Want to write a song like this?

http://www.aortas.org.uk/aortas.org.uk/Songwriting_Workshops/Songwriting_Workshops.html

Written some time between Summer 2008 and 2009, and played on a Fylde Oberon guitar (amazing tone!), recorded on a Zoom Q3HD at home in April 2012, first take complete with honks and a few bum notes. I posted this before but have 'improved' (maybe?) the sound with a bit of reverb/EQ/compression. Lyrics below.

A Heart is like a book, a tattered hardback on your shelf
Choose your chair, find your place and lose yourself
A heart is like a book.
A book is like a heart, treated rough it falls apart
Break the spine, dog the ears, leave your mark
A book is like a heart.

I try but I can never read you
No comfort for me whenever I need to
Refer to an authority
I come home and find that you've
Left on the oven at fahrenheit 451
You're an awful cook
And a heart is like a book is like a heart is like a book.

Every story has been told a million times or more
And each time it's different to what came before
Every story has been told
When we are old we like the stories that we know
Sing of Spring when Winter brings its snow
When we are old

With someone we can re-read who'll be there for us
When we need to refer to an authority
Where we come home and find ourselves
In Books and pictures on the shelves
My heart, my heart:
A heart is like a book is like a heart is like a book.
