Song Information:
This one was posted on another site last year, and, although I was happy with how it turned out, it seemed to have somewhere else to go. When ziti agreed to play what I expected to be a straight lead break, I thought that might help. Little did I know that Fran would take the song by the scruff of the neck and in the process, take it somewhere else altogether! For me, this has been a rare insight into the impact that a seriously skilled player can have on a simple song. Fran plays 5 guitar tracks here listen for the held note in the intro, the sirens in verse 2 and the intensity of the solo. I am so proud of how this has turned out.
This is a brand new (June 2006) remix of this version of Eggshell done in Logic Express. I think the main difference is that this one is a much cleaner sound than any that have gone before.
I think the lyrics speak for themselves!
Play this at that volume just short of your ears starting to bleed!
Song Lyrics:
The Eggshell Walk
11/2005 Neil Porter
We lie awake at daybreak
And you ask me how the world gets on outside
Another shattered marketplace
Another scattered day of broken lives
Chorus
Im scared to turn the news on
In the morning
Dont know what might happen
In my sleep
Theyve got you and me
Doing the Eggshell Walk
Doesnt seem like
Freedom much to me
Streets of Paris burning
Someone elses city, could be yours
A signal of frustration
With the growing gap dividing rich and poor
Chorus
Im scared to turn the news on
In the morning
Dont know what might happen
In my sleep
Theyve got you and me
Doing the Eggshell Walk
Doesnt seem like
Freedom much to me
They send em home in body bags
2000 already, therell be more
We dont count the other side
30,000 people, thats the score
Chorus
Getting scared to wake up
In the morning
Anything could happen
In your sleep
Theyve got you and me
Doing the Eggshell Walk
Doesnt seem like
Freedom much to me
Refrain
You put one foot forward
And you look around
You shade your eyes
And you test the ground
You jump at shadows
And you shy at sounds
If you wonder why youre dancing
Youre doing the Eggshell Walk
Chorus
Starting to get angry
In the morning
Starting to have nightmares
In my sleep
Theyve got you and me
Doing the Eggshell Walk
Seems like an unholy mess to me
INVASION
TERRORIST
LONDON
SHOOT TO KILL
Lets think about it!
BALI
GUANTANAMO BAY
SUICIDE BOMBER
FREEDOM?
Just think about it
