    Verse 1
    am 
    not 
    a crutch 

    Although 
    my 
    knees 
    are rife 

    with 
    woodworm 

    And the 
    mealworms 
    mis

    heard 
    for lunch 

    Are rotting 
    in my 
    guts 

    With 
    a childhood 
    of fin
    gernails 

    That 
    ripped my 
    throat 
    to 
    shreds 

    walk 
    that 
    chimes 
    like 
    church 
    bells 

    From 
    all 
    these 
    loose 
    joints 
    in my 
    legs 

    Verse 2
    These 
    three 
    lions 
    that were 

    sitting 
    on my 
    chest 

    Are 
    clawing 
    hard into 
    my 
    skin 

    As 
    I am 
    gasping 
    for my 
    breath 

    And 
    as they 
    each play 

    noughts 
    and crosses 

    On the 
    scratches 
    they have 
    left 

    have to 
    screw up 
    both my 
    eyes 

    As 
    it goes 
    into 
    sudden 
    death. 

    They 
    whisper 

    "Really 
    all these 
    noughts 

    are circles 
    holed, 
    bereft 

    And 
    all these 
    crosses 
    crucifixes, 

    Spreading 
    guilt and 
    sense of 
    dread." 

    And 
    as we 
    stumbled 
    homeward 
    up the 
    hill 

    To 
    where you 
    used to 
    live 

    The 
    cold makes 
    ice upon 
    our 
    cheeks 

    From 
    all the 
    tears 
    that we 
    have shed 

    Verse 3
    These 
    things 
    rattle 
    round 
    my 
    head 

    If he 
    hasn't 
    blown 
    the whistle 

    Then it 
    isn't 
    quite 
    the 
    end. 

    Verse 4
    Every 
    defeat 
    divor
    ce 

    Although 
    look 
    surprised 

    It's 
    par 
    for 
    the 
    course 
    guess 

    Every 
    defeat 
    divor
    ce 

    Although 
    look 
    surprised 

    It's 
    par 
    for 
    the course 
    guess 

    Verse 5
    And 
    don't 
    really 
    know 
    now 

    What 
    thought 
    I knew 
    then 

    You can 
    lead 
    a horse 
    to water 

    But it 
    won't 
    drown 
    it
    self 

    Interlude 1



    This 
    one 
    family 
    pho
    Verse 6
    tograph 

    Al
    ways 
    floats 
    to 
    the top 

    Like 
    beaming, 
    bloated 
    corpse 

    Though 
    having 
    been 
    made 
    up 

    My 
    memories 
    are 
    sepia 

    But the 
    photograph 
    is not 

    An historian 
    is 
    fucking 
    with 
    them 

    As 
    deadly 
    as 
    garrotte 

    Verse 7
    Where they're 
    standing 

    in the 
    kit
    chen 

    With his 
    arms 
    around her 
    waist 

    With 
    no idea 
    of 
    what's to 
    come 

    And a smile 
    across your 
    face 

    And 
    all the 
    fit
    tings 
    are the 
    same 

    But 
    every 
    other 
    thing has 
    changed 

    Must 
    forget 
    everything 
    you 
    know 

    As 
    though your 
    mouth 

    and tongue 
    estranged 

    Small 
    comforts 
    found 

    in ABBA 
    Gold 

    And electronic 
    chess 

    When 
    West Clewes 
    was my 
    Waterloo 

    My 
    most 
    dramatic 
    test 

    Now 
    I've been 
    walking 

    down the 
    shortcuts 

    And the 
    alleys 
    in the 
    dark 

    Because 
    I'm 
    not scared 

    of the 
    shadows 

    They're no 
    blacker 
    than my 
    heart 

    Verse 8
    These 
    things 
    rattle 
    round 
    my 
    head 

    If he 
    hasn't 
    blown the 
    whistle 

    Then it 
    isn't 
    quite 
    the 
    end. 

    Verse 9
    Every 
    defeat 
    divor
    ce 

    Although 
    look 
    surprised 

    It's 
    par 
    for 
    the 
    course 
    guess 

    Every 
    defeat 
    a divor
    ce 

    Although 
    look 
    surprised 

    It's 
    par 
    for 
    the 
    course 
    guess 

    Verse 10
    But 
    how 
    could 
    ever 
    refuse 

    I feel 
    like 
    lose 
    when 
    lose 

    Verse 11
    And 
    I don't 
    really 
    know 
    now 

    What I 
    thought 
    I knew 
    then 

    You can 
    lead 
    a horse 
    to water 

    But it 
    won't 
    drown 
    itself

    • 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.
