    Verse 1
    Among
    st 
    the 
    tin
    s of 
    nails 
    and 
    things 

    Is 
    where 
    Grandad 
    and 
    me 

    Turned 
    his 
    shed 
    into 
    a 

    church 
    of 
    masculinity 

    No 
    fe
    male 
    bothered 
    to 
    in
    trude 

    into 
    our 
    sac
    red 
    space 

    Con
    tent 
    in 
    manly 
    solitude 

    or 
    in 
    shit 
    -s
    tained 
    grace 

    To
    bacco, 
    oil, 
    an
    d 
    creosote, 

    this 
    temple's 
    in
    cense 
    cloth 

    To 
    perfume 
    piety, 
    wooden 
    wall
    s, 

    where 
    voodoo 
    gasps 
    must 
    haunt 

    Where 
    priests 
    sleep
    er 

    through 
    bottled 
    meth
    s, 

    along 
    with 
    tins 
    of 
    screws 

    And 
    ancient 
    saws 
    and 
    chisels 
    stayed, 

    and 
    I 
    nev
    er 
    saw 
    him 
    use 

    This 
    shed 
    was 
    never 
    made 
    for 
    work, 

    but 
    built 
    for 
    sanctuary 

    Where 
    we 
    both 
    took 
    commu
    nion 

    of 
    biscuits 
    with 
    our 
    tea 

    An
    d 
    I 
    soaked 
    up 

    crumbs 
    of 
    knowledge 

    there 
    behind 
    the 
    creaking 
    door 

    Ex
    pounded 
    on 
    the 
    day 
    to 
    day 

    or 
    times 
    be
    fore 
    the 
    war 



    On 
    shelves 
    where 
    ghosts 

    of 
    laughter 
    slept 

    De
    clayed 
    to 
    sooty 
    dust 

    Time 
    wrapped 
    round 
    those 
    memories, 

    like 
    moss 
    and 
    creeping 
    dust 

    But 
    in 
    their 
    sleep 
    the 

    truth 
    of 
    dream
    s 

    seeped 
    into 
    timber 
    wall
    s 

    Until 
    by 
    simply 
    breath
    ing 
    in
    , 

    each 
    one 
    could 
    be 
    re
    called 

    Intend
    ing 
    to 
    re
    build 
    his 
    shed 

    when 
    Granddad 
    passed 
    away 

    Dis
    mantled 
    it 
    to 
    turn 
    to 
    dust 

    till 
    just 
    three 
    planks 
    re
    mained 

    So 
    one 
    for 
    him, 
    one 
    for 
    me, 

    one 
    for 
    lives 
    and 
    schemes 

    that 
    overlap 
    each 
    his
    tory 

    aboard 
    this 
    ship 
    of 
    dreams.

      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

      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.
