THE DEAD DUCK & THE GONE GOOSE
June 1999

A boor slob Devil woked up by stones            G     Em
a late afternoon came to visit my home            A7    C
he said ‘do you feel a dead duck at nite ?’        G    A7
he said ‘would u like to get back from outside ?’    C    G
I said ‘are u my devil – are u my soul ?            G    Em
or just another blonde killer crow ?            A7    C
if I’m playin’ ‘round in a 3T mood            G    A7
should I get back to be gone bamboo ?            C    G
Refrain
 ‘cause it’s easy to be easy                     D   
and share a nice dark feel                    C    G
while  it’s hard being disconnected             D
with no chance to get more thrill                C    G
c’mon babe don’t be so easy                 D
c'mon it’s hard to be ‘lone                    C    G
yah it’s easy getting sad                     G    D
feel like a highway cat (4 times)               
C9    G/ D     C     G/ Bm     Am/ Am     G (4 stops)

Another day I was playin’ round with dice
‘gether with a gone goose and her shinin’ mice
she said ‘these chilly numbers are hard to fix
I did’nt realize I should get all six’
I said ‘it doesn’t matter have a proper motion
If ‘u’ll be able do that combination’
I said ‘are you afraid ‘bout your sadness ?
trust on me when you’ll need a witness’
Refrain

When eventually u’ll stay there
dispersed as usual and asking more
waiting for a sign to release your power
may be u’ll have to become a sunflower
may be you ‘re fragile may be you’re strong
may be you feel 3T but look just one (T)
who knows who knows what right move will be ?
may be to be a dead duck or a gone goose in trip
Refrain

Love the sound...  The vocals seem a bit restrained to me.. like you are afraid to sing the song.... Not sure why...

   And I mean that for the male and female vocals... they seem constrained and shy to me...  Musically it's tight and very well constructed...  I do enjoy your stuff.... And the only real fault in it I find is the vocal delivery.. Perhaps it is meant to be this way, but it seems to muddy them up, and make it a hard song to truly enjoy, and sing along with...

I can understand what JimK saying, it's a shame the vox are not more to the front, which simply could be your set up? The music is great, the harp sounds sweet.

Obviously recorded live, boy it's so hard to record live and get the levels, eq, right unless your doin the same venuse week after week and get a chance to tweak it.

If you recorded this on different track you could still tweak the mix and EQ????

I liek the vibe of this tune man....the vocals are really good but a bit burried.I liek the guitar tone.It has a cool stones vibe to me man....The drums sound really good!!!
