numero 12 - bridges are for jumping WMA file here
i just liked the idea...
bridges are good for crossing or for jumping.
about the last 5 songs i've done have been partially arranged during recording. it's only when i get the halfway-decent demo finished that i sorta know what i want the song to sound like... all of those songs would be a lot smoother if i went back in and recorded them anew.
bridges are for jumping
she said bridges are for crossing or for jumping
she said you can be a swan or a sheep
we looked out into a fog thick like i've never seen before or since
she said that it was deep
she said every bridge is waiting for a jumper
she said there are things that simply must be done
i couldn't see the bottom and i could barely see her lips move
as she said sometimes it's fun
the fall was longer than the lengths we travelled
all our makeshift safety cords unravelled
when we made it down we found the ground was not so soft
she said we worked hard to build the bridge between us now i'm jumping off
she said the height will make the mind play tricks against us
she said what we build we must overthrow
we looked down off that edge that we had somehow engineered
and she said you just never know
she said bridges are for crossing or for jumping
she said you can be a swan or a sheep
we looked out into a fog thick like i've never seen before or since

i like the idea, too. this is a very well-crafted narrative song, i think.

I like this one alot. Very Crowded Houseish I think. If you got Neil Finn to produce it I think this would be a hit. Cool far east sounding guitar line after "never know".
Demos - they are meant to be sloppy, at least the first draft demos. I think this one deserves a good, quality, unFAWMED demo session (take your time till everything is perfect).

yeah. this just sort of materialized as i was recording it. but i've been singing it to myself ever since. it's interfering with my trying to put my last 2 or 3 together in my tired head...
