Paul Gilbert - Let Thy Carriage
WROC is my first vocal album since 2016. The lyrics were inspired by the etiquette book, "George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior." I truly enjoyed turning Washington's Rules of Civility (WROC) into ROCK songs! I hope my vocal and guitar melodies will stir your heart and improve your table manners. Spit Not in the Fire!
"Let Thy Carriage" - Written and Produced by Paul Gilbert
Lyrics inspired by Washington Rules: 87, 82, and 60
The "Carriage" in this song is not a horse-drawn vehicle. Instead, it is "The manner in which one carries oneself." I suspect that I don't carry myself as well as I could. So I'm hoping this song might steer me in a better direction. Speaking of carrying things, this song features me playing a doubleneck guitar. Carrying the weight of this musical monster strengthens one's character... and one's back!
Paul Gilbert: Vocals and Guitar
Doug Rappoport: Guitar
Timmer Blakely: Bass
Nick D'Virgilio: Drums

LYRICS:
LET THY CARRIAGE
BE SUCH AS BECOMES A MAN GRAVE
LET THY CARRIAGE
BE SUCH AS BECOMES A MAN GRAVE
SETTLED AND ATTENTIVE
TO THAT WHICH IS SPOKEN
CONTRADICT NOT, AT EVERY TURN
WHAT OTHERS SAY
LET THY CARRIAGE
BE SUCH AS BECOMES A MAN GRAVE
LET THY CARRIAGE
BE SUCH AS BECOMES A MAN GRAVE
SETTLED AND ATTENTIVE
TO THAT WHICH IS SPOKEN
CONTRADICT NOT, AT EVERY TURN
WHAT OTHERS SAY, WHAT OTHERS SAY
UNDERTAKE NOT WHAT YOU CANNOT PERFORM BUT BE CAREFUL
KEEP YOUR PROMISE
BE NOT IMMODEST IN URGING YOUR FRIENDS TO DISCOVER
TO DISCOVER A SECRET
LET THY CARRIAGE
BE SUCH AS BECOMES A MAN GRAVE
LET THY CARRIAGE
BE SUCH AS BECOMES A MAN GRAVE
SETTLED AND ATTENTIVE
TO THAT WHICH IS SPOKEN
CONTRADICT NOT, AT EVERY TURN
WHAT OTHERS SAY, WHAT OTHERS SAY
UNDERTAKE NOT WHAT YOU CANNOT PERFORM BUT BE CAREFUL
KEEP YOUR PROMISE
BE NOT IMMODEST IN URGING YOUR FRIENDS TO DISCOVER
TO DISCOVER A SECRET
