I write songs all the time. I love writing the music but the lyrics writing annoys me unless I have an idea that excites me. I'm not the greatest singer but I could set it to music for you. Did you have a certain sound in your imagination for it?

Yes, I've got rough melodies for both songs. I even set one of them to basic chords on a guitar, but I didn't know what I was doing. I'm sure it could be greatly improved by someone who had some musical talent. I studied guitar, piano and musical theory for a year or so, and one thing I learned -- I have no musical talent, even though I love music. I can't play an instrument for shit. I mean, I could play from a sheet of music, but I couldn't just play, if you know what I mean. It was all mechanical. And everything I learned about setting music down on paper went out of my head almost as soon as I quit music classes.

So the first song is an old-fashioned song of the kind they used to write in the 1930s. To me it sounds like Noel Coward. In fact, I'm convinced I was channeling Noel Coward when I wrote it. The lyric is exquisite. Perfect. But I don't suppose there is much demand for such an old-fashioned style.

The second song, which I'm certain could be a chart-topping hit, is a country song. It's a bit of a novelty song, but nothing too crazy or silly. I can hear the banjos when I sing the lyric to myself. All I need is for some nationally famous country singer to decide he or she wants a sure-fire hit, and it's golden. It would take some balls for a singer to sing it, though, because it's a country song that comes across as a bit mocking of country values. But it's catchy as hell.

Anyway, I'm not about to give any personal information out here, so it's a moot point. No one could get in touch with me. But I know both songs are good songs, and the country song is a quirky country sure-fire hit.

I could try to set them to music if you pike
