"What he said..."

lyrics

Greenwich (Circa) words/music: bill mallonee

Well, the streets were freezing over when i blew into the Village
2 feet of snow and i was soaked to the bone
no place to crash, and a little short on the cash
I hit 3 open mics, and waltzed with all the dough

Had a voice like an ancient text
guitar slung round my neck
Marine band harmonica
...always in tow
you summon up the past
to speak about the present
songs are just telling 'em
what they already know

chorus:
take the world a part and then
but, be gentle my friend
and try and put it
back together again

now most of the truth
are the things they never tell you
they keep it all disguised
under a wallet of fear
and what passes for riches
among the bought and sold
you learn to tell the fool's gold
from the things that you'll hold dear

chorus:
take the world a part and then
but, be gentle my friend
and try and put it
back together again...
