"Moderate Moderation" (Joe Woodard), from Headless Household, “post-Polka,” 2003 (Household Ink Records)

www.householdink.com/headless.htm

lyrics

(Rota-polka style)
Moderate Moderation J. Woodard

Intro (with whistling, chromatic harmonica, and/or female voice):

E6 / / AbM7 / / F13 / FM7/6 / F6 / F 6 (b9) / F m6 / F m6 (M7) / Ab + / /
E6 / / AbM7 / / F13 / FM7/6 / F6 / F 6 (b9) / F m6 / F m6 (M7) / Ab + / D +

G13 A13
If I could moderate moderation, oh what a blissful thing
D7 Ab 7 (b5)
I’d wear a different outfit daily
B 7 (b9) E 6 Ab M7
I’d know exactly when to grin, and precisely when to flash a scowl

F13 / FM7/6 / F6 / F 6 (b9) / F m6 / F m6 (M7) / Ab + / D +

If I could navigate conversations, and know when the laughter comes
I’d be a happy campout sailing
I’d know exactly how to please, and understand the need to be the one

E (add 9) D 13 B/C# C# 13
I’m looking at the sky, with eyes so tightly closed
F# m9 C 6 + B sus 13 B7
My feet are gripping earth, but floating in my toes

If I could stop trying to remember, and trying to trace my roots
And be the sunshine on my skin
I’d brush away these pallid blues, oh, you can never know the shape I’m in

It’s like I’m doomed to this moderation, a life in the middle zone
I know exactly what I’m not
But don’t expect me to reveal, the inner truth of how I really feel

I’m looking at the sky, with eyes so tightly closed
My feet are gripping earth, but floating in my toes
