    Verse 1
    Well 
    I've 
    been 
    up 
    all 
    night 

    Party- 
    time 
    wasting 
    is 
    too 
    much fun 

    Then 
    I step 
    back 
    thinking 

    Of 
    life's 
    inner 
    meaning 

    And 
    my 
    latest 
    fling 

    It's 
    the same 
    old 
    story 

    All 
    love 
    and 
    glory 

    It's 
    a 
    pantomime 

    If 
    you're 
    looking 
    for 
    love 

    In a 
    looking 
    glass 
    world 

    It's 
    pretty 
    hard 
    to find 

    Verse 2
    Oh 
    mother 
    of 
    pearl 

    I 
    wouldn't 
    trade you 

    For an
    other 
    girl 

    Di
    vine 
    intervention 

    Al
    ways 
    my 
    intention 

    So I 
    take 
    my 
    time 

    I've 
    been 
    looking 
    for 
    something 

    I've 
    always 
    wanted 

    Never 
    mine 

    But 
    now 
    I've seen 
    that 
    something 

    Just 
    out 
    of 
    reach, 
    glowing 

    Very 
    Holy 
    grail 

    Verse 3
    Oh 
    mother 
    of 
    pearl 

    Lustrous 
    lady 

    Of a sacred 
    world 

    Thus, 
    even 
    Zarathustra 

    Another
    - 
    time- 
    loser 

    Could 
    be
    lieve 
    in 
    you 

    With 
    every 
    goddess 
    a let 
    down 

    Every 
    idol a 
    bring 
    down 

    It gets 
    you down 

    But 
    the search 
    for 
    perfection 

    Your 
    own 
    predilection 

    Goes 
    on 
    and 
    on 
    and 
    on 
    and 
    on 

    Ca
    nadian 
    Club 
    love 

    A place 
    in 
    the country 

    Every
    one's 
    ideal 

    But 
    you 
    are 
    my 
    favorita 

    And a 
    place 
    in 
    your 
    heart 
    dear 

    Makes 
    me feel 
    more 
    real 

    Verse 4
    Oh 
    mother 
    of 
    pearl 

    Wouldn't 
    change 
    you 

    For 
    the whole 
    world 

    You're 
    highbrow, 
    holy 

    With 
    lots 
    of soul 

    Melancholy 
    shimmering 

    Ser
    pentine 
    sleekness 

    Was 
    always 
    my 
    weakness 

    Like 
    a 
    simple 
    tune 

    But 
    no 
    dilettante 

    Filigree 
    fancy 

    Beats 
    the 
    plastic 
    you 

    Ca
    reer 
    girl 
    cover 

    Ex
    posed 
    and 
    another 

    Slips 
    right 
    into- 
    view 

    Verse 5
    Oh, 
    looking 
    for 
    love 

    In 
    a looking 
    glass 
    world 

    Is 
    pretty 
    hard 
    for 
    you 

    Few 
    throwaway 
    kisses 

    The 
    boomerang 
    misses 

    Spin 
    round 
    and 
    round 

    Fall 
    on 
    featherbed 
    quilted 

    Faced 
    with 
    silk 

    Softly 
    stuffed 
    eider 
    down 

    Take 
    refuge 
    in 
    pleasure 

    Just 
    give 
    me 
    your future 

    We'll 
    for
    get 
    your 
    past 

    Oh 
    Verse 6
    mother 
    of 
    pearl 

    Sub
    marine 
    lover 

    In a 
    shrinking 
    world 

    Oh 
    lonely 
    dreamer 

    Your choker 
    provokes 

    A 
    picture 
    cameo 

    Oh 
    mother 
    of 
    pearl 

    So 
    so 
    semi- 
    precious 

    In 
    your 
    detached 
    world 

    Oh 
    mother 
    of 
    pearl 

    I 
    wouldn't 
    trade 
    you 

    For an
    other 
    girl

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
