Description:
My first GB song. I am re-submitting this one with id tags. Oops

Lyrics:
I stopped into this bowling alley, to get out of the rain
She was chain-smoking, spandex, varicose, bouffant
With a strike in every frame
I never seen anybody get it perfect, not in the bowling lanes
Sweet mystery of life, astound me

I stood there in the shadows as she bowled 5 perfect games
Man, I was speechless, I was changed
The guy behind the counter says she comes in every day
And holds up a hand full of score-sheets all covered in little black squares

He says she don't play for nobody, no time, for nothin'
All the various leagues are tripping over each other trying to woo her with something
Guarantees of fame and fortune, and prize money
She turns them all away, every one
...being curious, I asked her, and this is what she told me...

In pursuit of perfection, you can touch the face of god
In selfless dedication, you might even fool yourself
You could attain higher purpose
If you sing the beauty of the world, or
Bowl a perfect game

So I said " What? Is that it? is that all?"
And she said,"you're the one looking for a Guru, Jack
So therefore it's not my call
If you've ever bowled a strike, you know it feels good, it feels good
I do it because it feels so good,
And I can do it all by my self, I don't need anybodies help.
And the possibility is there
The possibility of a spare, and on that day I'll walk away
But that day ain't been today, or thousands of yesterdays

In pursuit of perfection...

You're always "It" in my game. You can't submit enough, man. Simply
love your stuff, all the way thru: lyrics; tunes; tasty, free-flowing and
constantly cool guitar licks; performances; and especially vocal stylings.
The extreme panning of the 2 keys in headphones kind of gets to me
after a while, even tho it provides nice separation for a demo. The few
moments of guitar distortion integrate into the live performance feel, but
I'd prefer them not there. Still, such a great track. Simply love it. Great
storytelling.

Awesome bluesy organ riffs. Yeah.

I actually felt like I was in some sleazy dive.

Man, this is a good sounding song. Very good sounding vocals.
Arrangement is clever, compliments the lyrics perfectly. Lyrics are
definitely clever. Very good job. God Bless.
