*inspired by Susan Manley recording singing her lyrics, I recorded this in a whim without planning the tune. It was done in one take in a car park - no take two as car park became full and I'll leave it here, it's not doing any harm and it shows it could be better with a bit of effort

Listen to poem:

"nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day" Artic Monkeys (turns out I'd misheard 'crawlin back to you' as 'fallin into you' - so I wrote a different song for no reason really. Just about being back at work after having fun chatting rubbish with friends and thinking I was the bee's knees dancing in a dive bar. I've coaxed the tune from 'Do I Wanna Know'to fit this too) Sore throat is matched by a ragged aggravation somewhere in my chest Wearing myself out, thinking I always need to do what's best My opinion, I don't know what it counts for I need to settle myself, or show myself the door Falling into you, calm me down Falling into you, bring me round Falling into you I let myself off the leash, feasted on divine Awakened, now it's hard to stop my mind Knowing more, about how I could be Close my eyes, need to train myself not to see Falling into you, calm me down Falling into you, bring me round Falling into you

Falling into you... sweetly sentimental, even if it's just falling into one's self

It would be beautiful if I calmed myself down Tommy - I very quietly wind myself right up

I think it is engaging. Falling into you inspires me in so many creative directions. Gives me ideas. Great job inspiring me to dream and sing.

Feel free to do a spin off Karen - I started with a misheard lyric after all :)

"Falling into you, calm me down Falling into you, bring me round Falling into you" - Beautiful work.

Thank you - I was at a loss of where to go with my opening line of sore throat, so just went with the flow. Thanks for your kind words
