This is about a um...I'd kinda reached the end of an emotional cul de sac one particular evening um. It's a strange sort of evening, I ending up at a little fine old place called 'The Three little Pigs'. Well I was staring at the beer nuts and the swizzle sticks and the, the three little pigs and I was getting a lot of visual and verbal insubordination from a double knit character in the corner. Intro: Ebmaj9 | Cm7 | F9 | Bb | single notes Bb C D VERSE 1:
