Recordings

  1. Demo version.
    Released in September 2004 on Fuzzy Warbles Volume Six in the U.K.

    Andy: “Written for Nonsuch and I can see it fitting in well along with the gang, must have thought we had too much material as I never even brought this up at rehearsals. Good solid construction, well balanced, does what it says on the tin. Cousin of ‘Dear Madame Barnum’ and ‘The Disappointed’. I just love songs with two middle eights in them.”

Lyrics

Is the world still round and flat, like our grimey bathroom mat? I can't tell what truth is anymore. Of course the moon's a shining sphere, but one foot up and three foot near. I can't tell what truth is anymore. And if you've gone for good or you've gone for bad, you just blew away any real I ever had. Perhaps the sea is made of glass, with waves on wheels that roll right past. Oh I can't tell what truth is anymore. For I can't tell what truth is anymore. And if you've gone for good or you've gone for bad, you just blew away any real I ever had. Am I stood here six foot tall or curled up in a foetal ball? Oh I can't tell what truth is anymore. For I can't tell what truth is anymore. No I can't tell what truth is anymore.

I wanted to write to mention that as a guitarist i would like to see more and more tabs posted... but realising that xtc songs are complex alot of great songs are not tabbed...

I think that instead of one person trying to nail the whole song, several guitarists should build on things until the get right ...and many times that is what has happened...  I want to try to start contributing to some of the songs without tab...

******************************************************************************************************************************

 here is a very basic rough start to "I can't tell what truth is anymore" from FW6.   Please help me to build on it as I cant figure out a couple of the changes...   (Truzzi I know you are out there somewhere!)

 A   -   D   -        / A   -          D - /A      -    D     - /A      -      D 
 Is the world still round and flat, like our grimey bathroom mat?

 E   -      -       -   /D     -    -     -  /A    -   D   - /A
 I can't tell what truth is  a-n-y -more.

 A        -          D   -        / A   -   D    -    /A      -          D     -  /A      -      D   -
 Of course the moon's a shining sphere, but one foot up and three foot near.

 E   -      -       -   /D     -    -     -  /A    -   D   - /A
 I can't tell what truth is  a-n-y -more.

(Here is where I need help, Someone please figure this out and update it!)
And if you've gone for good or you've gone for bad, you just blew away any real I ever had.

The rest of the song largely repeats this pattern

The song obviously has many frills, fills, thrills, intros and nice ending chord...so I hope other people will help to complete the missing chords to this clever and catchy song.

Also requesting tab for Blame the Weather, Tiny Circus of Life.
