Lyrics:
The Poet's Pen (McAndrew) 20 Dec 2011
Verse 1
In skilled hands lies a lethal weapon
It can take you on a journey to the darkest recesses of your mind
Painting pictures that leave no doubt
You've got the brains you've got the power you know you can work it out
Chorus 1
Beware the poet's pen
Start to finish, begining, end and back again
Beware the poet's pen
Start to finish, then back again
Verse 2
Dark thoughts painted in white
Light thoughts made to think so black
That's the way it takes you on a journey
So tight then slack
Chorus 2
Beware the poet's pen
Start to finish, prologue, dialogue, back again
Beware the poet's pen
It's there to taint you, to lead you back again
Chorus 3
Beware the poet's pen
He'll take you, lead you forwards, backwards, back again
Beware the poet's pen
He'll lead you, take you there and back again

Wow, what a production. Everything sits perfectly, and everybody's performances could not be better.

Glad you like guys and ditto, it was great to be a part of. 8) 8) 8)
What I find remarkable (and is clearly open to comment!!) is that I did not have lyrics and this is what I sung. I then wrote the lyrics down by listening to the song!! :D :D :D

I think that's called improvisation Steve... great vocal as usual and many thanks. By the way, if I tried that method for a scratch demo vox, I'd never be able to write any lyrics down :-[ :-X :D

Great song, performances and mix!!!!
Two thumbs up! 8) 8) 8)

DAMN!! I'm gonna have to find me one of those pens! ^-^
When you look at the credits for this song, you just KNOW it's gonna be smokin... and it is!!
If each player in this band was a card - you guys would be shot for having 5 ACES. >:D

Cheers Mom and thanks :) :)

Cheers Nick :) :)
Also, I am sorry I missed your post Bill, thanks also my musical bro :-[ :-[ :) :)

Had to post again!
This is one of the most interesting - inventive songs I have heard on here in a while.
All the performances are top notch and each one - guitars, bass, vocals, drums gell wonderfully.
A particular highlight for me is the descending keys and guitar vamp.
The lyrics are brilliant too.
