up to a brighter day,
You check your mail and the bills you have to pay.
I wish that there was something I could say.
Walking underneath a brighter sky,
You’re zoning out, thinking of that other guy.
You’re hoping that you’ll catch his eye.

Now you’re falling down onto brighter ground,
You reach out for help, but you didn’t keep anyone around.
What happens if you’re never found?
Searching the crowd for a brighter smile,
You could make this easy, but maybe that’s not your style.
We could be here for a while.

But where do you go?
And what do you know
About me?

Now they’re waiting in the wings to take me away,
But don’t call out, ’cause there’s always a brighter day.
Smile the smile that you used to show me.
And if we’re going down I’m just glad that you know me.

The sun shines in your brighter eyes,
You feel the urge to shake off this disguise,
But then you realise
That there’ll always be a brighter love
You think it’s gone but it’ll always just be bright enough
To tell me who you’re thinking of.

But tomorrow is new,
And what will you do
Without me?

Now they’re waiting in the wings to take me away,
But don’t call out, ’cause there’s always a brighter day.
Smile the smile that you used to show me.
And if we’re going down I’m just glad that you know me.

You need someone with a brighter soul,
It’s all you can do just to stay under control,
And your eyes are dark as coal.
So trade them in for a brighter heart,
But it doesn’t beat the same and now you feel so far apart
From where you wanted to get to at the start.

Still, they’re waiting in the wings to take me away,
So don’t turn ’round ’cause you won’t see the light of day.
Throw the glare that you used to throw me,
But as long as you’re here I’m just glad that you know…

Now they’re waiting in the wings to take me away,
But don’t call out, ’cause there’s always a brighter day.
Smile the smile that you used to show me.
And if we’re going down I’m just glad that you know me.

You know me…
You know me…
Do you know me?...
Do you know me?
Do you know me now?

I'd love to get your feedback, but if you're just passing through, make sure you come back tomorrow for superheroes, anti-heroes and...Dr Pepper??
See ya 'round!

Jack
