Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | "Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven |

Not sure how the Gabriel song fits into the equation... |

Location: closely held secret | Solsbury Hill tabs and lyrics here and here at PowerTabs. Here\'s another at Ultimate Guitar.
Some of my all time favorite lyrics...
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city lights
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing, stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
Till I thought of what I'd say
And which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
So I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
Hey, I said, you can keep my things they've come to take me home |

Location: closely held secret | Yeah, it is. But good luck with the "I did not believe the information" section of each verse - where the melody and rhythm diverge - that's where I tend to get lost. |

Location: closely held secret | I don't get lost on the music, just the melody line.
Some people are really good at singing melody lines that have nothing in common with the beat or rhythm, like Bob Dylan and Paul Simon. I have problems doing that, I can't get my head to disconnect from the rhythm patterns. I just do better with rhythmic melodies.
And the 7/4 time doesn't help either, though I have no problem with that on "Money".
Try it, you'll probably do fine. |
