  • Verse 1

    There 
    was 
    a face 

    on a hoarding 
    that 
    someone 
    had drawn 
    on 

    And just 
    enough 
    time for 
    the night 

    to pass 
    by 
    without warning 

    Away 
    in the 
    distance 
    there's 

    a blue flashing 
    light 

    Someone's 
    in trouble 

    somewhere 
    to
    night 

    As the 
    flickering 
    neon 
    stand

    s ready 
    to fuse 

    The wind 
    blows 
    away 
    all of yesterday's 

    news 

    Verse 2

    Well they've 
    locked 
    up their daughters 

    and 
    they battene
    d the 
    hatches 

    They 
    always could 
    find 
    us but 

    they never 
    could 
    catch 
    us 

    Through the 
    grease streaked 
    window 

    of an 
    all night cafe 

    We watched 
    the arrested 
    get 

    taken 
    away 

    And that cigar
    ette 
    haze 

    has 
    ecology 
    beat 

    As the 
    whores 
    and the drunk
    s file 

    in from 
    the street 

    Verse 3

    'Cause the 
    steam's 
    in the boiler, 

    the 
    coal's 
    in the fire 

    If 
    you ask 
    how I 
    am, then 

    I'll just 
    say in
    spired 

    If 
    the thorn 
    of a 
    rose, 

    is the thorn 
    in your 
    side 

    Then 
    you're better 
    off 
    dead, 
    if you haven't 
    yet 
    died 

    Interlude 1






    'Cause the 
    Verse 4
    steam's 
    in the boiler, 

    the 
    coal's 
    in the fire 

    If 
    you ask 
    how I 
    am, then 

    I'll just 
    say in
    spired 

    If 
    the thorn 
    of 
    a rose, 

    is the thorn 
    in your 
    side 

    Then 
    you're better 
    off 
    dead, if 

    you haven't 
    yet 
    died 

    Verse 5

    Better 
    off 
    dead, 
    bet
    ter off 
    dead, 

    bet
    ter off 
    dead 

    Better 
    off 
    dead, 
    bet
    ter off 
    dead, 

    better 
    off 
    dead 

    Better 
    off 
    dead, 
    better 
    of 
    dead

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
