"One Slip" - Pink Floyd cover on ukulele

I uploaded a version of this yesterday and decided today I hated it and needed to redo it. I'm still not entirely happy with this take, but it will have to do.

It's from the infamous album _A Momentary Lapse of Reason_ and even lends the album its title. It's the climax of the album in more ways than one, lol.

As long as we are throwing copyright laws to the wind, here are the lyrics. I know, I know, there is a lot of controversy (at least in Roger Waters' mind) as to whether this is really Pink Floyd, but these lyrics are too good to overlook.

"One Slip" -- written by David Gilmour & Phil Manzanera

A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word her honour to defend

I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I lead the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence

One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight

Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone

One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life to a life
The one regret, you will never forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight.
