Here are the lyrics for this one - let me know if you want any of the others. If you wanted to learn them I can tell you what chords I use as well - so long as I get to hear the results and you don't steal the song for money :)
My Name (copyright Fiona Cox 2009)
I am held trapped here by this furniture dark and solid dusted and polished and kept out of the light
I am tied kept here in this picture frame primped and petted and powdered and fettered and raging in the night
I want to scream my name I don't want to play your game
I am good at giving what you want from me smiles and flutters conceal my shudders when you are out of sight
and I can wait it's all I am allowed to do checking in mirrors in silence my other I keep her held in tight
I want to scream my name I don't want to play your game
and it's been such a long time since I've meant what I've said (I sang heard here, then changed it - thoughts?) and it's been such a long time I'l take my chances instead
I want to scream my name I don't want to play your game
I want to shout out loud where no one can tear me down
I want to scream, I want to scream my name I don't want to play, don't want to play your game
(This song was inspired by watching The House of Mirth with Gillian Anderson as Lily Bart. For the record, I have also read the book by Edith Wharton but it was after watching the movie - for the third time - that I wrote this song. If you have a lot of free time you could see the movie and compare the sentiments...)

My Name (copyright Fiona Cox 2009)
I am held
trapped here by this furniture
dark and solid
dusted and polished
and kept out of the light
I am tied
kept here in this picture frame
primped and petted
and powdered and fettered
and raging in the night
I want to scream my name
I don't want to play your game
I am good
at giving what you want from me
smiles and flutters
conceal my shudders
when you are out of sight
and I can wait
it's all I am allowed to do
checking in mirrors
in silence
my other
I keep her held in tight
I want to scream my name
I don't want to play your game
and it's been such a long time
since I've meant what I've said (I sang heard here, then changed it - thoughts?)
and it's been such a long time
I'l take my chances instead
I want to scream my name
I don't want to play your game
I want to shout out loud
where no one can tear me down
I want to scream, I want to scream my name
I don't want to play, don't want to play your game

All the best.
