This song is not microtonal, except that some of the note bends are intentionally not always 12-EDO intervals.<\/p>\n

LYRICS:<\/strong>
\n\u201cThat Unfortunate Man\u201d
\nUnphased by Elly\u2019s rejection,
\ncondescending \u201cpatrons,\u201d
\ncurbside critics,
\nand tourists on vacation,
\nhis latest instillation
\n\u201cThat Unfortunate Man\u201d
\nwas not the hit he predicted.
\nThe clown posters and nudes
\nare a ruse<\/p>\n

too busy fidgeting in his chair,
\nslouching in a stone pose
\n(the essence of apathy)
\nrigorously held for hours
\nto actually make a sale.
\nPerfectly suited for this strange business –
\nuntucked paisley shirt,
\nsitting on his cigarettes…<\/p>\n

head bowed to the occasional, passing stranger
\ncharacteristically gawking in wonder and disgust.
\nSoon, he will be ready for an encore
\n(that\u2019s when the rigor really sets in.)
\nSuch a strange vocation\u2026
\nthere are times when it truthfully unhinges him.<\/p>\n

When it really comes down to it, what is art for
\n\u2026and why him?<\/p>\n

When it really comes down to it, what is art?
\nWhen it really comes down to it, what is art?
\nWhen it really comes down to it, what is art?
\nWhen it really comes down to it, what is art?<\/p>\n
