Bruce Cockburn's "Tried and Tested" from the 2003 album, "You've never seen everything." Video by Kurt Penner.
Lyrics:
Tried and tested Tried and tested
By the cries of birds By the lies I've heard By my own loose talk By the way I walk By the claws of beasts By the laws of priests By the glutton's feast By the word police
By the planet's arc By the falling dark By the state of the art By the beat of my heart By dark finance By the marketing dance By the poverty trance By the fateful glance
Tried and tested Tried and tested
By the pressure to rhyme By the wages of crime By the drop of a dime By the ghost of the times By the spurs of desire By "What does love require" By what I waited for By what showed up at the door
Tried and tested Tried and tested
By the nation wide By the tears I've cried By the lure of false pride By the need to take sides By the weight of choice By the still small voice By things I forget By what I haven't met yet
Tried and tested Tried and tested
Pierced by beauty's blade and skinned by wind Begged for more -- was given -- begged again

Great video - Best one yet! I especially like the last bit with you drinking from the mug. That could be your "peace out" clip after each of your videos :) Unfortunately though I don't have an entry to compete with this one
Thanks man, yeah - guess I have a 'signature sign-off' now. Think I have used it once or twice before. This one was in the making for about a year off and on, nice to finally finish it, and try to leave all the second-guessing behind about how it could have been better (or different)! Hope your fishies are still doing ok too, wherever they are.
