    • Verse 1
    Svetlana 
    sucks lemons 
    across 
    from 
    me 

    And I 
    am 
    progressing 
    ab
    ominably 

    And I 
    do not 
    know 
    my 
    own 

    way 
    to 
    the 
    sea 

    But the 
    salti
    est sea knows 

    its 
    own 
    way 
    to me 

    Verse 2
    And the 
    city 
    that 
    turns, 

    turns 
    protracted 
    and slow 

    And 
    I find 
    myself 
    toeing 

    th'Embarcadero 

    And 
    I find 
    myself 
    knowing 

    The 
    things 
    that 
    I 
    knew 

    Which 
    is all 
    that you can 
    know 

    On this 
    side 
    of 
    the blue 

    Verse 3
    And 
    Jaime has 
    eyes 

    Black 
    and 
    shiny 
    as boots 

    And 
    they march 
    at you 
    two- 
    by- 

    two 

    (Re- loo re- loo); 

    When she 
    looks 
    at 
    you 

    You 
    know 
    she's 
    nowhere 

    near 
    through: 

    It's the 
    kindest 
    heart 
    beating 

    This 
    side 
    of 
    the blue 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    And 
    the 
    signifieds butt heads 

    With the 
    signifiers 

    And we all 
    fall 
    down 
    slack- 
    jawed 

    To mar
    vel 
    at 
    word
    s! 

    When 
    across 
    the sky 
    sheet 

    The 
    Impossible 
    birds 

    In 
    a steady 
    il
    literate 
    move

    ment 
    homeward
    s 

    Verse 5

    And 
    Gabriel 
    stands 
    beneath 

    forest 
    and moon 

    See 
    them rattle 
    & boo 

    See 
    them shake 
    and see 
    them loom 

    See him 
    fashion 
    a cap 
    from 
    a 

    page 
    of 
    Camus; 

    See 
    him navigate 
    deftly 
    this 
    side 
    of 
    the blue 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 6
    And 
    the rest 
    of 
    our 
    lives 

    Will 
    the moments 
    accrue 

    When 
    the shape 
    of 
    their 
    goneness 

    Will 
    flare 
    up 
    anew 

    Then 
    we do 
    what 
    we have to 

    do 

    (Re- loo re- loo) 

    Which 
    is all that 
    you can 
    do 

    On 
    this 
    side 
    of 
    the blue 

    Verse 7
    Oh 
    it's 
    all 
    that you can 
    do 

    On this 
    side 
    of 
    the blue

      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.
