	Story Behind the Song I was interested in uneven chord/bar structures, and this was conceived musically first, around an Amaj7, C, D7 riff in 4/4 time. At the same time the chorus was classic G, F, C, D7, but with a constant high G drone throughout. I think the title came first, and then I tried to fit a song around it. There's some self-analysis in there, but mostly it's playing around with alliteration and other fun stuff. Mostly a sonic experience. It didn't take long to write. The backing is computerised, only the acoustic is live. Lyrics A sorry state of mind Only some substance can help me to unwind When life is so sweet There's poison in every river, it don't spoil my meat I'd like to tell you why But there's nothing to tell CH: The colour of blood is in your eyes Your sorrow is sudden but no surprise And I wish you'd stay this way You need me now, or so they say So they say A self-important man I'll carry my banner proclaiming what I am A cell within a soul Some kind of solace A mask for every ball I wish that I could lie But there's nothing to tell Repeat Chorus Mid 8: But I almost couldn't care I'm almost unaware I wish that I could lie But there's nothing to tell Repeat Chorus
