    • Verse 1
    I was 
    no 
    good 

    on the rugger 
    field. 

    Pushing 
    and 
    kicking, 

    brutish 
    boys 
    bothered 
    me. 

    Sens
    itive 
    and caring 
    seemed 
    the lighter, 

    brighter 
    way to 
    be. 

    Verse 2
    Mr 
    Jennings, 
    good housemaster, 

    seemed 
    instinctively 
    to 
    understand. 

    Touched 
    me with 
    his 
    gentle 
    presence. 

    Under 
    bedclothes, 

    underhand. 
    Underhand. 

    Overnight, 
    he 
    did 
    a runner, 

    threatened 
    with 
    harsh 
    expose. 

    I 
    fell 
    to pieces, 

    dropped 
    out 
    of 
    classes 
    into 
    life's 
    end
    less 
    melee. 

    End
    less 
    melee. 

    Verse 3

    Parents 
    listened, 
    did
    n't 
    get 
    it. 
    Poof 
    and 
    Jesse, 

    Daddy 
    said. 

    Mummy 
    tried 
    but 
    fussed 
    and fret
    ted, 

    skel
    etons 
    best 
    left 
    under 
    bed. 

    Un
    der 
    the 
    bed. 

    Verse 4

    Camden 
    Market 
    in 
    the 
    winter, 

    A 
    cold 
    stone's 
    throw 
    from 

    Kentish 
    Town. 

    Got 
    a 
    minute? 
    Just 
    the ticket! 

    Meet 
    the 
    boys 
    and 
    mess 
    around. 

    And 
    mess 
    around. 

    Independence 
    far 
    from 
    suburbia. 

    Doss 
    down 
    and 
    dirty, 

    tucked 
    up 
    tight. 

    How's 
    your 
    father? 
    Not 
    too 
    chipper? 

    Serves 
    the 
    bugger 
    flippin' 
    right. 

    Flip
    pin' 
    right. 

    Verse 5

    Parents 
    listened, 
    didn't 
    get 
    it. 
    Poof 
    and 
    Jesse, 

    Daddy 
    said. 

    Mummy

    fussed 
    and 
    fret
    ted, 

    skeletons 
    best 
    left 
    under

    On

    a

    hot 
    like- 
    minded 
    overtures. 

    Sad 
    departure, 
    sweet 
    arrival. 
    If 
    you 
    don't 
    like 
    it, 

    right 
    up 
    yours! 

    Verse 6
    There 
    comes 
    a point 
    when 
    deep 
    con
    viction 

    bears 
    down 
    hard 
    on 
    who 
    you 
    are. 

    Point
    less 
    to 
    don 
    cloak 
    of 
    deni
    al, 

    Get 
    the 
    lead 
    out 
    and 
    swing 
    it 
    far...

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
