The Family Silver

from LIGHTBULB PROVERBS by Euie b Graham

lyrics

I’ve been thinking about the consequence
That making money never made much sense
When I was young nothing could go wrong
Now I gotta pay the government
Now I gotta pay the land lord's rent
The novelty soon wears thin
And don’t forget about the middle man
Always taking what he can
The reality soon grows tired
I’ve been thinking about gravity
And how its getting harder to be free
When I was young everything was at a distance
And the world seemed so tall
And a trampoline cushioned the fall
It’s a side of the greener shade
It’s a place where we find ourselves endlessly
Can’t you come back to stay?
Can’t you come back today?
I need somebody to raise me
I’ve been lying like a corpse in bed
I’ve been filling my head with dread
If I ever get to sleep again, then I’ll dream about my magic powers
And how everything can turn on a dime
When the lights are shining faster – it’s a sign
When the lights flash faster
The family silver has been protected
From all those noisy bits
The family silver filled with good humour
Can’t stay out late tonight (repeat)

I would love others to listen and enjoy, and hold out hope that I May find an audience. ... more
