The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea
hey all, this is a new song that i just wrote but don’t for the life of me know how the music would go… 
The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea
There’s a new temptation rising
And I don’t feel like compromising
What I feel
Just so I could be one of them
Who was strong enough to walk away
From their dreams
My life is like a bad addiction
An uncommon misconception
Of who I am
But I’ve got no more confessions
No second grade interpretations
Of where I stand
They wanna love me but they can’t embrace me
They wanna own me but they can’t afford me
They wanna kill me but they can’t confront me
So what do I do? When I’m stuck in the middle of
The devil and the deep blue sea!
There’s a little common sense in my pocket
And a little street smart in my jacket
But it ain’t enough
To feed my inner curiosity
Or give me some velocity
Or make me tough
Because I’m instantly promiscuous
And slightly more ridiculous
Than the rest
No I ain’t keen on making sacrifices
Don’t believe in shapes and sizes
I want what’s best
They wanna need me but they can’t believe me
They wanna bone me but they can’t inspire me
They wanna stone me but they cannot find me
So what do I do? When I’m stuck in the middle of
The devil and the deep blue sea!

Ahhhh! Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea was also the name of a play performed here recently, by some British theatre group at the British Council.
Weirdly, there is a song also by the same name written by Ted Koehler and Harold Arlen 1931.
How do I know these things? Three very good reasons: the flu, wifi at home, utter boredom!
