tinkering around the edges by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

another one in dadgad  on the £10 acoustic.

oblique in strategy
no thought goes in
just random tinkering
around the edges
unwilling to upset
the apple cart
no steady hand
upon the tiller
and where we'll go
nobody knows
onto oblivion
and beyond
no strength of will
or character
to stand up
firm and strong
they've given up the ghost
abandoned all their hopes
treading water
barely afloat
so now it's sink or swim
each man for himself
like rats
from a sinking ship
and where we'll go
nobody knows
onto oblivion
and beyond
no strength of will
or character
to stand up
firm and strong
oblique in strategy
no thought goes in
just random tinkering
around the edges

the £10 one is at work. shhhh.

an aside was playing this back on headphones and at the line "and where we'll go" it sounds like therre are violins playing, there isn't was just one guitar, must be some sonic ghost in the machine thing going on there.

You are a master of prosody, Jim. I think that's the word I want (the art/skill of getting lyrics and melody to match each other effectively).
