Ride The Cliche

Here's a great song from a more than exellent band. It's off

their third album: "Tiny music...Songs from the vatican gift

shop", released march 26th 1996.

It's in standard tuning

The main riff must be played very fluidly, which can be kind

of tricky, but thats nothing practice won't fix...

So here it is.

LYRICS:

She no wait

but she know me

In take purge

it's my disease

Hold me closer let me be (hold me closer let me be)

Hold me closer let me go away

Barely know you know my name (barely know you know my name)

Trip the witch and ride the shame

Just because you're so clichéd

It don't mean you won't get paid

(chorus)

(solo)

(chorus)

Always

Well there you have it. I'll be posting more stp songs soon,

whenever i get the time to transpose them from my head to the

computer.

Have fun, drink milk.
