WIND IN THE WIRES
Tabbed by: Alex Turgeon (alexturgeon@gmail.com)
This is the way i play it. the notes are right but if you find he plays them somewhere
else i dont really care to know. The reason why i do play it this way is because its
easier to play the melody and rhytm at the same time. Cheers.

(Em) C
Wind in the wires
Am Em
It’s the sigh of wild electricity
C Am
I’m on the edge of a cliff
Em
Surpassing Comfort and security
C Am
But here comes a gale (here comes a gale)
Em
A crippling anger
C Am
Sea birds are blown into the rocks
Em
Grace is lost to thunder
C Am Em
Thunder... (Pressure) Pressure (pressure)
C Am Em
Thunder Pressure Getting lower
C Am
But see her waters break
Em
Rain falling to the sea
C Am
Into a granite wave
Em
A unit... A family
C Am Em
it's just it's just a
C Am Em
sigh just a little sigh
C Am
This wild
Em
of electricity
C Em
Made static by industry
C Am
Like a bird
Em
in an aviary
C Am
Singing to the sky
Em
Just singing to be free
C
To be free...
FIN
Now go out there and play it for someone special

| There is a book by Chales Dickens I cant remember what its called but it repeats the phrase wind AND the wires quite a bit. The book is a horror story about a ghost and a train wreck. If it has anything to do with this I dont know. | |

| PostTale - the story you're thinking of is The Signalman. I don't think the song would be anything to do with this story because they're not really related. Plus that story's more than a bit rubbish. | |

| I think it's a love song to the female mother nature, and the enviroment under the pressure of industry and pollution. | |

| 'Wind in the wires It’s the sigh of wild electricity I’m on the edge of a cliff Surpassing Comfort and security' talking about Child birth 'But here comes a gale A crippling anger Sea birds are blown Into the rocks Grace is lost to thunder Thunder Pressure Getting Lower' hes getting ready to have the baby 'But see her waters break Rain falling to the sea Into a granite wave' he has the baby 'A unit A family' starts a family 'It’s just a sigh Just a sigh' he his discontented with family 'This wild electricity Made static by industry Like a bird in an aviary Singing to the sky Just singing to be free' ...as it is undermined by modern culture and individualism | |

| This song is so beautiful. Patrick Wolf, he is so insidious..but in the best way. he is the only musician where i want to know what is behind the lyrics. if i had to choose, i would think this is about making love. whatever it is. i love him. | |

| I love the idea of the "love song to electricity." it's tremendously longing and romantic. Something about this song is also very heavy and sexual. | |

| the reference to a bird in an avery, is perhaps a metaphore of how man has harnessed nature, and taken away it's origional purpose of beauty | |

| http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/14696/Interview_Interview_Patrick_Wolf "I think something that hasn't been covered in a lot of the interviews with this record is that the title track to Wind In the Wires is a love song to electricity. There's not so much electronics on the album, but there's a lot of electricity-- buzzing noises, low frequency noises, and stuff. Radio static, kind of analog noises. The song is a realization that electricity is just another element. A lot of people have asked me "Why aren't you doing so much electronic stuff?" To me, there's never been a difference between electronic and acoustic. I've always had this idea that electricity is another element like wind or fire or water. There's lightning, for god's sake! An electronic instrument is just harboring a natural element the same way that a guitar is harboring an acoustic element. It's all nature, really." | |
