Here's a kick arse B-side from the 'Already Gone' single called Control 
Freak.  For the most part it is pretty straight forward apart from the 
bridge section which still needs some work.  But here it is thus far.

                                           This is the only part I can't 
figure out.  There appears to be some subtle fill which I can't here due to 
the murky tone of the guitar. 
 
 
I wish I was a control freak coz then I'd have control    
I'd be operating at my peak not doing what I'm told   
I'd push around on my colleagues, and put projects on hold   
The whole idea of democracy is lost on me   
I'm already free   
 
I've got a good idea   
I've got a good idea  
I've got a good idea   
 
And if I was a producer then I'd protect my ears   
No photographs in the paper, an anonymous career   
There'd be so much time working alone that I'd be bored to tears   
The whole idea of fraternity appeals to me  
 It's like a family   
 
I've got a good idea   
I've got a good idea   
I've got a good idea   
I've got a good idea   
So here's what I'll do... 
 
I'll follow you   
And you can guide me through   
The mess I fell into   
I'll follow you   
Only if you approve   
I'll make it all up to you   
 
I wish I was a computer then I'd be organised  
I'd sit around on a pine desk, no bills to reconcile   
It really is just a nice dream that I won't realise  
It confuses me the technology coz my brain's too slow   
I'm a technophobe  
 
I've got a good idea   
I've got a good idea   
I've got a good idea  
I'm getting out of here   
I've got a good idea   
I've got a good idea   
I've got a good idea  
I'm getting out of here...
