    Verse 1
    Still 
    at 
    school, 
    hand to 
    fate 

    On 
    a radio 
    show, a 
    night so 
    late 

    Teacher's 
    words 
    he didn't 
    inspire 

    But 
    he heard some 
    truth in 

    the wood and 
    the wire 

    In 
    a high street 
    window 

    he'd winked 
    and beckoned 

    Turned 
    his head in 
    a single 

    second 

    First month's 
    wage, 
    heart's 
    desire 

    Under 
    the spell of 
    the 
    wood 
    and 
    the wire 

    The 
    wood and 
    the wire could 

    claim a 
    man 

    Dreams in 
    his fingers, 
    fire in 
    his hands 

    Louder 
    than 
    laughter, 

    brighter than 
    fire 

    Promise 
    lives in 
    the wood and 

    the fire 

    Every 
    night through 
    the bedroom 
    door 

    Every 
    hot dog's 
    favorite 
    score 

    Singing 
    to his 
    only 
    one 

    All 
    the songs 
    I've ever 
    sung 

    Soaking 
    it up like 
    it was 
    smelt, 
    every 
    note with 
    every 
    lilt, 

    even the 
    mirror no 
    longer 
    a liar. 

    All his 
    moves in 
    the wood 

    and the wire. 

    The wood and 
    the wire claim 
    a 
    man, 

    James 
    his fingers, 

    power 
    in his hands. 

    Blood and 
    laughter 
    brighter than 
    fire. 

    The 
    promise 
    that lives in 
    the wood 

    and the water 




    Wings turn 
    round, 
    years go 
    by 

    Dreams that 
    live and 
    dreams that 
    die 

    He 
    lives, 
    gets followed by 

    those 
    cracks 

    Tears he 
    sheds with 
    words he 
    lacks 

    Head 
    won't 
    rise 
    from the 
    mire 

    But 
    it all makes 
    sense with 

    the wood and 
    the wire 

    The 
    wood and 
    the wire 

    cuts through 
    walls 

    Hope to 
    the lonely, 
    sense to 
    the fools 

    Roger, 
    the stranger, 
    the treachery, 
    the liar 

    He 
    got the 
    means with 
    the wood and 
    the wire 

    Interlude 1






    Haughty 
    to the lonely, 
    Verse 2

    sense to 
    the fools 

    Haughty 
    to the stranger, 
    cheap to 
    the liar 

    Well, 
    you got who 
    means with 

    the wood and 
    the wire 

    Wood 
    and 
    the wire, 
    clay and 
    the man 

    Teeth 
    in his fingers, 

    power 
    in his hands 

    Louder than 
    thunder, 
    brighter than 
    fire 

    Thomas 
    that 
    lives 
    in 
    the wood 
    and 
    the wire 

    you

      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.
