These might just be the best lyrics I’ve written so far. (Feel free to disagree!) I wrote them on September 9th, 2006. The music followed the next day. I tried to keep it simple in order to not distract from the metaphor madness. C, it turned out, was not enough, so I added G. I still don’t know how I ended up with all the chords in the middle-eight when I recorded the song on September 11th, 2006.<\/p>\n
I was tempted to re-do the programmed drum track for the album, but went for authenticity in the end. (The truth is, I couldn’t find the disc with the source tracks.) The outro features plenty of silly instruments like the melodica, a ukulele, glockenspiel, and plenty of keyboard sounds. Some sick flutes were there, too, but didn’t make the final mix.<\/p>\n

\nIf I could spell my joy I’d use but vowels
\nIf I could wear my passion a hat would suit me fine
\nIf I could weave my heart I’d just make towels<\/p>\n
\nIf I could name my fear I’d call it Fullers
\nIf I could drink my longing I’d serve myself the sweetest wine
\nIf I could print my pain I’d need no colours<\/p>\n
\nIf I could ride my soul
\nIf I could wear my longing I’d be all right<\/p>\n
\nIf I could strum my hope I’d play an F-chord
\nIf I could dye my spirit then blue’d be on my mind
\nIf I could fly my love you’d be the airport<\/p>\n
