It’s a long way and it is scary - The World's Longest Song! - a lyrics writing competition on www.writebuzz.com
by writebuzz Admin

If you joined www.writebuzz.com last year you may recollect that we have included entries from The Guiness Book of Records associated with writing, in our last festive greetings newsletter? Well, we think it’s about time we (that is you) created a writing record of our own, and this plot enables members of www.writebuzz.com to do just that.

Each plot submission should constitute a verse. Each verse should be written to the tune "It’s a long way to Tipperary" on perpertual replay. Verses should naturally follow each other, be in context and please keep your ear on the tune!

Members may submit as many verses as they wish. Verse which are out of context or don’t work will be removed.

The competition prize winner will be the person who has scored the highest number of review stars when the plot closes on 31 January 07. The winner will strum away with a cool 500 pounds (G.B. sterling).

Readers please review as many threads as you can and provide feedback. The star of this plot will be the person with the most stars, accumulated over all verses.

Enjoy!

Title: Its a long way and its scary
Author: Darren Nicholson

Its a long way and its scary

but I'll get there I know

Its a long way and its scary

but I got no place else to go

shame and humiliation, damaged pride and regrets

Its a long long way and its scary

but I've not quit yet


	Title: First Verse Author: Jason Minty When we were young and foolish life seemed very sweet. All our days were eat and play, then we’d get some sleep. Our parents toiled to make things good, that was there lot. Till we reached our teens and they turned mean, guess they lost the plot.


	Title: Chorus (v 2) Author: Jason Minty It’s a long way and it is scary and it gets pretty tough. It’s a long way and it is scary When your ma and pa have had enough Goodbye smiles and cuddles. Hello “Don’t you dare”. It’s a long, long way and it is scary. Can I go ‘back there’?


	Title: another verse and chorus Author: Maggie Huscroft The storm that broke rained torrents, making rivers in the sky As the thunder rumbled, you could hear the angels cry Lightening flashed as buildings crashed; a cacophony of sounds So we travel on together as we search for higher ground. It’s a long way and it's scary And its cold as the dew. It’s a long way and it's scary And it's dark and dismal too. Sometimes we feel wary And we doubt that we'll pull through, 'Cause it’s a long, long way and it's scary, But I'm glad I'm with you.


	Title: Longest Song (5) Author: Peter Philips As we travel road unfamiliar, we search for the right way It’s so easy to get daunted and to call it a day Violent arguments and recriminations We lash out, then feel remorse Let’s try and stay on course. It’s a long way and it is scary But we’re doing our best It’s a long way and it is scary And sometimes we need to take a rest Goodbye confrontation Hello 'Here we go' It’s a long , long way and it is scary So let’s take it slow.


	Title: another verse and chorus Author: Maggie Huscroft We're on this road together; it doesn't have to be so hard We've got determination though we're battle scarred We'll put bad times behind us as we travel on our way And we'll journey on as comrades and live our life each day It’s a fine day; the sun is shining Just look at that view! It’s a fine day; the sun is shining We can see much further too We can see that silver lining And where the sky is brightest blue It’s a fine new day; the sun is shining And I'm glad I'm with you.
