(There are three versions of this song in this file. First the lyrics.

I'll try to "pretty" it up when I have the time. - Chris)

Lyrics:

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.

Now what does that mean?

Is there a just contradiction?

Nothing much.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate.

Got to punch

Right on target

Twisting tongues

Gotta stripe down his back

all nine yards down her back

Give me a couple,

Don't give me a couple of pointers,

Turn to lies and conversation fear

Got to punch

Right on target

Twisting tongues

Gotta stripe down his back

all nine yards down her back

Give me a couple,

Don't give me a couple of pointers,

Turn to lies and conversation fear

What is my mind?

What is my mind?

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.

Now what does that mean?

Is there a just contradiction?

Nothing much.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate, hesitate.

Got to punch

Right on target

Twisting tongues

Gotta stripe down his back

all nine yards down her back

Give me a couple,

Don't give me a couple of pointers,

Turn to lies and conversation fear

Conversation fear. Conversation fear. Conversation fear.

(in normal tuning)

intro is of course strings and notes, but if you play an A chord it

sounds good. Then after the intro before the song kicks in I think

it is a B or B5. From what I can tell the verse is E then B (orB5) and the

last line of the verse is E and the chorus goes B//A// and there may be a G

in there somewhere but maybe it's just the bass playing a G.

I'm not certain about the intro so here's my best shot:

E:-2-3-5-3s2-2 that's the bassline....

e:---0-----0-----0-----0-----

B:-2---2-3---3-5---5-3---3-3-2 that's my best guess at the jangles

Verse:

A two punch.............right on target........

E Esus4 E Bm 7th fret harmonics-s-5th fret harmonics

Chorus:

Give me a couple of, don't give me a couple of pointers turn to lies and

B A G A B A G

Conversation fear.

A B 7th fret harmonics-s-5th fret harmonics
