There'll come a day when you'll get to this place...you'll see me sitting there when we have found there's no need for splitting hairs.
On this site we have the 8 songs which make up the Crap Art album, where I wrote and recorded all 8 on March 31, 2004. The rules for the project and other examples can be found at the . However, I tried to make these songs as uncrappy as I could in the course of a day, and I think I succeeded for the most part.

Story behind the song
I was going to leave this percussionless originally, but I decided to keep the Adobe Audition metronome and add some rhythmic slapback echo to fancy it up a little. It started a little like Elvis Costello but ended up in a different place entirely.
Lyrics
the words the lies the fallen years i never thought would end but then they did pass the ones who cried the bitter tears that poured like holy water in a shot glass well now that seems so far away from me i'll breathe the winter air because i'm free to see what i can be and there'll come a day when you'll get to this place with nothing to say to the wide empty space and then look around and you'll see me sitting there when we have found there's no need for splitting hairs there's no need for splitting hairs it's flooding in my memory the photos hanging on the clothesline wet and soaked the mirrors hung strategically the candles lit to hide the cigarette smoke well you've got to take the bitter with the sweet there's nothing that you've done you can delete or people that you meet and there'll come a day when you'll get to this place with nothing to say to the wide empty space and then look around and you'll see me sitting there when we have found there's no need for splitting hairs there's no need for splitting hairs this world can show us all a lot you've got to take the wise ones with the loud fools the ones who don't know what they've got complaining like a workman blaming his tools let's kick down every door along the way although it seems like it is a cliche it's what i want to say for there'll come a day when you'll get to this place with nothing to say to the wide empty space and then look around and you'll see me sitting there when we have found there's no need for splitting hairs there's no need for splitting hairs there's no need for splitting hairs (the words the lies the fallen years) there's no need for splitting hairs (the ones who cried the bitter tears)
