the first night i spent in your bed
i dreamt i was cheating on you
holding hands with the market clerk
you could not have been aware

and i wish you were the only one
like in "the end of the affair"
but no one told me that the book was right
i just found my own way there

then knowledge i'll be leaving soon
makes it easier on me
we could have been happy but sadly we were
controlled by the german police

i keep forgetting not to want

I would like to know what you used for the mechanical sound in the background of the song. The song achieves a more intriguing sound with it. Interesting lyrics too.

thanks renate...i like this one, its a nice outcome of a not so nice situation....

brobinson: i sampled the sound of the upper part of the guitar strings (where you tune them) while strumming them. i aslo sampeled a music box i got from Uganda, and a crumbling on a piece of paper. i also put them through a guitar multy effect.

Nice work. The lyrics sometimes are a bit weak though.
But melody and the feeling of the song is great.

iszil: when you say the lyrics are weak, do you mean the words are badly chosen, or just that the singing isnt loud enough?
