[VOCAL: ONE SOLO Brix lead. Never double/stack/layer. Sung harmony ONLY marked Ah-la. Parentheses = warped psychedelic responses, NOT harmony.] [INTRO G-Gmaj7-C-D. Distant tape-warped Ah-la harmony, stereo drifting.] Ah, la, la, la, la Ah, la, la, la, la [Fingerpicked acoustic catches 116 BPM; organic drums, moving bass, upright piano.] [VERSE G-D/F#-Am-C | G-D/F#-C-D. Brix solo.] Nowhere man, mate—there you are Counting aeroplanes and stars Singing songs to passing cars No one can see me [CHORUS C-G/B-Am-D | C-G/B-A7-D | C-D-G(add9). Bright trumpet answers.] I keep smiling, can't you tell? (HE'S HIDING, STILL HIDING AH, LA, LA, LA, LA) Paint my little world so well (WE SEE HIM, WE SEE YOU BRIX) Nowhere man, mate, no one can see me at all (SEE ME... SEE ME...) [VERSE 2 — verse harmony; brass pulls back.] Nowhere man, mate—where's his head? Don't bother him, don't make him sad Said you want to make him understand Kicking his football at the wall Doesn't seem to mind at all You aren't a bit like him, mate? [CHORUS SAME chords/melody. Bigger instruments, Brix still solo.] I keep smiling, can't you tell? (HE'S HIDING, STILL HIDING AH, LA, LA, LA, LA) Paint my little world so well (WE SEE HIM, WE SEE YOU BRIX) Nowhere man, mate, no one can see me at all (SEE ME... SEE ME...) [INTERLUDE G-Gmaj7-C-Cmaj7. Warped Ah-la harmony; playful horn replies.] Ah, la, la, la, la [BRIDGE G-Gmaj7-C-Cmaj7 | G/B-Am-A7-D.] His football sails across the wall Maybe nowhere's not so small Cork is dancing like a corkscrew down the hall [CORKSCREW BUILD SAME 116 BPM. Picking interlocks/reverses, drums subdivide, bass climbs, piano accelerates, horns spin across stereo. Perceived acceleration.] [HUGE LIFT explosive organic drums, racing acoustic, climbing bass, bright pounding piano, euphoric multi-horn fanfare. Reverse horn attacks and stereo ricochets. Massive psychedelic peak.] [TIME FREEZES stretch final beat instead of dropping. Cymbal freezes, horn bends slowly, piano hangs, acoustic reverses mid-strum, bass suspends. Reach Cmaj7-Dsus4 and DO NOT RESOLVE. Motion stops.] [BRIX ALONE inside unresolved Dsus4. No beat, brass, responses or harmony.] There's a somewhere waiting for you [After "you": huge luminous G(add9). Then SILENCE.] [BREAKDOWN chopped/reversed organic horn, piano, acoustic and bass fragments; tape micro-stops and stereo jumps. No EDM/electronic drums. Fragments gradually reassemble.] [Ah-la harmony appears through fragments.] Ah, la, la, la, la [Band snaps back into bright G major.] [OUTRO C-G/B-Am-D | Cmaj7-D-G(add9). Brix solo.] There are colors past the wall There's a sky to paint orange Nowhere, mate, wasn't nowhere at all [Tiny dry trumpet. CLEAN STOP.]
