Will I lose my soul in this garden? Disrobe me and my knowledge of good. These forbidden feelings will they last forever? Will our love ever be understood? Is the knowledge of good and evil the curse of mankind? Of course drawing from the story of our creation, this song describes how despite what we may be feeling at any given time, each and every decision we make has a real consequence. Sometimes long lasting feelings of guilt and despair imprison us forever. Temptation is strong.....Will you lose your soul in this garden? Bills Note: So this is one of the first original songs we started doing at gigs. We originally just wanted to do a few gigs here and there at restaurants and stuff and we basically did all covers until I came up with this song. Truthfully you wouldn't even recognize the original version....it has come so far! We recorded the early version and I just could not get it right. I mixed it, I re-mixed it, I re-re-mixed, I re-arranged it ... and finally I threw it away in despair..... Years later along comes SpeedMike....I hear his guitar sound... his melodic style ...and well inspiration strikes! Here it is.

Plastic Smile * 1st Place - Songwriter's in the Kitchen - Second Inspirational Input Competition 2017 Sometimes we romanticize the past more than we should. Is your smile made of plastic?

Just to hold your hand again ( If I can) I’d give up what was paradise back then. Verse: When we we’re cool we hung out on the stairs ( of the café) listening to street musicians play. Now I have too many cares. ( for the stairs) I put on a plastic smile for you: a mannequin with a plastic smile for you. Chorus: I’ll pave paradise for you. You know I would give up everything we thought was good. I’ll build a parking lot for you: shiny and new, paving over all that we’ve been through. Just to hold your hand again ( If I can) I’d give up what was paradise back then. I’d give up what was paradise back then. Bridge: Underground encapsulate the roots, more valuable than flowers. Singing from a cave of stone It echoed like a bell. Now a plastic smile, oh well. ……I’ll Chorus Variation: Put on a plastic smile for you. You know I would just pretend that everything is good. ……Amusement park’s shut down; café is closed. We had our fun. Being cool and hanging out is done. Could I hold your hand once more? Could I hold your hand once more? Just to hold your hand again ( If I can) I’ll give up what was paradise back then. I’ll give up what was paradise back then. Chorus Outro: I’ll pave paradise for you. You know I would give up everything we thought was good. I’ll build a parking lot for you: shiny and new, paving over all that we’ve been through. Just to hold your hand again ( If I can) I’d give up what was paradise back then. I’d give up what was paradise back then. I’d give up what was paradise back then.

I tried to be somebody new. I tried to be somebody else …… but I turned out exactly like you.
