The Ledge Lyrics » Fleetwood Mac
[Chorus]
Counting on my fingers
Counting on my toes
Slipping thru your fingers
Watching how it grows
You can love me baby but you can’t walk out
Someone oughta tell you what it’s really all about
[Verse 1]
Do you ever wonder
Do you ever hate
Six feet under
Someone who can wait
You can love me baby but you can’t walk out
Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what it’s really all about
You’re never gonna to make it baby
Oh I guess I’m gonna make you crazy
Make it babe
Make it babe
Make it babe
[Chorus]
Counting on my fingers
Counting on my toes
Slipping thru your fingers
Watching how it grows
You can love me baby but you can’t walk out
Someone oughta tell you what it’s really all about

liner notes
:
About as far from
‘Over & Over’
as it’s possible to go. I was trying to find things that were off the radar. I took a guitar and turned it way down, in the range of the higher notes of a bass, not like a baritone guitar, where it’s correct, but where it’s actually a little incorrect — the strings are flopping around and sharping when you hit them. I wrote a little figure with that, threw some teenage influences at it with the drums. It becomes a bit surreal — you throw a bunch of vocals on top that are communal, messy, a little bit punky even.
I don’t think there’s anyone else on there but me. There were times when the band would augment, and there were times when, even if I took a song in with the intention of having them play, it wouldn’t necessarily stick. On this, that one guitar was covering everything. It was a concept piece on that level. There was nothing for John and Christine to do.
Lyrically, I didn’t really have anything to say other than what I could put together that sounded musical. There was probably something subconscious about the lyrics. You could say that about
Rumours
, too. I don’t think anyone in the band was in touch with the fact that we might have been writing dialogues with each other. It took the audience to help define that for us. That probably holds true for songs on
Tusk
, too.

What has the media said about the song?
Rolling Stone
named it the #47 greatest Fleetwood Mac song, saying:
‘Lindsey was really making a stand,’ Nicks
said of
Tusk
. And never so much as on ‘The Ledge,’ a happily demented leap into post-punk primitivism and noise for its own sake. He
recorded the song alone, turning his guitar down until it emitted an ugly rumble as he yammered another thinly veiled screed about his relationship with Nicks. ‘I was trying to find things that were off the radar,’ he recalled of the song and others like it on the LP. ‘On this, that one guitar was covering everything. It was a concept piece on that level. There was nothing for John or Christine to do.’
