Lyrics: Maybe I’ll talk about life The ups and the downs, the misery and strife But it’s been done before In a lot of different ways Maybe I’ll sing about love But without much experience to talk of What would be the point? To connect with more people perhaps? So, I’ll give it a try To write what the world has been writing since the dawn of time I will capture the songs That sum up the way in whic...

Song by Jamie Kimathi Milburn Lyrics: You all know how it feels to be bored We’ve all had moments of boredom But what’s it like to be bored all the time? When there’s no reason to want, all you do is whinge and whine Where every day is an uphill climb To find a glimmer of joy Does being bored make you unhappy? We’ve all felt unhappiness But how do you cope with feeling alone? You want companions…...

Song by Jamie Kimathi Milburn Lyrics: At the start things are good things are working out Then it takes a little turn You’ve got nothing in common You’ve got nothing to learn So you kiss and you smile and you stand there empty Hoping you can work it out But weighing up all the options You know you can’t hang about And so you find the words to say to her A simple thank you but no thanks Tomorrow co...

Song by Jamie Kimathi Milburn Lyrics: People try too hard sometimes You can see it in their eyes Wasted energy, wasted mess It’s not their fault I try too hard to lose When it’s already lost Maybe it’s why I refuse To be happy, oh yeah. I sing the same old blues Even though it makes me sad I had it all but I blew it I had it all but I blew it Where has the time gone? Where has the time gone? You m...

This is a short song using the poem "If I Were King" by Alan Alexander Milne as apart of my children's poetry album. Music by Jamie Kimathi Milburn Lyrics: I often wish I were a King, And then I could do anything. If only I were King of Spain, I'd take my hat off in the rain. If only I were King of France, I wouldn't brush my hair for aunts. I think, if I were King of Greece, I'd push things off t...
