"The Shirt You Never Wear" : FAWM

The Shirt You Never Wear

3 days ago by @ttg105

Liner Notes

The lyrics are nonsensical. The guitar is in my favorite tuning: CGCFCE.

Lyrics

Racoon mailbox sugar clock powder hands the sound of sand dripping into your ears a dog licking tears from the shirt you never wear

Water in the wind rain within a biscuit tin the rookie wins the old-timer's game and promptly forgets his name so he writes it on the shirt you never wear

You hate your face so you trade it for another face at the annual face trade and admire your new face cos it looks great and it sits comfortably on your neck above the shirt you never wear

You are the walrus--coocoocachoo!! Interesting little background there with the alternate tuning. Enjoyed this! ❤️

Songs don’t have to make sense but, unfortunately, novels do. No wonder I just keeping writing songs imagining I’m making progress with the novel while writing music for it - lol! That guitar is quite hypnotic. Relaxing.

how do you tune your guitar so many different ways without breaking the strings? i like the idea here of three different tales referencing an unworn shirt. and yes, this is one of your coolest guitar arrangements.
