Tell You The Truth by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

My brother in law asked me to babysit his banjo, mandolin and Fender telecaster. I picked up the tele and this came out the other end. hope it's not too droney.

It is what it is.

Oh I really want to whisper
I'm trying to be quiet
biting my lip
holding my tongue
If I say what I think
If I let it all out
I just might have to shout
Let my belly rumble
Laugh out loud
Put my foot in my mouth
Tell you the truth.
Oh I really want to scream
But not right now
I don't want to let go
In broad daylight
Not in the spotlight
Embarrassing myself
Or anyone else
I'll just keep it to myself
Laugh out loud
Put my foot in my mouth
Tell you the truth
But my body language
Gives me away
It's hard to hide
Those big bad feelings
Emotions
Butterflies
In my stomach
Choking to get out
And shout
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me some peace
Give me some peace

Great lyrical piece. If Leonard Cohen can drone why not you ;-) I think this is a fine piece.

[StephenM]

That Tele looks spectacular.  I can see why people love them...

yes, it sounds great on here too with your voice tying it all together... a fine piece as Ron says

[thetworegs]

Loving the vocal, whispering a truth in my ear a confession from the heart ...that tele sounds great too

[SE]

Really compressed sounding compelling    vocal and track.
As always the lyrics are excellent, which are thought provoking.
Keep the tele, it's obviously been lost.
