A "New" Song I Wrote: Constructive Criticism Welcome

Hello, Fellow PBers. The following link will take you to my blog, at which is a song I wrote some time back. I would appreciate feedback (with qualifications) concerning its lyrical content and melody.

What I'm *not* asking about is:
1. My own vocals - they're pitchy and rough at best. But I don't have any professionals around to do my sangin' for me. So, you'll have to bear with it, but I still think you'll be able to "capture" the melody of the song.

2. The quality of the recording - This is not a studio recording, but recorded from a little machine called the Micro BR. It has the ability to do several tracks, but I just did a single track with an open microphone, hence some background noise comes in.
What I *am* asking about is:
1. Lyrical content - yeah, that.

2. Melody - and style, etc.
The song can be played here: http://www.reformersandpuritans.com/...u-like-better/

Also, I "redid" another song that I wrote, and made it just a simple acoustic guitar track with two harmonizing vox track. You're welcome to critique it as well: Reformers, Puritans, and a Geek » Blog Archive » Even Me: A New Song
