26 that wheel(sharpens the axe)
i feel honored to be part of a long standing tradition of musicians who use parentheses in a song title
for no apparent reason
instruments:
guitar: yamaha hollow body electric, acoustic
bass: beat ass harmony
drums
shaker
vocals
lyrics:
that gear’s teeth
fit in the teeth of that gear
and they make the whole thing spin
there’s a small
rudder that steers the big rudder
that steers the big ship
we stretch for a broken lever
but it’s out of reach
let’s all walk together
into the breach
that wheel sharpens the axe
i watch us pass
every time we make another
trip around the carousel
we grin and sheep
and write off another
that’s how it goes and oh well
we stretch for a broken lever
but it’s out of reach
let’s all walk together
into the breach
that wheel sharpens the axe
