[A] As long as I've been singing on stage, they always got pieces of tape on the stage.
I don't know if I'm supposed to stand on [N] them or stay away from [D] them.

Nothing happened.
This is a song I wrote with a buddy from Bristol, England.
He talks just like Cary Grant, but he didn't look anything like Cary Grant.
We was writing this song.
We don't usually write songs together, but we play dominoes a lot.
Sometimes when there's a lull in the game, we'll write a song.
So we were writing this one here.
I prefer writing by myself, because you don't got to keep your eye on the other person.
You don't know where they're going to go with the song.
[N] You're supposed to be writing about the same idea.
Sometimes I sit there and I look across the table and I wonder, gee, I wonder what they're thinking.
When we were writing this song in particular, I had my wife in mind, and I was hoping that he didn't.

[A] [G] [A] Oh, the glory [D] of true love is a wild and [A] precious thing.
You don't want [E] old Magnolia, for only blossom [A] in the spring.
No, the [D] glory of true love is it will last your [A] whole life through.
Never will go [E] out of fashion.
Always will look [A] good on you.
You can climb the [D] highest mountain, touch the moon and [A] stars above.
But old [E] faithful's just a pimp, prepared to the glory of [A] true love.

I'd have my [E] lunch in London and my dinner in St.
[A] Paul.
I got some friends [D] in Albuquerque, where the governor calls [A] me guv.
You can give them [E] all the good will, for the glory [A] of true love.
You can climb the [D] highest mountain, touch the moon and [A] stars above.
But old faithful's [E] just a pimp, prepared to the glory [A] of true love.
