Story Behind The Song
This is an example of how I would write a song, and record a demo version before taking it in to the studio. Actually, I like this version better than the produced version.

Have you ever known anyone who was bi-polar, manic-depressive, or simply just given to mood swings? Well..I have, and it was pretty much like the lyrical content of this song.

Lyrics
Mood Swing
Lyrics and music c. Steve Waddington
When the mood swing comes, it washes over me
It comes in shades of grey, with a black intensity
Its not something I choose, I hope you understand
To break your little heart, is not part of my plan
When its very bad, this state I'm going through
You should be very glad, its not happening to you
When its very good, its all so very grand
Just take what you can grab, and get out while you can
Get out while you can
Ah, here comes another mood swing
When the mood swing comes, it comes on in full force
Find something strong to hold, and just let it run its course
Don't look the other way, it does no good to hide
It cannot be ignored, and it will not be denied
When its very bad, another fall from grace
I feel so very small, from the look upon your face
When its very good, its more than you can stand
Just take what you can grab, and get out while you can
Get out while you can
Ah, here comes another mood swing
Try as I might, I just can't seem to fight it
And try as I may, I can't make it go away
I can't make it go away...
When the mood swing comes, it washes over me
It comes in shades of grey, with a black intensity
Its not something I choose, I hope you understand
To break your little heart, is not part of my plan
When its very bad, this state I'm going through
You should be very glad, its not happening to you
When its very good, its all so very grand
Just take what you can grab, and get out while you can
Get out while you can
Ah, here comes another mood swing
Here comes another mood swing...
