[This is a collection of Luke's songs. Some are just single-verses but most were written on a napkin he stuck in his journal-- a napkin because he got inspired when he was at a diner eating dinner by himself.]

Also, imagine the bass up there is black :)

Luke's song for Viz (the one that made him kinda famous)
I'm writing a story
that has happened to me.
I met a girl I think is more than pretty.
When I look at her, I gasp--
I think that's mandatory.
But that was before
I wanted to know her more.

I'm writing about how she herself has affected me
Lass has made me realize that stumbling over words is not an Archilles heel

She's sure and she knows
and I say it that she knows
what she wants to hear.
She's pretty clear.
i think it's cool
how she's a fool
for that black bass
she owns.
i think it's cool
how fast she knew.
Couldn't have been easy
i think i worry
but then again,
she's a wonderful specimen.
and i think I like her
that's the story.
i think i like her
that's mandatory.

Luke's song to his 'aunt'
(TW!)
You think I'd sleep and forget?
But it's like you're wearing one of those huge neon jackets
How does it take growing up to realize it?
That I was just a puppet
Now I'm singing it
I'm singing it
out loud like I'm a trumpet

How dare you think I'd forget?
You don't just change because you took off those bright jackets
You think I'd smile and persist?
That Imma weak ragdoll puppet
Now I'm singing it
I'm singing it
out loud like a clarinet

I hate you
You ruined me
You made me a coward
You made me suffer

I hate you
You ruined me
Your life's going forward
Mine will buffer

[These ones were written after they started dating]
I don't know what to name this one
Fear shouldn't pull you down
It did me and I got back up
Mostly because of my girlfriend
I love her so much
She's a teeny weeny variable
In my own galaxy
I love her so much
She's like a bolt in my engine...

It's ingenious how I write--
I think I write too many songs about her
At least two daily-- my fingers are like a fast car
Throttling on after

Sex
I never missed out
I got it
I figured it out
This whole time
I could agree
That sex was just not for me
But I said it
I told it!
I never missed out
I got it
I figured it all out
It's not just for me
It's for me and my bride to be

It's special only with her, you see?

Suckers
You are suckers.
The person I've been writing about is right under your noses
She stands beside me most gigs--
She's the one with the bass.
She poses
And you never even knew.
Suckers
I sing it like this because I'm proud.
I want her to know that,
To hear me say it to a crowd
She's right under your noses
I said she's standing right there
She poses
I swear I'll marry her
And hope you suckers'll be happy
When her boyfriend stands before you one day,
No longer under your noses
Kneels in front of her
And proposes

A song with all the bass line
She plays bass
and I want her to shine
So i wrote her this song
a song with all the bass line
(now all I need are more lyrics dammit. Think Luke!)

Private
If I don't write this down,
I'm afraid I'll forget
I won't share this with anyone but you
If I don't write this down
I'm afraid I'll leave it
I'll forget my night with you

I kissed you a bunch
Like I always do
This time it was different
Because we both somehow knew
I let you joke
But I know you meant it
Because I did too
It's been a while since we met
I figured it was time
I asked 'Can I make you mine?'

You said yes

But I was scared
But you held me
Told me words
You just fed me
Held my hands
As you led me
Asked to touch
Might as well have just ended me
You found spots
I didn't even know
wouldn't remind me
Of someone else's touch
A touch I didn't want
But you wanted me
And for the first time
You didn't have to beg me
Because I love you
So I let you have me
I let you have me
I let you have me

Now, I'm spending all my time thinking about you above me
I think I stepped out of line writing every simple little thing you did
Every simple little act you hid
Now I'm giddy like a little kid
Spilling beans like a bin without its lid
