ANYMORE

Copyright Gil Reynolds 2-06

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……
