Underneath the radar

.

Jumbo

Born slippy

Beautiful burnout

.

Underneath the radar

bells & circles

push upstairs

.

Low Burn

Sola Sistim

And I will kiss

.

Denver luna

moon in water

scribble

A wee Scottish connection again today as U is for Ultravox (with the fab Midge Ure🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿).

.

I want to be a machine

~

I remember

I never wanted to begin

~

Frozen ones

All stood still

~

Building

Artificial life

~

I am alive

Just for a moment

~

Someone else’s clothes

Stranger within

~

The closer I get to you

We stand alone

~

Face to face

Distant smile

~

I can’t stay long

One small day

~

Paths and angles

No turning back

~

When the time comes

Future picture forever

~

Dancing with tears in my eyes

Your name (has slipped my mind again)

Gorgeous flow here and beautiful rhyme patters, machine, begin, within, still and so on. Thank you Darienne!

Beautiful, Darienne - the two line conflict “the closer I get to you / we stand alone” anchors the feelings in all the stanzas

The Undertones

.

You've got my number

(why don't you use it)

I can only dream

It's going to happen

Wednesday week

The positive touch

Valentine's treatment

Nine times out of ten

Love before romance

She can only say no

Love when you create these without the obvious one! Gives us a chance to meet the rest of the songs. Love this one. Each line perfectly made to deliver the next! “You’ve got my number, (why don’t you use it)” followed by “I can only dream“ is the perfect start to a rom-com! Thank you Lisa!

Thanks, I like choosing the song titles that aren't the obvious ones and I love making a story from them!

U is for UB40

She caught the train

Many rivers to cross

Kingston Town

Higher ground

Just any other girl, homely girl

Say nothing coz it isn’t true

Things you say you love,

Don’t blame me

Reefer madness

Mi spliff

The buzz feeling

Red red wine

Things ain’t like they used to be

Sorry, rat in mi kitchen

Contaminated minds

Dance with the devil

Tear in my eyes

Promises and lies

I think it’s going to rain today

c’est la vie

Hope she’ll be happier

Keep on moving

Grooving out on life

Wildcat

Where did I go wrong?

Mi spliff.

The end of the relationship starts with the girl leaving and the journey she’s been on. Girlpower piece out of UB40 reggae vibes. I think a slight type on things you say you love right? Second you missing?

Doesn’t work as well but wasn’t an intentional omission.

URIAH HEEP (Poem)

BEEN AWAY TOO LONG, CHASING SHADOWS,

ALL MY LIFE,

LONELY NIGHTS, I CAN SEE YOU,

ACROSS THE MILES,

WHEN THE WAR IS OVER, I WANNA BE FREE,

HOME AGAIN TO YOU... 😎

Thanks! It's similar to the one I did on E Day, but more succinct. And I think the titles that were available to use here definitely make the story even more moving... 😎

Uncle Tupelo

So called friend

Looking for a way out

Fatal wound

Won't forget

True to life

Whiskey bottle

I got drunk

Watch me fall

Before I break

Take my word

Warfare

I wanna destroy you

Discarded

Left in the dark

Wherever

If that's alright

Song title poetry U . Titles by UFO

We Belong to the Night

Ready to roll

To young to know

lights out

Shake it about

Chains Chains

Let it rain

No place to run

It's killing me

Give it up.
