Lyrics must include your own name

à tous les monsieurs
Standing on the Edge

A1:
Staring
in the space of time
Hoping
isn’t worth a dime
And loving
is a fool’s way out
lying on the edge

A2:
Choking
back on all my tears
Calling
à tous les monsieurs
And dying
is a fool’s way out
hanging from the ledge

B:
Standing on the edge
With the power
of the ancient
Heraldry
Salvage what is left
Of the precious
Lady flower
fleur di lis

A3:
Tearing
down the twisted road
Swearing
at the ghost of Job
And smiling
at those fools way out
Dropping off the ledge

Hearing Frankie's voice on this momentarily confused me (especially because he went so bombastic with his solo entry, so I thought he was just using this moniker to showcase his softer side), but once we settled that, I enjoyed this pretty much without reservation. Other reviews have pointed out that the lyrics are "too" poetic, but it's right up my alley, so maybe I just have a soft spot for purple poetry. I like the jazz groove on the guitar and the brushed drums. All the instruments are really well played, and your singer is one of the best I know of. I have no complaints about this. It was my #1 pick.
