Picasso's "The Absinthe Drinker",   lyrics by Fuzzface,
Music, vocals, & arrangement by Tommy Satchwood

This potent, herbal, bitter taste
makes me feel awake.
(it) Lets me see inside myself
it melts away what's fake.

    Do you like what you see?
    Do you gain harmony?
    I like to penetrate the pretense
    All I want is to be free...

Green ferries in my mind
interact with good and bad.
The full spectrum of mankind
lives and breathes inside.

    Do you like what you see?
    Does it make you happy?
    I like to penetrate the pretense
    All I want is to be free...

(short solo)

If I let my demons
see the light of day.
Would they overtake me,
or would they go away?

   Do you like what you see?
    Does it make you happy?
    I like to penetrate the pretense
    All I want is to be free...

Do you like what you see?
Do you gain harmony?
I like to penetrate the pretense
All I want is to be free...

Spoken:
Do you like what you see?
Do you gain harmony?

Spoken:
If I let my demons
See the light of day.
Would they, would they overtake me?
Or would they just go away?

I love it.  I love it.  I love it.  I love it.  I love it.  I love it. 

Good choice with the 12-string.

I love it.

I can't believe how good this sounds Tommy.  I agree, your best vocal to date.  You have shone so very bright here, perfect song, perfect instrumentation, I can almost taste the absinthe on my tongue as I listen to this.  You did it my good man, you did it.  Its exactly what was needed here.  I can't wait for this album to be finished, burn it to a CD and listen to it over and over for the rest of my life.  Great job.

Trevor, you wrote some monster lyrics here, they sound incredible in this treatment don't they.  Every one of these songs makes your great lyrics shine bright, you are a gifted words man.

I hate to be a broken record, but for real Tommy, this is by far your best vocal delivery yet. The composition is outstanding. Rob's right with the harmony guitar.

Great job, Tommy! The guitars remind me of Styx at some spots (while the rest certainly is a different flavor ).
