Any road up.
It is what it is.

When you try to explain the joke
It's just not funny any more
The pleasure's in the moment
But the moment has passed
I'm not talking rockect science
Or quantum chemistry
It's a simple story
If you listen if you listen you might hear
Do you get it
Can't you read my body language
Am I from a foreign land
Oh can't you see me
Or take my hand
Are you unaware
Of my communication
It's a simple story
If you listen  if you listen you might hear
Do you get it

If You Get It

I am reaching for the volume fader... up, up, up.

oh yes.

this is so good.... the garage band drums are solid... and then they do this delayed thing.
I am getting it.

great lyrics, songwriting, singing... man way to go

[hardlock]

Another hit from the master - good one!

[Ted]

Bass strumming? I need to see your permit, Sir.

Those drums sound great – and also like a happy accident. Or did you dial-up "Swing" on purpose? The lyrics are what the drummer is trying to say to the bass player.

The drummer is trying to swing against the straight rhythm of the bass.

Are you unaware
Of my communication?

The bass player ignores the request. Near the end of the song, the drummer becomes more insistent.

If you listen if you listen you might hear
Do you get it?

Bass player continues to ignore. Finally the drummer says, Fuck it! I'm going to swing! Too bad. The song is over.

The pleasure's in the moment
But the moment has passed

[Oldrottenhead]

You got it Ted. Was very deliberate on my part.

Drums are good on this, guitar gives out blue nicely vibes.

[Ron D Bowes]

Clever lyrics. I always say if I have to explain it it's no longer funny! Nice easy going song. I enjoyed it.

[Farrell Jackson]

A cool, calm and gentle song Jim. Everything fits together well. Congrats. on getting the final song for the album done!
