Minutiae Madness

Something else new for tapping along to.

A one-taker on my microtrack recorder, with two more tracks mixed on aftwerds.

Every dot in it’s compartment
Every pebble in it’s place
Lots of pebbles fill up boxes
Wayward dots spill out in space

In our crush to mix it up
We miss a basic truth
you'll never fix it up
cuz you gonna hit the roof

Every jot in it’s compartment
Every pellet in it’s place
Lots of filling up of parcels
I’m wayward darling on the chase

Minutiae, Minutiae, Minutiae
Minutiae, Minutiae, Minutiae
Minutiae, Minutiae, Minutiae
Minutiae, Minutiae, Minutiae

Fill it up stack it up pack it in fill it up
Crush it down, nice and tight
Lock it in, pack it in, stuff it up tight enough
stow away, switch the light

Every dot in it’s compartment
Every pebble in it’s place
Lots of pebbles fill up boxes
Wayward dots spill out in space

In your quest to mix it up
you miss a basic fact
you never get to fix it up
that aint how you supposed to act

Every jot in it’s compartment
Every pellet in it’s place
Lots of filling up of parcels
I’m wayward darling on the chase

Fill it up stack it up pack it in fill it up
Crush it down, nice and tight
Lock it in, pack it in, stuff it up tight enough
stow away, switch the light

Fun. Like the backing vocals and whistles. Lots of filling tracks with noises... ooh, looks like you left out that note -- oh, no... you got it. Minutiae, you know...
