Tonight is kind [Eb] of by way [A] of an apology in a way because
[B] it's been a long [A] time since Porcupine Tree have been to Israel
[Bb]
[Ab] and [Dbm] there are many [Eb] reasons why we haven't been back and I'm sure you can guess what the main one is
[D] [E] It's called CNN syndrome
[A] [F] [B] and I've been here many [A] times over the last couple of years to work with Aviv Geffen on the Blackfield project
[N] So I know it's fine here but it's kind of hard to convince other people [Bb] that maybe are not [Eb] so familiar
with what it's like to be here in Tel Aviv that it's kind of fine, it's safe and it's not that dangerous
[Db]
[A] but it's not my responsibility to persuade those people and I want them to feel comfortable about coming here
so we are talking again about coming here hopefully in the spring
[Bb] May or may not happen, I'm not going to make you any promises
[D] I'm not going to [E] make you any promises except I think it's more likely this time than it was the last couple of times
Anyway, tonight is by way of an apology for the fact that we haven't been here for so long
[C] I'm going to [Abm] keep this very informal, in fact I'm going to ask you to tell me what you want me to [Em] play
Small fish, waiting, okay
[E]
One at a time please
[Gb] [Abm] [N]
Now there is a condition to this, the condition to me playing what you asked me to play is that a lot of these songs
I haven't sung for a very long time, if at all, in a live environment so I have got my lyrics here
I think the first request is for small fish, yeah?
[E]
[G] [Db]
I've [Ab] never ever played this one live, never ever
[G]
I'm just going to read my lyrics for a moment
