Lyrics
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail (Dargan)
G C
If we work that hard we cannot fail
Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail
G C
We can never stop, we must prevail
Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail
Am Em
Hammer it, hammer it, hammer it home
C D Hammer it, hammer it home
G C
Let’s skip that space beyond the pale
Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail
G C
We’ll pay it all on a sliding scale
Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail
Am Em
Hammer it, hammer it, hammer it home
C D Hammer it, hammer it home
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE: E // D (x4)
G C
So lavishly we doth regale
Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail
G C
Listening to A Trick of the Tail
Am Em D
Put It In A Frame, Hang It On A Nail
Am Em
Hammer it, hammer it, hammer it home
C D Hammer it, hammer it home

Love the instrumental break. Amazing lyrics. Frames and nails are so permanent. I like how the chorus easily sticks in my head. Great writing friend :)
So good. I aspire to be so economical! Another winner.
Really fun song! I love the timing and spacing of the lyrics in the hook. Cool idea for song structure also.
Catchy AF, and props for the Genesis ref!!! Digging it!
It's interesting because this song's form reminds me a LOT of how old hymns were written. The repeating line every 2nd and 4th line of the verses and then having a completely removed refrain that's still relevant but reinforcing what's happening with that repetitive 2nd and 4th line in each verse. I really like what you've done! It's great!
