Sleep tight, the wind blows
and all the leaves are down
but there's no more time for raking, not for wasting not for me
No more, not for me
Six oclock, We're on a plane to Paris
and in our dreams we're landing
Go to a party in Andalusia
and I spin around the scene
Six oclock, on a plane back here from Paris
And I been around that scene. (or) was it all just dreams

Squirrelly playful on a perfect day

Hugging trees
Hugging knees
tugging my strings
Perfectly squirrelly on a playful day
riding the red line into the ground
quietly taxing my resolve
fuzzy in every way
Hugging trees
Hugging knees
tugging my strings
My grey flannel armour
has been shred to rags
flay open my skin
and pour salt in
I don't want to see you
I don't want to see you
I don't want to see you go

Lying next to me I am
lying to myself, then I'm thinking

Hidden truths lie between the lines
Apparent lies are sometimes the truth
what lies behind you
and when you look
is it now ahead

The Short of It
3x [4x C - G - E (2 measures)]
You will not go anywhere today
That silly little bottle and the cigarettes
Just won't go away
A room full of dreams
You've got to admire the view
But they are from another place
Worlds apart from you
And so you stand there
Wondering what to do
And if you have another one
It may come to you
....lead
Your mind turns inward
Shutting off the view
And then its time to shut it off
...
You will not go anywhere today
That silly little bottle and the cigarettes
Just won't go away
That silly little bottle and the cigarettes
Just won't go away

said you seen my friend?
looks a bit like Jesus
'cept he's nearing the end
Said I think I seen him wandering
about a block away, seem like good people maybe there he can rest
Seems some people jumped him
beat him up, cause he looked like Jesus
Welcome to the new Rome

In this Parade of errors
A missing dove formation

Traveling at the speed of sight

fleur de lis (?) arrangement (suggestion)
start with vaguely classical (guitar only) intro (motif statement)
section 1:Chris and I join in with the rougher accompaniment (bass on odd E chromatic pattern to A and back ,
guitar with fracturing of motif)
section 2: E.F...E.D...E.F...E.D. C .
section 1
section 2
section 3: 2x[ A.B.C.D ] (bass) also from jam recording
section 4:C.G.A.E classical feel (the section Dave has been trying to
work in) section 1 section 2 section 3
end resolve in A
so the flow is:
intro.1.2.1.2.3.4.1.2.3.A
the intro - the little surfy thing? Em thing with the surf/minor blues riff (dorian methinks), with the e/g e/g thumping bass?
Also, part 2 - the E - F E D over A/a# - thing - I think that's best made to start simpler and grow richer for a creciendo refrain on the
part -as it's already such a stretch from the original. What I've been
playing on that part (for over 10 years) is a simple Asus2 A#sus2 - maybe we can figure a simple version of part 2 and a maxed out part 2?
I'm not sure, but I think we also had a medley with Mancini's "Shot in
the Dark", right? Somewhere between part 2 and the close? (shrug)
For closing, erhaps we can do a wind down (like Shiney pants) but with a little more dischord to resolve in a resonant A?
