NorthernSoulRecords: Original Song Lyrics
Here is a small collection of song lyrics of my own original composition (and where applicable, with a duly credited co-author)

I had been writing songs on and off in the the late seventies and early eighties, but never had a chance to do anything with them, and those compositions (good ar bad) just got thrown way, lost forever.

In recent times, I have been given the opportunity to write a few songs, and through contact with a good friend, Hitsville Chalky, actually get them recorded by professional and well known artists.

All song lyrics below have been published on various online resources, including Storymania and if you wish, you can view any of my published works there.

Where specified. lyrics have CR3 copyright certificates.

Thanks for looking at this page.

Title:  Move In Right Away (aka 'Fill This House With Love') 
Using a modified version of the previously issued music track 'House For Sale', I initially called this song 'House For Sale' (yes, I really thought deep about that!) and then, 'Move In Right Away'. It was written by myself in March 2017, then greatly Improved by Spyder Turner on 14th April 2017, involving about 40% of the lyrics being changed. It should also be noted that there is occasional re-use of the original 1976 lyrics, either directly, or with homage, as this was needed to help the storyline of the song make sense. Therefore the original lyricists should be acknowledged. Thanks to Chalky, the song was recorded by Spyder Turner on 16th April 2017 and has been a regular feature in Chalkys DJ sets ever since. Sometime after the song was recorded, Chalky also came up with the title 'Fill This House With Love', another line in the song (one of Spyders). Lyrics for Move In Right Away (aka 'Fill This House With Love') ___________________________ Verse 1 Strolling down The avenue When this house Came into view I didn't notice Right away But this was gonna be the place to stay And on the lawn There was a sign A house for sale The latest design And next to that All dressed in blue There she was my dream come true Chorus I can see it so plain and clear I wanna spend my whole life here I wanna buy this house today I wanna move in right away Verse 2 I walked right up She smiled at me Then she asked Did I like what I see I told her yes I love the view I want the house And I want you to We got together And sealed the deal That let her know That I was real We fooled around And fell In love And now we're gonna fill this house with love Chorus I wanna buy this house today I wanna move in right away A house built for comfort, a house built for love And what I'm thinking of is filling this house with love I can see it so plain and clear I wanna move us in right away ___________________________ Copyright to be shared equally between Mick Holdsworth and Spyder Turner.

Title:  It's Too Late To Start All Over 
Using a modified version of the previously issued music track 'Suspicion', these song lyrics were conceived and written by myself in June and July 2017. Again, thanks to Chalky, the song was recorded by the reformed Marvelettes on 21st September 2017 and is now another regular feature in Chalkys DJ sets. Lyrics for It's Too Late To Start All Over ___________________________ Chorus It's too late to start all over Things could never be the same It's too late to start all over We'll get tired of playing the game Verse 1 I still love you But I'm gonna have to deal with that I still want you It's just another thing to throw in the hat You never should have left that day If you'd stayed we'd have found a way We could have been together Together forever But now ... Chorus It's too late to start all over Things could never be the same It's too late to start all over We'll get tired of playing the game Verse 2 I still miss you But you'll never be a part of my plan I long to kiss you It's just another thing to put in the can It's time to move to pastures new To somewhere else away from you It'll hurt to see you go But I'll survive and so will you So that's why ... Chorus It's too late to start all over Things could never be the same It's too late to start all over We'll get tired of playing the game Verse 3 One day, someday I'll have to open up this can And when that's over I'll be free to find another man And when I'm somewhere far away I'll think of you but not every day Of the times we could have had Don't think you'll make me sad And that's why ... Chorus It's too late to start all over Things could never be the same It's too late to start all over We'll get tired of playing the game Chorus It's too late to start all over Things could never be the same It's too late to start all over We'll get tired of playing the game ___________________________ Copyright Mick Holdsworth.

Title:  A Strike Of Love 
Using a previously issued music track, these song lyrics were written by myself in August 2017, having been given an song title of 'A Strike Of Love', and a brief scenario to work with, by Hitsville Chalky. At this point, a recording date is yet to be set. Lyrics for A Strike Of Love ___________________________ Verse 1 We went out, just the other day Playing games in the month of May We laughed, as we played around But inside, I was sitting on a cloud All at once, something changed Inside, things had re arranged it was a ... Chorus A stroke of luck I was hit with love A strike of love bowled me over with love Verse 2 We bowled, in the afternoon Pins were falling, we were both in tune It went on, I was way ahead The points were mounting and I knew I led but then ... One strike, like a hawk from above She bowled me over and I fell in love it was a ... Chorus A stroke of luck I was hit with love A strike of love bowled me over with love Verse 3 Later on, as the sun went down We walked 'round the old part of town We held hands and then we kissed My mind had clouded like a foggy mist That night, I fell in love Was it something I'd been dreaming of like a ... Chorus A stroke of luck I was hit with love A strike of love bowled me over with love Chorus A stroke of luck I was hit with love A strike of love bowled me over with love ___________________________ Copyright Mick Holdsworth.

Title:  A Brand New Day 
Using a new music track supplied by Sonic Wax, these song lyrics were written by myself on January 19th 2018. At this point in time, it seems unlikely the lyrics will be used by Sonic Wax, so they remain 'floating', and maybe used in the future for a different project. Published in January 2018 on various online sites. Lyrics for A Brand New Day ___________________________ Verse 1 Celebration is the name of the game Bear your spirit, don't feel no shame You're good people, everyone (E-Ver-Y-One) Enjoy the sunshine, and have some fun Chorus 1 Everybody, It's a brand new day Open your soul, blow your troubles away Join the people, out on the streets Feel that rhythm, feel that beat, Yeah Verse 2 Clap your hands, let's groove along We've all been waiting, for too long The stage is set, now is our time Let's show the world, how we can shine Chorus 2 The sky's are clearing, It's a brand new day Come on people, hear what I say Join your neighbours, out on the streets Feel the sunshine, can you feel the heat, Yeah Break 1 Feel the rhythm, feel the beat Feel the sunshine, can you feel the heat Have some fun, out on the streets Chorus 1 Everybody, It's a brand new day Open your soul, blow your troubles away Join the people, out on the streets Feel that rhythm, feel that beat, Yeah Instrumental section Chorus 2 The sky's are clearing, It's a brand new day Come on people, hear what I say Join your neighbours, out on the streets Feel the sunshine, can you feel the heat, Yeah Break 2 This is our story, this is our day Show all the people, this is our way Wear your spirit, on your chest It's up to the world, to do the rest Chorus 1 Everybody, It's a brand new day Open your soul, blow your troubles away Join the people, out on the streets Feel that rhythm, feel that beat, Yeah ___________________________ Copyright Mick Holdsworth. © 2018 Mick Holdsworth - January 2018 Copyright only applied to the lyrics, and I make no claim to any audio rendition, or music accompaniment.

Title:  Can We Fall in Love 
Using a modified version of the previously issued music track 'My Love Is Your Love', these song lyrics were written by myself and Hitsville Chalky on September 7th and 9th 2018. Again, thanks to Chalky, the song was recorded by the Velvelettes on 16th September 2018 and is destined to be another regular feature in Chalkys DJ sets. Lyrics for Can We Fall in Love ___________________________ Verse 1 We fell in love - from the start You were my world and I gave you my heart I made mistakes - along the way All I did was throw it away The days, Creep by so slowly But the years, Come round so quickly If you say you'll be mine - till the end of time - that's alright Chorus. Can we fall in love Just one more time Let's get our love together So you will be mine Verse 2 Don't let us die - don't let us part I think of you when we're apart Maybe we should try - to get together So we could be like two birds of a feather The Moon It waits for no one And the stars They shine for ev'ryone We could be like - the Moon and the stars - in the night Chorus. Can we fall in love Just one more time Let's get our love together So you will be mine Verse 3 As time moves on - years from now And you and I, can make it somehow We'll sit up high - upon a cloud The birds will fly, and sing out loud Our love Is ours forever And the Sun Will be ours wherever The sun will shine - till the end of time - for our love Our love will live on - and the world'll move on - we're in love Chorus. Can we fall in love For the last time Let's put our love together And then you'll be mine Can we fall in love Just one more time Let's get out love together So you will be mine Can we fall in love For the last time (fade) ___________________________ Copyright to be shared equally between Mick Holdsworth and Hitsville Chalky.

Title:  It's The Same Old Story 
Using a modified version of the previously issued music track 'Are You Ready For This', these song lyrics were written by myself on July 26th and July 28-Aug 2nd 2019. Lyrics for It's The Same Old Story ___________________________ Verse 1 Here's a story , that might ring true (If) you've heard it before , it'll make you blue When we're together , nothing stands in our way It's the same old story , here's what I say There's strength in numbers , that much can be said But when you're not there , my feelings come to a head I fall apart , don't know what to do So what I need , is some help from you Chorus 1. Nobody seems to understand No one can see , I need a helping hand When I'm with you , I feel so strong But the moment you're gone , something's wrong United were strong , divided we'll fall It's the same old story , all over the world We must never ever part Verse 2 Now you see , the state I'm in The fear of losing you is just too grim It's the same old story , you've heard it before My mind's in confusion , I need to be sure Right now with you , I feel so alive But when you go , I find it hard to survive I'm like a child , who's lost in a crowd Just wanna be held , and wrapped in a shroud Chorus 2. Nobody seems to understand And no one can see , I need a helping hand When I'm with you , I feel so strong But the moment you're gone , (I know that) something's wrong United were strong , divided we'll fall It's the same old story , all over the world You're my dream come true ********* Inst Break ********* Chorus 3. (I keep telling you) nobody seems to understand And no one can see , I need a helping hand When I'm with you , I feel so strong But the moment you're gone , it all goes wrong United were strong , divided we'll fall It's the same old story , all over the world Please don't ever leave Chorus 4. Why does nobody understand Why can't they see , I need a helping hand When I'm with you , I'm glowing inside But the moment you're gone , I just wanna hide United were strong , divided we'll fall It's the same old story , all over the world I don't wanna see you go Chorus 5 . (fades out before end) (I keep telling you) nobody seems to understand No one can see , I need a helping hand When I'm with you , I feel so strong But the moment you're gone , something's wrong United were strong , divided we'll fall It's the same old story , all over the world We must never ever part ___________________________ Copyright Mick Holdsworth. © 2019 Mick Holdsworth - July 2019 Copyright only applied to the lyrics, and I make no claim to any audio rendition, or music accompaniment.

Title:  If At First You Don't Succeed
Using a modified version of the previously issued music track 'Never Had A Love Like This Before', these song lyrics were written by myself between Sept 1st and Sept 8th 2019. Again, thanks to Chalky, hopefully the song wil be be recorded by Bobby Wilson in the coming few weeks. Lyrics for If At First You Don't Succeed ___________________________ Verse 1 First time you meet It hits you inside Like a warm summers day It can't be denied You make your play And you feel good inside But she turns you way You feel your hearts - been - tied Chorus 1. If at first You don't succeed You've got to keep Trying 'cause you'll feel the need If at first You don't succeed Try, try again Her love will be guar - an - teed Verse 2 You see her out And you may try again You'll look straight in her eye And you'll ask her her name She'll hold your gaze Just for a while She'll still turn away But did you, see - a - smile Chorus 2. If at first You don't succeed You've got to keep Trying 'cause you'll feel the need If at first You don't succeed Try, try again Her love will be guar - an - teed ********* Break 1 Sometimes it seems Like you just can't win You've got to keep on tryin' And never give in Chorus 3. If at first You don't succeed You've got to keep Trying 'cause you'll feel the need If at first You don't succeed Try, try again Her love will be guar - an - teed Verse 3. Next time you see her Things aren't the same There's a smile on her face As she tells you her name Make no mistake Now everything's changed You ask her out on a date Your world's been, re - ar - ranged Chorus 4. If at first You don't succeed You've got to keep Trying 'cause you'll feel the need If at first You don't succeed Try, try again Her love will be guar - an - teed ********* Break 2 ********* Chorus 5. Now the world's at your feet It's a brand new start Don't stop tryin' And you'll win her heart Chorus 6. (fade) If at first You don't succeed You've got to keep Trying 'cause you'll feel the need If at first You don't succeed Try, try again Her love will be guar - an - teed ___________________________ Copyright Mick Holdsworth. © 2019 Mick Holdsworth - Sept 2019 Copyright only applied to the lyrics, and I make no claim to any audio rendition, or music accompaniment.
