Another song in the key of Glu.
I know I called the theme was [glubot for a day](http://alonetone.com/forums/togethertone/topics/glubot-for-a-day).
Maybe glubot for a week?

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

The instrument tracks were all recorded before I even attempted to sing this song, which was not a good idea as I cannot sing very well in the key of E major. Thus, this song does not exactly feature a good vocal part.

Meathead syndrome,

No cure,
Not attuned to be here

I’m your janitor today,
I do it for the pay and
Soak in the shadow

It crawls out my heart, to my arm,
Up the wrist,
So close to your throat
Crawling
Crawling
No future in your flight…

This is the first rough, acoustic take of the song 'Iris Florentine' from the album Orchids for Betty.

There’s a pound or two of flesh in my chest yet.
