about

Another one of the old WR songs. Originally this song had nine solos in it, two per band member and then Steve's standard solo. It also had a weird intro where the drums were playing in 5/4 and the rest of the band was in 4/4. We were not the best songsmiths in the start.

Fun fact: there is a rare live version of this song with no vocals, where Steve's riff in the verse sounds like a duet of 50's-style back up singers singing "do do do's".

lyrics

I've got a plan
It's taken me years to get just right
I've drawn it up
And worked it out
Now all I need is one big start
I'm on demand
And I'll work it out if it takes all night
I'm wanted bad
I want it good
And we all need to play our part

I'll make 'em believe
I'll make 'em believe
I'll make 'em believe it's true somehow
When the east will fall
When the west will leave
And I'm back to watch with a little less awe

I've got a plan
But it won't accomplish anything on it's own
Got to be taken up
And set in motion
Got to get those wheels spinning around
My hands
I couldn't use until they'd grown
Will be taken up
And set to work
Along with my feet upon the ground

I'll make 'em believe
I'll make 'em believe
I'll make 'em believe it's true somehow
When the east will fall
When the west will leave
And I'm back to watch with a little less awe

I'll make 'em believe
I'll make 'em believe
I'll make 'em believe it's true somehow
When the east will fall
When the west will leave
And I'm back to watch with a little less awe
