Some Lyrics - Maybe A New Song

I use to try and write lyrics in the style of a number of 80's electronic artists in the early 80's and a verse has always remained stuck in my head and strangely enough it popped up in my head again this week. The simple lyric was this:

I'm looking back
and it was .....
years ago
years ago
years ago
years ago

It was a John Foxx type song it was tailored for. I never developed the song but as I am recording John Foxx type material at present it is something that might fit in with some new lyrics I have been working on in the last couple of days, and may well work as a chorus to the new lyrics. There is a tune mulling around in my head at the moment to these new lyrics. Here they are:

We look through photographs
From so long ago
An empty room
A cinema
And places I don't know

She turned and looked at me
With a distant smile
A vacant look
So far away
Like it had been a while

A room without a view
I was lost in time
In the stairway
A reflection
But it could have been mine

Then a flickering light
Seemed to catch my eye
No one was there
I looked again
Dissolved, I don't know why

Another title I quite like is "Smoke Screen" which i think is a very John Foxx like title. That may even turn out to be the title of song with the lyrics above. I certainly want to use it even if it is for another song.

The New Order covers of "Blue Monday" & "The Beach" are finished and I am delighted I have done a decent job of these tracks. Two versions of "Blue Monday" recorded, a special Radio mix and of course a long version. I will probably post a couple of the recordings on iCompositions over the weekend.
