TRANSCRIPT RECORD AS RERECORDED TRANSCRIBBED TEST OF MEANT FOR MONEY


irascible driveler erasable gaveler somewhat the monkey shwhines
order in the cords
2 hardboiled detectives n a fry-me-up-a-river a swatch

let's lisp
spill the slip untongue the cold steel
betrait of the con-gap ask eye-joined ma'am

cuz you see now its fight and flight
n no train'll hold us
no wart piece us a meal replay harmoharmoiety

strIver thrust a cold beckon snatch to win
wean 'e was a ladsie
them thurible conned renderers of perdoname-itions

any missed spell could be last or last
solvent gruel the vie in viscerum the dye in pro rata the pi in sentence
simply put to stay n naeever exscrap
