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” )
