Paul Gilbert - Turn Not Your Back (To Others)

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!

"Turn Not Your Back (To Others)" - Written and Produced by Paul Gilbert
Lyrics inspired by Washington Rules: 14, 76, 24 and 9

This song title comes from Rule #14, which is one of my favorites. Since I have hearing loss, I find it much easier to understand people when they face me. Hopefully this song will encourage more of that. Overall, I enjoy how these rules take on an urgent emotional quality when sung. "Lean not upon anyone" and "Do not laugh too loud" take on a new life with vocal harmonies and rising chords. And as you've likely noticed by now, I cannot resist inserting a rousing "Spit not in the fire."

Lyrics:
TURN NOT YOUR BACK
TO OTHERS
ESPECIALLY IN SPEAKING
JOG NOT THE TABLE OR THE DESK
ON WHICH ANOTHER READS OR WRITES
TURN NOT YOUR BACK
TO OTHERS
ESPECIALLY IN SPEAKING
JOG NOT THE TABLE OR THE DESK
ON WHICH ANOTHER READS OR WRITES

LEAN NOT UPON ANYONE
LEAN NOT UPON ANYONE

TURN NOT YOUR BACK
TO OTHERS
ESPECIALLY IN SPEAKING
JOG NOT THE TABLE OR THE DESK
ON WHICH ANOTHER READS OR WRITES

WHILE YOU ARE TALKING
POINT NOT WITH YOUR FINGER AT HIM
OF WHOM YOU DISCOURSE
NOR APPROACH TOO NEAR HIM
NEAR TO WHOM YOU TALK
ESPECIALLY TO HIS FACE, YEAH YEAH

DO NOT LAUGH TOO LOUD
AT ANY PUBLIC SPECTACLE
DO NOT LAUGH TOO LOUD
SPIT NOT IN THE FIRE
SPIT NOT IN THE FIRE

LEAN NOT UPON ANYONE
LEAN NOT UPON ANYONE

TURN NOT YOUR BACK
TO OTHERS
ESPECIALLY IN SPEAKING
JOG NOT THE TABLE OR THE DESK
ON WHICH ANOTHER READS OR WRITES

WHILE YOU ARE TALKING
POINT NOT WITH YOUR FINGER AT HIM
OF WHOM YOU DISCOURSE
NOR APPROACH TOO NEAR HIM
NEAR TO WHOM YOU TALK
ESPECIALLY TO HIS FACE, YEAH YEAH

DO NOT LAUGH TOO LOUD
AT ANY PUBLIC SPECTACLE
DO NOT LAUGH TOO LOUD
SPIT NOT IN THE FIRE
SPIT NOT IN THE FIRE
SPIT NOT IN THE FIRE
SPIT NOT IN THE FIRE
