come on now women moan about men all the time,i managed to see the funny side of this,but then again my husband is the most sarcastic person so i laugh most things off unless it's that you know what time. if a man ever got the painters and decorators in,(if you know what i mean- it's a saying my hubby says to me if i'm in a mood at that time of month) he would know about the hormones a women has to deal with,this is why sometimes we are super,sometimes we are ok and sometimes we are not to be messed with.
Any way i did like your song as i said before, but thought i'd add a little tip to be extra kind at certain times.

thank you guys. I'm glad it made you smile. If you think about it lots of thngs in life are controversial, if we were all the same the world would be boring i spose.
A toff is a snob who thinks he's a cut above the rest of us because he has money,usually born into money kind a thing.i live in the country where in the village there are a few millionairs,they walk around with their nose up in the air as tho they're sniffing something out,then look down on those who they think are lower class than they are,they also wont allow a fish and chip shop to trade in the area as it brings the area down.can you get that-a chip shop surely the rich want a traditional english chippy dinner from time to time?. Any way not sure what you call this in america.
By the way i've just realised that on the 3rd line in the last verse it should have been snob,what can i say - my computer didn't sense the 's', never mind shall i leave it as it is or change it as thats quite harsh.

take care dx

thank you for your comment on my song,i write my music both ways,but it is harder finding chords to a pattern you have already worked out in your head so most of the time i now pick some chords and play them together then pick the vocal to suit the chord.but then my playing is not brilliant i just do it for background sound.

power to the foxes. d x

hello jeff,just me.

i really like the lyrics to this song and i agree we can sing what we want.writing songs is from the heart whether or not people agree with it is another matter but thats their problem right? i dont think people are liking my stuck up toffs too much but i laugh every time someone disses it,i wrote it as it meant something to me but it was also a jokey song.maybe i shall stick to love songs after all.oh the bad word i put in the chorus is 'shit' by the way. anyway i really like this song.

bye d x

ta for your messages,

of course i wouldn't want to see people killed. the song is a joke and yes the lyrics are angry but they need to be as no one listen's. I'm just saying this as it's been banned but they still feel they have the right to do whatever.when i sing this song it's not hate running through me it's laughter,laughter at the sheer audasity that i had the nerve to actually write it and so would just love to see the faces of these people if i sang it in front of them,then i would just say thank you for your time and smile. (And to eclipse917 - for goodness sake i dont want to see people killed but then again i dont want to see animals killed either. what makes the human species so special-intelligence in some ways but if we were that intelligent we wouldn't be killing for fun surely.also i wrote a song about a child dying to war after watching hotel rwanda,so i'm as much for humans as i am animals.why cant we let the poeple and animals be and let the planet evolve naturally.if you play the song in the chords iv'e done you can clearly hear that it's for fun as it's such a cheesy tune.go on try it make sure to sing the second line of the chorus in a posh english accent.oh and as i said i wouldn't have a gun.)

here's my little protest banner:
HEY STOP THE KILLING! dont step on that snail.(save planet earth.)they should have used this song as part of their appeal for the documentary. what do you think?

ok maybe not.

take care all. luv d.l.c x

cheers for the message, i'm not a preacher and i dont hate the rich,jealous maybe i just think that some of them could do somethig better with their time.i'm not so much angry i just feel very sorry for those poor animals and even more so for the toffs,i wrote the song as a bit of a joke really as i was watching a documentary,i just thought it would be a great song to sing in an english country pub full of these people. hey nothing wrong with fishing,id love to go fishing-deep sea, but as i said if you intend on eating it it's a bit different, but i would probably be inclined to put it back too,as i dont mind eating it but i dont want to kill it and prepare it myself as i'm sqeemish. god if i had money i would buy me and my hubby a big boat.but no gun.

thank you again james. it was tongue and cheek,i'm not politcal nor am i into protesting or anything, but i do think people should only hunt if they intend to eat what they catch. it's not for fun,playing real sport like football,tennis,netball,baseball is both healthy and fun. this is why a lot of our creatures are disapearing because of ignorance. but thats just my opinion as i said i'm not a protester.  thanks again.

Stuck up toffsby Donna Connis


[D]I'm sick of all [A] the stuck up toffs


[D]who've got nothing[A] else to do


[D]then sit out in a [A] field a lot


and [E] shoot a bird out of the blue


[D]why do you ride your [A] horses


[D]chasing with your [A] beagles


[D]hunting down poor [A] foxes


[E]committing acts of evil


well [G] in my dreams i'm [D] the queen


so i [G] rule all of [D]you


I'd take [G] a hold of [D] your gun


and [E] Shoot the **** out of you


[A] you stuck up toff


Why dont you spend your money


on holidays and good wine


or donate some to charity


cause that would be really kind



instead you take out your gun


and go out for a kill


I'd like to shuv your rifle up your bum


now would that be such a thrill




chorus:




I'd bring my border collie dog


he'll round you into a pen


killing's not a game you stupid nob


cause really what do you win


I'd line you up one by one


put a bullet through your head


and as i throw away your gun


I'd smile cause you'd be dead




chorus: x2 or 3

hi emm, me again. see every one is being positive, so you need to be too. as you said you;re only 12, but the fact that you've started is good. i got very embarrassed when i wrote as a teenager,so much so that i threw them away, so please dont do that will you.now i'm a mum and i've grown up i dont get so embarrassed. if you're that shy about it just put it to one side in a private folder and then when you're ready in a few months/years bring it back out to share. any way if your myspace is private and nobody can see what you look like on here why be so woried hun? go for it and if someone does bag you dont take it too personally just ask that clever cloggs to show you their work, then write a song about them dissing you.

anyway take care and keep going. donna x

thanks for the help and comment hun. i like this song, i found it quite humourous, but so true. you seem to write so many songs all so different from eachother.do you have a myspace? if not- why not?  is the word bigdummycide in the dictionary? how did you come up with that one? any way take care. look forward to hearing you on myspace or somink. d x

hi there,
            each person finds their lyrics in their own way,sometimes i just sit and go through some chords until i like how they sound together,then pick a topic ie love/death/seasons/kids/money and just try to put the words to the chords.sometimes i find the tune first then keep that tune till i find lyrics later.but i started by writing lyrics and singing them in a tune i wanted to myself untili found chords to them , i rarely do it this way now as i only did it before because i could'nt play guitar.i still dont play too greatbut enough to get by. Some people like to make their words rhyme like me,some dont i spose it's preference,i just find it hard making my songs sound good without a rhyme- perhaps i should try that for my next song.some say that my songs tend to be quite long but thats just because i dont want to get off the mic at open mic night-at least i'm honest.i listen to other peolpes songs and somtimes it inspires me to write.My hubby recenly said your songs are all love songs why dont you think of somink else but it shows how much attention he pays as they're not.you have to write what your'e feeling ie passion/sadness it does not have to be about you,just somink you are thinking about ie (i wrote one about losing a child to war after watching hotel rowanda.) i just wrie and hope peolpe like them. dx

hi all, i have not been on chordie for a while but i just posted some lyrics and was wondering if any one would leave a comment.my other half dissed the fact it was another love song but iv'e just done a cd and i have 14 tracks on it and 7 of them are love songs.unfortunately for some i do write moody songs,so to them they must sound all luvvy duvvy.but in fact they are not all love songs. anyway any comments would be cool. cheers d x

just listened to your songs,congrats to getting them recorded and posted.i liked them very much. i'm wanting to swap a couple of my songs for newer ones only my songs dont seem to have had very many plays yet,they have been on myspace for a while now too? any way might just put 1 on there.hope you r having a nice easter out there,thats if you celebrate easter in america? i know some places do not celerbrate it. if not then thats a shame lots of chocolate easter egg hunts,it's all about ducklings,chicks,and bunny's and chocolate shaped eggs.
