Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places

about

The title track from the short film of the same name

lyrics

You are searching for a story
trying to write yourself a part
something you can play out
something straight from the heart
you'll have to keep on hunting
judging by the looks on their faces
you've been looking for love
in all the wrong places

You think that propping up the bar
is going to help point the way
you think that scoping out the pool hall
will help you one day
Well don't play detective
if you don't know what the case is
and stop looking for love in all the wrong places
you are looking for love in all the wrong places

Stop looking for love
you have to let it find you
one day you will relax
and something will remind you
the best times you've had
are when you just let it ride
you can search for all your worth
but love has got a good place to hide

Wearing all that aftershave
and waxing down your hair
opening the collar on your shirt
may make a few people stare
but in this life it's not enough
just to cover all the bases
seems like you are looking for love
in all the wrong places
yes you are looking for love in all the wrong places

You can look to the sky
but there is no answer there
the pages of your favourite novels
may as well be bare
you can look out at the ocean
but you can't stop the tide
the only place that is left to look
is inside

look to yourself
if you want to see what a disgrace is
stop looking for love
in all the wrong places
don't be expecting the conquest
if you can't enjoy the chases
and stop looking for love
in all the wrong places
love is not a picnic
and it's not a day at the races
and you're looking my friend
in all the wrong places
you have to let your heart
put you through your paces
and stop looking for love
in all the wrong places

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
