The End is Nigh

“Victoria” by Jack Waterson 18/1/2012

Intro/Verse 1
      F          Am          Dm                        A 
Victoria, darling I need a moment please
                 Bb                        Gm                                   C7                    Gm
I cannot let you spread disease through your purest virgin soul
       F             Am                         Dm                       A Bb Gm C7 Gm
My darling I, cant leave you sitting on your ass.
             Bb                    Gm                      C7                      Gm
On an Adelaide footpath with your vomit in your shoes
Verse 2
Victoria, darling why must you be so mean
Sweetheart I have only seen, but the kindness in those eyes.
I will only ever stand in your defense make you the damsel in distress
As best my body will allow.
Chorus 1
But still. 
Dm                                      F 
        You push me away. 
                                A                                                       Bb7
Where legally ill stay as im required no longer need in reserve
Dm                                          F
Its help that your require
                                   A                                                       Bb7
But I am not your father this for your own good may I not be misunderstood.
Verse 3
You and I could probably make quite the team
Forfill some of those dreams, that you had as a child.
But for now, you’ll have to give up what you right now seek.
Because a man in jeans and t-shirt is not your boy in D&G and that’s not me.
Chorus 2
You push me away. 
Where legally I’ll stay as im required no longer need in reserve
Of this game I grow tired.
Because ive found two player games are shithouse,
When your playing on your own.
Solo
Verse 4/Outro
Victoria, darling ive put the kids to sleep,
in their beds where they will keep to give you peace of mind.
Darling please come close and look me in the eyes
Show me to my own surprise that you chose me over the world.

Notes: Decided to take the intro piano back onto guitar, just seems to build better. Also ignore pretty much the whole drum beat in this one. Just need to make sure that this song builds continuously over the whole duration, and pretty much go apeshit after that. Sam, you can also take over leave that bassline but it would be awesome if you could play something similar I left you lots of room to play with.
Could use some harmonies through out as well. Let me know.

“Think For Yourself” by Jack Waterson 4/2/2012

Intro
Am G F E C
Verse  1
Am      G F                 E C                                                            Am
Are you thinking for yourself, On a train dressed in fluro
             G F                 E C    
Drunk at 8.10 in the morning?
Am                       G F                 E C                Am          G F                 E C
        The 80’s are dead. And Supre will never ever bring them back.
Am G        F                        E C                                          Am  G   F       E C
       Form over function is not a rule to live by in situations like these
Am            G F                             E C                                                        Am                   G F           
        But youll come throwing daggers. Dressed like a whore, while tell me about 
      E C
your morals
Chorus
C
Think for yourself
F
Think for yourself
C
Think for yourself
F
Think for yourself
Verse 2
Like the sheep to the Sheppard, again and again and again,
they will go and so will you.
Your chances are dead, and crying will never ever bring them back.
Form over function is not a rule to live by in situations like these.
Without your parents income, you are nothing more than a snarl in the dark or a growl on a t-shirt.
Chorus
Buildup Chorus
Outro (Chords as verse)
Notes: This should be amazing if we can ever get it together. Accidentally left in the raw vocal that feeds the vocoder, so yeah would be wanting duck to have a go at that on synthia, but if we cant make it vocode probably just drop it. Also I think the best way to make this work live would be to withhold Truman until the 2nd verse and Levi to just a kick drum in the 1st chorus and come in the 2nd verse. I may not ever put on my guitar until that glock bit comes in. I wrote this very much intentionally to have no backing vocals through out so at least that’s easy. Obviously this is to a click so the structure is already set but if you want to add or subtract something in the backing let me know. I would really like to get some reverse cymbals in there leading up to the end bit but logic and mainstage seem opposed to it. Cheers.
