The perfect square ( the cutting room)

from "Greyhound Trippin' CD # 2" - FREE CD of DEMOs by Paul Thomas Butterfield

about

Simple acoustic version based on a John Martyn tuning.

Inspired by a visit to Nottingham Uni for an open day, and seeing all the student names on chairs, desks and drawers, that will only be removed at the end of the Uni teaching year. So temporary is our place here on earth.

lyrics

"The Perfect Square (The cutting Room)" © 2003

Verse 1:

Is your life one long perfect take, A perfect cast with no mistakes ?
With no “direction” to make it last, It’s just a journal of my past

M8:

I can’t go back there, any more, Just keep on moving, with my foot to the floor

Chorus:

I’m looking for the Perfect Square, Were the edges cannot blur
Were the corners cannot hide, Your decisions that dent our pride

Frame after frame, a name behind a name, were every image , shall remain
This is “The Cutting Room”

Verse 2:

Welcome to the tunnel of my despair, There’s no more love, for us to share
You’re not the same girl I used to know, No one to blame, Is it time to let go ?

M8:

I can’t go back there, anymore, my life’s in pieces, on the floor

Chorus:

I’m looking for the Perfect Square, Were the edges cannot blur
Were the corners cannot hide, Your decisions that dent our pride

Frame after frame, a name behind a name, were every image , shall remain
Welcome, to “The Cutting Room”

Fade out:

You’re just a name, behind a name,

You’re just a name, behind a name,

that’s all we are, and shall remain

( Oh Welcome to “The Cutting Room” )

Paul Thomas Butterfield Bushey, UK

A big thank you to those who have purchased my music.

Likes; for what it's worth: Folk (wooden music), bluegrass, orchestration, pop and jazz. Dislikes more music than he likes, especially pretentious rap music, pushed by the mandatory dance video, trying to look Kool. Please no more dance videos, tattoos, mean looking posers and the jewelry. It will only look dated within months. . ... more
