Just To Make It What You Want - A A J Russe
Written 1st October 2016
Recorded 4th March 2022
The Shoebox Demos Vol 1

---

I was going to choose a more uptempo one next, then this one jumped out of the shoebox at us, shouting “me me ME!”

From a musical perspective I was missing in action 2016-2020 or so. I couldn’t face going in the broom-cupboard to record anything.

But I was doing musical things - buying guitars, playing guitars, sitting on the sofa…

…and writing songs.

This is one of the songs that I wrote during that period.

I’ve possibly played it a bit slow here because I was thinking about what it was about. It works ok for me like this. But it’ll have more of a bounce if I ever do what was originally intended.

Just To Make It What You Want - A A J Russe

Well it’s days like this
That make it worth every little kiss
And hands that held
Don’t forget

On your way
All the things you had to say
Came wrapped
Around your heart

Did we hide from you
The things we could not do
Did we hide them all from you
Did we lie to you
Just to make it true
Just to make it how you
Just to make it what you want

Well it’s late to find
That what I need is piece of mind
The clock you knew
Has failed

It’s on my wall
But it won’t tell the time at all
That clock
Like you
Has died

Did we hide from you
The things we could not do
Did we hide them all from you
Did we lie to you
Just to make it true
Just to make it how you
Just to make it what you
Just to make it how you
Just to make it what you want
