Cover of Peter FramptonAccording to Wikipedia, tao is a Chinese word meaning 'way,' or 'path.' It seems somehow appropriate to apply this to 70's wunderkind rocker Peter Frampton, who was never known for his lyrics, but really wanted you to show him the way. In this case, however, the way is how not to write a lyric. Here are some examples of promising starts, and then a right hook to the brain with a non sequitur.
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one out of season
BABY, I LOVE YOUR WAY '74
You can't erase a dream you can only wake me up
My mind is turning slower,never to accept defeat
It don't matter where I live I still got a house to heat
LINES ON MY FACE '73
Well, I can see no reason
You living on your nerves
When someone drops a cup and I submerge
SHOW ME THE WAY '74
