ANYMORE

Dark clouds running thru my mind
Been going on for sometime
What’s that smell – stinking up the air
Desperation hatred and despair
Chorus
Education for the Nation
Throw it out – no hesitation
Feed the hungry – help the poor
We don’t do that anymore
I’m not going to take it any More
Spying down on you and me
Then trying to tell us we are so free
Brain washed blind eye They don’t see ..
Only profit based morality
Chorus
They’ve got no guilt, got no pride
Just economic genocide
Billions more for the war
Not a penny for Katrina poor
Don’t rock the boat - Don’t say a word
I want my voice to be heard
I won’t be quite – I’m going to roar
I’m not going to take it anymore
I won’t pretend that it’s OK I won’t look the other way
I’m not going to take it anymore
I’m not going to take it anymore
I CAN'T REMEMBER

I caught the corner of you eye just the other day
You pretended to be looking off the other way
All of a sudden I became a shy boy
Remembered how you said I was your fly boy
That was all before you went away
Those days made me feel like I was something fine
The smile in your eyes said you would be all mine
We would touch every time we heard the right song
When the moon was full - we kissed all night long
Ours was a love for all times
When you said - you said you would be my girl
Don't you know - you know your made my whole world
But then that night when I came home --- you weren't alone
People talking about you behind your back
I say don't you know she's really on the right track
I can here them say - she such a bad girl
But I really know - your just a sad girl
It's funny how your getting your payback
All those times your said how much our love had grown
You didn't care -- that I was all alone
You were out on the town telling your big lie - to some other guy
What could I say when people looked me in the eye
I just smiled and said it was a sweet good-bye
All your friends thought I was - such a bad boy
They didn't know that I - was just a sad boy
And that I was living one big lie
I can't remember all those sweet things you said
I can't remember laying by you in my bed
I can't remember what love was like back then
I never felt it again
...noooooo I can't remember ... What love was like back then noooooooo.....

SPARROW - Gil Reynolds © 7/05
Sparrow standing all alone
Suitcase by your side
First time away from home
Had to believe you’d be all right
Like a moth - on a moonless night
You were drawn to – the big city lights
Your dreams could not be bound
To a small town dead end life
All's fine when you’re with your friends
But there’s a chill when you’re all alone
And all the excitement ends
When you feel you have no home
Worn blue comforter – your winter cocoon
Lies folded by the empty bed in your old room…..
Chorus:
Home is in your heart, in your mind and in the faces
Of those who love you so
Sparrow find your flight, find new love, find new places
That you can call you own --- (and someday home) Last time
Thru the city streets you fly
Freedom like you’ve never known
Dart dodging swoop and glide
Lurking shadows down below
Dark fog rolls in– you try your best
To ignore the cold – an build a safe nest
Chorus……
Getting up when you fall down
Learning, growing, playing around
Life’s bigger now than ever before
Chorus…… Chorus……
