The special assignment for this tune was to have been to incorporate a marching band into the track. I nearly did it, but negotiations fell through (THIS time). So I turned to my friend in law enforcement who plays the pipes. John was a bit concerned after hearing what he’d played. He is a humble piper and has been out of regular playing for a while, he heard all the warbles and wasn’t sure how he felt about. I hope I’ve done him justice by pointing it out lyrically along with the other flaws inherent in the world of Utility Project. The first line of the song is “The piper warbles and the drummer can’t keep time” so there it is, done, we know there are warbles. It’s o.k. The song is about a German illustrator with a name destined for pop song stardom: Gustav Mutzel. After learning about Mutzel’s technical skills with a pen and having committed myself to addressing the warbles I wondered what it might be like if Mutzel could come back and help the band. I don’t know what “the band” would do with a German illustrator who has been dead for 100 years, but we’d find SOMEthing.

lyrics

the piper warbles and the drummer can’t keep time the guitar player sounds like he’s usin’ his feet and the lyricist can’t rhyme but you won’t fault me Gustav Mutzel, master of the line When I see your drawings of wildlife Or any image you design Your talents are sublime the singer sounds like he’s talkin’ in his sleep and the bass guitar only has three strings when it’s all done we’re gonna press CDs the kids will find one and wonder what are these things What I could use is a fresh set of ears Even someone who’s been gone for years Come back and help me Come back to this life and help me Come back
