See-Man-Ski
Liner Notes
This was another one that I struggled with up until I started mixing then I just adding distortion and I grew to like it. It is definitely one of my more wordy tracks. It's all about scamming the scammer.
Musically it is actually very simple a lot of the guitar parts and that distorted piano are just one finger hits. I also wanted the drums to be a bit more organic so tried to record the hits by hitting the base of my acoustic and fed them into grooove bpm.
Again, not sure this will be enough to get through but it was fun.
the only way out
that I can see
is the read the content
thoroughly
when the devils in the detail
and the detail can't be seen
looking through a filter
that keeps your hands clean
the only way out
that I can see
is read the small print
carefully
you thrust the pen and paper
pointing at the line
piling on the pressure
forcing me to sign
you highlight all the parts
that shed a better light
and make you look like angels
not sharks that feed on sight
the only way out
that I can see
is take the pay out
naturally
when the law is in your favour
and it's lawfully decreed
then I'll take all of your money
and fill my heart with greed
the only way out
that I can see
is press the issue
until they bleed
you'll kick a man down
until the final round
looking for an angle
when an angle can't be found
when the pendulum swings
and the odds are stacked against you
reaching for any excuse
cover up the truth
but
you can't pretend
you didn't know what you were doing
