Most of my songs start out on an acoustic guitar as the song "Arms For Legs" did. It helps me to get the words out and then down in my notebook. Here's a raw acoustic recording that was made early on in the process. Hope you enjoy...
Arms For Legs:
Dressed up no place to go
We have arms for legs
Turn off your radio
If you can’t stand to beg
Don’t wish the stars that fall on this night
Don’t let the scars be shown unless they’re on your good side
You don’t want the scars to show in this light
I bet the farm before, but this one just don’t feel right
So, come on let’s learn to dance
On a setting sun...
And walk through the spider webs
We’ll do it just for...
We’ll do it for fun
Dressed up but clothes are torn
We have arms for legs
Good intentions are such a bore
Light the powder kegs
Don’t wish upon a star on this night
Don’t let the scars be shown unless they’re on the inside
You don’t want the scars to show in this light
I bet the farm before, but this one just don’t feel right
So, come on let’s learn to dance
On a setting sun...
To “Great Pomp And Circumstance”
We’ll do it just for...
We’ll do it just for fun.
