This Ain't the Third Degree

from Shadow by Steve Blaque

/

about

a track i wrote that is meant as a chameleon of discourse for situations that arise in a person's life. any one experience can have the pattern of conversation applied as much as is a template to any artistic or graphic or indeed any routinized pursuit or activity. who has time now for designer conversations and pep talks of motivation? this is a one stop shop of disposable philosophy; use it once, and then use it again and then each time afterwards simply ditch it.

lyrics

This ain't the Third Degree

i never wanted this
to be anything else
than it couldn't be
and that it wouldn't pan out
leaving you
feeling washed up all at sea

you see
it's not always as it is
and nor is it not
and therein lay the bards tale
of endless summers
with Akela and reef knots

chorus
so take a good look
are your eyes open
and what is it you really see
don't take my word for it
so unwise coz this ain't the 3rd degree
yu gotta gaze upon it differently
and my advice is plain to see
so this ain't the 3rd degree
you have to gaze upon it differently.

verse
you're on yer way
a man on a mission
and you jumped that first hurdle
but are you really you
or just dead on the track
and limping in circles
best that you straighten up
this ain't a drill
nor by no means a rehearsal
careful of being too fast
or of being overly careful
else-wise it might just be too controversial

chorus
so take a good look
are your eyes open
what is it you really see
don't take my word for it
coz this ain't the 3rd degree
yu gotta gaze upon it differently
this ain't the 3rd degree
my advice ain't for free
this ain't the 3rd degree
my advice is plain to see

Steve Blaque original composition
if you want to play the song
capo 5th fret
Dm F C G/B
