    0. Lyrics to song

    Chet Atkins Gretsch with Vox compression.
    Chet Atkins Gretsch with Vox bass + Slash bass fuzz.
    Chet Atkins Gretsch + Vox delay + Onko overdrive.
    LP shaker, Meinl tambourine, JTC looper+drums. 

    Intro):

    1):
    Is it because we have eyes, 
    we can see? 
    Living inversions as normality,
    Topsy and turvy
    turned all upside down. 

    Makes very good sense,
    if squares could be round. 


    Juggle-ers practise,
    and aptly confuse us, 

    Distracting our gaze
    with gee-gaws to bemuse us,
    Peddling theories, 

    both pompous and porous. 

    2):
    Afflicted by
    macular degeneration, 

    Exposed to the woes
    of opacification,
    Physical aging
    is cruel and relentless,
    We wish one another,
    that illness will spare us. 


    Plato has offered
    us some consolation,
    'Oxytata' sight beats fleshly emulation, 

    Guards against
    cognitive ossification.

    3):
    Now I am old,
    I see ever more sharply,

    Nimbly eluding
    the grasp of the harpies.

    High priests over yonder,
    what do they profess?

    Perched in their aeries,
    besmirched with success.


    The gullible stare, 
    at their peacock display,
    Bedazzled by words 

    they are loath to gainsay.
    And yet it were easy, 

    to make the assay. 

    Outro):
