Exercise in Song Speaking personally

Listen, between you and me,
I want to go home: is that so bad?
I really couldn’t care if it’s now happy hour,
After all the booze I’ve had.

Well, in all honesty,
There’s nowhere I’d rather be,
Than all warm and comfy, tucked up in bed:
Just speaking personally.

Exercise in Song Insistence

Show me the way to go home.
Show me the way home because I'm beat.
I'm tired, so if you'd see me home that would be great.
Could you point me to my street?

I've asked you this before:
Will you show me to my door?
But I'll not ask you to show me again,
As you're about to, I'm sure.

Exercise in Song Present

Show me the way I get home!
I’m tired and I really want a rest.
I drink, and then I pause for, oh, an hour or so,
As I’m not quite at my best.

I sing as I draw near:
That’s the melody you hear.
As I wander over land, sea and foam,
I seek my home: is it here?

Exercise in Song Notation

Indicate destination.
Fatigue; wishing there might be a lull.
A confirmation of libation recently done
And its passage to my skull.

Indifferent both to place
And the landscapes one might face.
Declaration of continuous voice;
Repeat the pertinent case.
