Songs That Harry Wrote - Harvey Andrews, Graham Cooper[00:00:00]
Written by:Harvey Andrews[00:00:01]
I was in a bar room just the other night[00:00:11]
Tuning my old guitar[00:00:13]
When two young girls stood in front of me[00:00:16]
And one said hey grandpa[00:00:18]
You gotta plug in[00:00:21]
You gotta synthesise[00:00:22]
You gotta get outta those jeans[00:00:23]
We came here for music tonight[00:00:26]
And they hire us an old has been[00:00:28]
And we wanna dance machine[00:00:31]
I was far too tired to be angry[00:00:42]
I was too d**n broke to be mad[00:00:45]
I said give me a try tonight ladies[00:00:47]
I might not be too bad[00:00:50]
You see every song has a story[00:00:52]
If you listen you might just learn[00:00:55]
That life's for the living by everyone[00:00:57]
And youth is a flame you burn[00:01:00]
What you borrow you must return[00:01:02]
And I sang the songs that harry wrote[00:01:08]
I sang with all my soul[00:01:11]
For annie from america[00:01:14]
And the singing made me whole[00:01:16]
Yes I sang for the mister tanners[00:01:21]
For the waitresses with dreams[00:01:24]
For the lost ones and the lonely[00:01:26]
And for all that music means[00:01:28]
There were songs before machines[00:01:31]
And when the night was over[00:01:42]
And the room began to clear[00:01:45]
And the glasses clinked[00:01:48]
And the spotlight blinked[00:01:49]
And I reached for another beer[00:01:50]
I looked around for the young girls[00:01:53]
But they must have left too soon[00:01:55]
And I thought that trying to reach those kids[00:01:58]
Is like trying to reach the moon[00:02:00]
Flying a silver spoon[00:02:03]
And I thought those days are over[00:02:09]
And the songs must all be dead[00:02:11]
Am I the last one singing all the memories in my head[00:02:14]
I'd given them my best shots[00:02:19]
And I'd hoped that they could see[00:02:21]
That what the songs were saying is[00:02:24]
You grow up fast and free[00:02:27]
But you can't fight destiny[00:02:29]
And I sang the songs that harry wrote[00:02:50]
I sang with all my soul[00:02:53]
For annie from america[00:02:55]
And the singing made me whole[00:02:58]
Yes I sang for the mister tanners[00:03:02]
For the waitresses with dreams[00:03:05]
For the lost ones and the lonely[00:03:08]
And for all that music means[00:03:10]
There were songs before machines[00:03:13]
The clock was chiming midnight[00:03:24]
When I walked out to my car[00:03:26]
And standing there were the two young girls[00:03:29]
So I put down my guitar[00:03:31]
And the one reached up to kiss my cheek[00:03:34]
And the other one held my hand[00:03:36]
And they said we thought you ought to know[00:03:39]
It's a like a new found land[00:03:41]
And now we understand[00:03:44]
While you sing the songs that harry wrote[00:03:49]
You sing with all your soul[00:03:53]
For annie from america[00:03:55]
And the singing makes you whole[00:03:57]
Yes you sing for the mister tanners[00:04:02]
For the waitresses with dreams[00:04:05]
For the lost ones and the lonely[00:04:07]
And for all that music means[00:04:10]
There were songs before machines[00:04:12]
