ITT: I rewrite The Haves

[Ms Harmless]

The Haves

when we wake up,
it just might be
the first of many blows
that we'll receive

but today,
what we need, it can wait;
we have what we need

we'll want what we need;
we'll need what's above;
we'll find ourselves reaching
for safety above;
but today, we're enough

all of The Haves,
they could not
hold a candle
to what we've got;
they want what's ours,
I just want you;
please try to trust me,
I beg of you

I wish that you knew
that I know
when you're hurting;
after all these years, I know

this light synthesis,
where we share
every one of our senses;
we swim the same

unconditional love
has been our sin;
but that's said and done

we'll need what we need;
we'll need what's above,
we'll see ourselves reaching
for safety above;
but today, we're enough

all of The Haves,
they could not
hold a candle
to what we've got;
the ceiling so high
when you're down on the floor,
just to claw at some air
is fucking crippling, sure

all those yesterdays ago,
when we should have met;
so hard, so hard
not to drown in regret;
but look up; we have
a long stretch of life
and love to live yet

we'll need what we need;
we'll need what's above,
we'll find ourselves reaching
for safety above;
but today, we're enough

all of The Haves,
they could not
hold a candle
to what we've got;
they want what's ours,
I just want you;
please try to trust me,
I beg of you

all of The Haves,
with all that they do;
let's flip a finger:
"fucker, fuck you"

"fucker, fuck you"

"fucker, fuck you"

they ain't got us

(music pauses - Stone introduces a heavier riff for a repeated refrain section)

home is where The Haves are (x4)

No siamese twins feeling every sense, that is a huge improvement.

[Ms Harmless]

took me ages

I just be wanting more from this song, but I have what it means to me

[Anders]

Well done.

[The Argonaut]

I don't even know what the real lyrics are, but I'm certain these are better

[Anders]

Blessed child, may you never know.

[Ms Harmless]

Now it just needs a new melody and chords and arrangement and production and performance

I KNEW YOU WOULD DO THIS!

[Ms Harmless]

I would like it to sound like Spin Doctors

[Jorge]

One two, rich folks stand before you
they're called the Haves now
rich folks, rich folks who deplore you
now how bout that now

[Higgs]

I'm always happy for a blow when I wake up...

now how bout that now

[Jorge]

Sia-youse, or Sia-mese
I feel all your senses baby can't you see
I ain't got no future or family tree
But I know what a Have or lover ought to be
I know what a Have or lover ought to be

[Ms Harmless]

LOL

Outstanding work in this thread from Ms Harmless and Jorge. Maybe we can get the sequel song "The Haves, Part Two (Princes)" when all is said and done here.
