Send me a request for something you need and see if I can deliver .

Larry M, I like that your request is simple: lyricist. You are one of the few composers I've seen so far who focuses on placement, which I guess is what I hope to do: place songs on the stage. If you have a working musical, there's an income stream. Indeed. Anyway to collaborate with me, if I got a melody, I'd need you singing "do re me" type of lyrics to the score so that I could write lyrics. I also have many lyrics so far un-composed. If you care for story-telling and songs making the story move/sing, that's my area. Here is a lyric from a scene where the first guy is advising the second guy what to do when the 2nd guy's fiancée has him trapped in a headlock. What? These things happen all the time, right?

Tap Out Already!

By Frank John © 2009, 2019





Lotsa guys go for the fight
It’s the most natural thing to do
Lotsa guys never ever win a fight
And man, is that the case for you!

Tap Out!
Cause you’re losing.
You tap twice
(Tap-tap, tap-tap)
Loud as
You can.
Hanging on
Is way hard-
The other side
Got smart
And too far
Inside your guard.

Tap out!
(Tap-tap, tap-tap)
You gave up
Leverage.
You stand bad
Everywhere.
Tap Out!
(Tap-tap, tap-tap)
You’re blue
And your
Enemy doesn’t care.
The arm bar
Pulls your joint
Apart.
Worse
I think
That choke hold
Is gonna reach
Your heart.



It takes stones to go in scared
War or love, let the man choose!
Nuggets of steel to go in unprepared.
Trying is golden, except when you lose.

(Tap-tap, tap-tap)
(Tap-tap, tap-tap)

Finally
Your pulse
Feels thready.
And vision
Gets dark
Unsteady.
(Tap-tap, tap-tap)
Tap Out!
Tap Out!
Tap Out!
Tap Out Already!
