    Default Sinful World

    This is a driving rocksong in the style of Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World and Hendrix' version of All Along The Watchtower. I played this song many times with a band in the 90s.

    So many times
    I have changed my ways
    And I embraced responsibility
    But every time
    It only took a few days
    Before I lost my mental stability
    And I don't know
    If it's ever gonna change
    Cuz I was blessed with a restless state of mind

    So many pretty girls
    Have crossed my path
    And they knew how to seduce me
    Heavenly bodies and angel voices
    So sweet and so confusing
    And I don't see
    If there's any reason why
    I should deal with temptation as if...
    ..as if I am NOT made of flesh and blood

    chorus:
    It's hard to be a saint
    When angels tempt you to sin
    It's hard to be a saint
    When angels tempt you to sin
    Maybe I should tell myself
    I'm just like everybody's else
    Living in a world of sin

    So I've made up my mind
    I've kicked the habit
    So many good intentions
    I applied for a job
    Well, I just got lucky
    It's all settled, including my pension
    And there's no need
    To keep on running like mad
    But it's just the sensation..
    Of complete communication..
    With the opposite sex

    chorus

    Hey Peter you sinner man! Wanna have this sung by the Temptations, and see them smooth these words?
    It has everything a good song needs!

    Thanks, Amaryn! Yeah, the Temptations, that would be really cool. According to Wikipedia they still perform, so why not. Slow down the tempo of the song, add a killer bass line, some horns, a bit of strings (real ones, no synthetic sounds!) a nice vocal arrangement. Mmmmm.

    Yeah. The chorus is very good and strong. I love it! It's hard to be a saint when angels tempt you to sin... Brilliant!

    Brilliant.I could actually hear how this is to be performed.(Note:I always try to explain as much as possible to the readers.Since we're posting "Bare Bone Lyrics" I think that any extra help bringing the songs to life,is a good move)
