Take a ride through the star system on the Star System Express!

I Want To Write A Song Goes way Back and is the first song Anthony wrote. This song was performed many times by the young Star System Express Band. If fact it was requested more then any of the original songs they played back then. It simply is about Anthony's desire to write a song. It features both a drum solo and a organ solo. The band played for many activity periods at their high school. Hinkley High School had activity periods for clubs to meet. But many did not belong to a club and Star System Express played for all, in the cafeteria, that had not left campus and was not in a club. Fond memories when this song was requested.... recorded by Anthony in a solo recording.....

Lyrics:

Have you ever wanted to make your own sound

but every time you try it people put you down

I'm trying to write a song thats what I'm talking 'bout

yet every time I try I always want to shout

Seems every time I try I only want to cry

It makes me so frustrated All I wanna do is sing

I wanna write a song can you tell me how

I wanna learn the way to get to all of you

Its not gonna be that long so please help me now.

Maybe someday we'll be able to finish it

I wonder should I write another love song

Or stay away because they seem to take to long

I wonder should it have a hard and driving beat

Or soft and mellow just as long as it sounds real neat

I guess I'll start off with the music first

Tell me what you think of this ss ss ss ss

[band riff]

I wanna write a song can you tell me how

I wanna learn the way to get to all of you

Its not gonna be that long so please help me now.

Maybe someday we'll be able to finish it

Now I'm finished with what I set out to do

and I'm wondering now if it pleases you

I want you all to try and listen to the end

and if it works I know my heart will surly mend

You all should now this is my first melody

tell me what you think of this ss ss ss ss ss

I just now wrote a song but don't ask me how

I really hope that it will get to all of you

no it's not all that long you can't leave now

the music to come will carry to the ending

[Organ and Drum solo]
