"Grin From Ear To Ear" a Hook original

[Hook]

**9/21/13  wasn't pleased with the final mix, a bit too much leveler brought the traffic sounds too loud for my tastes, redid in audacity & I think this is better!

New from Nissan Sentra Studios, written Wednesday, recorded yesterday. I really dig the way the cars are passing in the background. It was done with a stereo mic & if you really listen you can hear which direction they are going.

Grin From Ear To Ear

written & performed by Hook

I don't need a thing & I guess that we could go without a few
Carefully we'll pick & choose Calculate the size we'll lose
Compare the consequences learn the liabilities
Forgive the unforgiving Leave the flowers but take the leaves

Hopefully we will be cleansed
Start from scratch healthy once again

Following seems simple & simple seems just right
I'd hate to overwhelm myself & ruin your night
I notice that you seem quite free] & think for yourself
So follow me, I'll set you free, you're guaranteed great wealth

Hopefully we will be cleansed
Start from scratch healthy once again
Suddenly it will be clear
& with no questions you don't need any answers
So grin from ear to ear

I wonder I can even buy what I sell
Am I on my way to greatness?
Or am I on my way to hell

Sacrifice is giving & giving can cause pain
Tears can fall for happiness just as easily as pain
Just wanting to help is never very helpful at all
 & falling on a mattress can be the most painful fall
