 +====== Seconds Away ======
 +~~NOTOC~~
 +
 + 
 +The song was written in 1979.  ​
 +
 +Like many Chinese Forehead songs the first version was a crude recording done by bouncing multiple guitar takes between portable cassette players.
 +
 +There were no vocals on that version; there was  ad-hoc guitar line that was then adapted to become the vocal line.

 +===== Lyrics ​ =====
 +
 +
 +    Pursue distraction
 +    Keep breaking fingers
 +    The wall's the mirror to avoid
 +
 +    Decrease in action
 +    Watched pots don't boil
 +    Look at your watch thne ger annoyed
 +
 +    Seconds away, relief from sorrow
 +    And so you wait untl tomorrow
 +
 +
 +    Nervous reaction
 +    Pull up the covers
 +    Maybe soon; it's getting late
 +    ​
 +    Strategic dodge
 +    Grants absolution
 +    The second hand sweeps clean the slate
 +
 +    Seconds away, relief from sorrow
 +    And so you wait until tomorrow
 + 
 +
