I Know What It Is

Skirmish: Say What You Mean to Say (@hmstreetteam)

Liner Notes

Okay, so I already had the drums and rhythm guitar, but the rest of it I can do for the skirmish. I've decided to make all the words single syllables. That is, all but one.

Lyrics

I know, I know

I have no doubt I know what it is That makes you stop And start to think That sense of guilt When you've been shamed A look, a frown A word of blame

I know, I know

I know the truth It is not real They paint your deeds In the worst light It's all for the game And not what is real And I know what it is The prize they try to steal

They fight in your mind They fight for your heart And not for love But just to own And they'll throw you away Once they have their way And you're no more use

I know what it is I know, I know

Well done in using one-syllable words all the way through. Nice write recognizing the impacts of manipulation. Great jangly sound.

I was going to say that there was no way you could have produced this in an hour, and then read your notes. Some really good and now's-the-right-time lyrics. Your playing is very crisp. Nice vid!

Very 60’s. Could hear Cream or Hendrix doing this. Kudos.
