Second Fiddle Songtext
von The Milk Carton Kids

We′re gonna use something little different now
Uh, for the past two and a half years
I've been operating under the directive that Kenneth issued
On the day that we formed our band
Wish was, Joey you′ve got to become a better guitar player


And I have, I've been practicing, I sit in my room at least ten minutes a day
Just drilling, finger picking, whatever else
Mostly just finger picking
And it's come to the point where I requested my moment
During our set, my one moment
Where I can step out from my very comfortable role
Of second fiddle
To feature guitar player
So this is the song where I will show off

I′m gonna need your attention on this side of the stage
And use your eyes focused right here
Watch my hands and fingers as they fly across the fretboard

I usually start it off and then Kenneth wants me to speed it up


This song is called, Girls Gather Around
Is one of Kenneth′s, Kenneth wrote it as far as I can tell
About girls and his desire to have them gathered around him
That's an incredibly limited reading of the text that′s there as you are
I admit I've never really payed attention to the lyrics other than the tittle (come on)
And I encourage you not to either
Seriously I mean it, if you′re trying, dig too deep in the lyrics
Who knows what you'll find
And any way, I′m gonna need your eyes, and ears, and attention over here
All eyes on me
