bemuzic busking - The Books We Read (New Song)

2012-09-11T10:53:13.693Z

Thought I'd try out this new song. It's very new, so there are a few mistakes! Just recorded on my phone and I notice the video sort of jumps here and there which is annoying...
Oh well I enjoy singing it, and it might be awhile before I get round to recording it, so thought I'd share it : -)
The song was inspired by the titles of several books that were in front of me while noodleing around on a guitar.
I looked into it and it seems book titles aren't generally covered by copyright. The books were by Margaret Atwood, Haruki Murakami, and Milan Kundera, so if you like those authors you might recognise some of them...

LYRICS

The books we read
shape our mind.
Life is elsewhere,
while we're eating fire.
It's a wild sheep chase,
we can't see the joke.
This is the book of laughter and forgetting.

And the world is full of ignorance,
as we dance, dance, dance after dark.
And the world is full of ignorance,
as we dance,dance, dance,
to the end of the world.

da, da da etc (could end up as some sort of instrumental?)

I want to see behind the door.
Truth is surfacing,
about life before man.
It's a wild sheep chase,
we can't see the joke.
This is the song of laughter and forgetting.

And the world is full of ignorance,
as we dance, dance, dance after dark.
And the world is full of ignorance,
as we dance,dance, dance,
to the end of the world.

The books we read
shape our mind.
Life is elsewhere,
while we're eating fire.

That isn't clapping at the end, it's someone running across the road in flip flops,lol!.
