Honky Tonk? No, it just needs tuning...

Just wrote this on my old 1930's Burling & Mansfield upright. Yeah, she is in need of a little tune but I think its got character (!). It's called 'These Things We Give Names. You can find the video of it by going here (from about 3pm UK time today after it uploads), Lyrics are as follows...

These Things We Give Names.

It's one thing to know,
Just how you feel,
& another to work out,
Which way is up.

It's one thing to know,
How to say your name,
& another to find your way,
out of here.

All these things we give names,
& crown our mistakes like kings,
& Ignore what we feel & sigh.

It's one thing just to know,
Without ever tasting it,
& another to choke,
On your heart as you're living it.

So forgive me if I seem,
Seem a little vague,
But it's hard to speak out,
When society crowns it's shame.

Al these things we give names,
& crown our mistakes like kings,
We dance as though we know,
How to live and breathe and grow,
But our shoelaces are tied,
& our flaw is living blind,
& Ignoring what we feel...

Our arrogance,
knows no bounds,
We think we know,
We think we've found out.
But ignore what we feel inside.
