The Width Of A Circle (BBC Live Session)

On this next number in addition to
John Cambridge on drums
And Tony Visconti on bass and, of course
David on guitar, we have - uh-
Mick Ronson, who'll be playing lead guitar whose recorded on Michael Chapman LPs as you've heard Michael Chapman LPs
One of my favourite singers
And the first thing that the full band will be doing
Is called 'The Width of a Circle':

[Instrumental introduction]

[Verses 1]
In the corner of the morning in the past
I would sit and blame the master first and last
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the prayers were small and yellow
And the rumour spread that I was ageing fast

Then I ran across a monster
Who was sleeping by a tree
And I looked and frowned
And looked again at me:

[Verses 2]
Woah
Well, I said hello
And I said, "Hello?"
And I asked, "Why not?"
And I replied "I don't know"

So we asked a simple black bird
Who was happy as can be
Well he laughed insane
And quipped Khalil Gibran

So I cried for all the others
Until the day was nearly through
For I realized that
God's a young man too
Yeah, yeah, yeh

[Electric guitar solo to extended instrumental outro]

That one was called 'The Width Of A Circle'
Are you going to be doing gigs with this band?

Ha-ha, no; oh they're all looking at me, or rather, yes, we're going to be doing some gigs, aren't we Michael? Michael doesn't really know he's just come down from Hull and I met him for the first time about two days ago through John, the drummer whose worked with me once ...

I see, but you're planning to go on the road as it were, yes?

Yes, uh, surely ...
