Song Description
The acoustic version of the A/S/L song.

When I was waiting for Mart to add his bass to the regular version, I played around with an acoustic mix.

This mix features a different piano line, extra acoustic guitar on the right channel, egg shakers, tambourine, and clapping (keeping the same vocal and rhythm guitar takes as the original).

For whatever reason (perhaps the "less is more" philosophy), this version has gained wider acceptance than the non-acoustic.

Plat plays on all parts.
Lyrics
VERSE 1

heather's got no space left in her mind
for me, so i'm heading online
asking great questions 'bout age and size
anatomy and zones of time--in

CYberspace .... NO one hears you scream
they read you on their console screen
creating couches, pools and steam
and living out digital dreams


CHORUS

E A
baby's left me for another man
E A Am
be-CAUSE he types twice as fast as i can
E A
it's a shame that she cannot stay
E A Am D
but I know true love's just an A/S/L away



VERSE 2

found a server, got a client too
connected, sent some smiles through
like spam to mailboxes, drunks to booze
found me new love to attach to

she types in red fourteen-point font
and lives in killington vermont
female, weighs less than a ton
named sweet-eighteen but she's thirty-one



BRIDGE
C Am
....she always crosses her T's
C G
....and man, I like her eyes
C Am
....and when all our gifts are wrapped in words
G Gm Am Gm D A
then hey man, .. i don't have to pay a dime
Em
well alright, now..
G? Gm?Am? D A
not counting network time
Em G Gm
well alright, now...



CHORUS

E A
baby's left me for another man
E A Am
she can tell he's really good with his hands
E A
it's a shame that she cannot stay
E A Am D
but I know true love's just an A/S/L away



VERSE 3

i found out she's got an angel twin
within minutes of my askin'
got their address on fake napkin
now to take each one for a spin

.... though i hope heather's doin' fine
i'm so glad she dropped me behind
while she keeps every man denied
i'm sitting back with my chicks sayin'



CRAZY FINISH
