Pedro The Lion - Magazine Lyrics






This line is metaphysical
And on the one side
And on the one side
The bad half live in wickedness
And on the other side
And on the other side
The good half live in arrogance
And there's a steep slope
With a short rope
This line is metaphysical
And there's a steady flow
Moving to and fro

Oh look you earned your wings
Are you an angel now
Or a vulture?
Constantly hovering over
Waiting for a big mistake

Oh my God, what have I done?

Wouldn't you love to be
On the cover of a magazine?
Healthy skin and perfect teeth
Designed to hide what lies beneath

And I feel the darkness growing stronger
As you cram light down my throat
And how does that work out for you
In your holy quest to be above reproach?

Wouldn't you love to be
On the cover of a magazine?
Healthy skin and perfect teeth
Designed to hide what lies beneath
What lies beneath

    great musicians! awesome song

  5. G.... T....

    What is that pedal he uses to get to get feedback?

    G.... T....

    Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy - with an added expression pedal.

    G.... T....

    any delay pedal that allow you to control the feedback with an external expression pedal will do the trick, but in this case is an EHX Memory Boy

    +Eric Cummins beautiful lyricism

  9. T.... K....

    Can someone tell me which amp head do David use?

    T.... K....

    He tends to change it up relatively often, but generally sticks with Fender/Fender-style boutique combos live, from blues jrs to deluxe reverbs. Supposedly he's recently started using Bensons, but in general an 'American'-style circuit on the verge of breakup with a nice pedal (AFAIK he's partial to the ProCo Rat but also has a highly-sought-after Klon Centaur) to push it when needed will get you there. The key in my experience is to let the tubes do most of the work, and only dial in a relatively transparent boost on whichever dirt-box you're using, hence his tendency to use lower-wattage combos. (well, that and they're much easier on the back!)

    T.... K....

    Thank you for such in depth answer. Cheers!

    T.... K....

    If you tweet at him asking he'll tell you. He's done that for me before!
