PRIVACY
i walk this subtle monument
a memoir of another life
a life i left behind
pardon me, as i shall walk away
and dream upon another day
another frame of mind
what you say cannot affect me now
but what you do can anger
so forget me now
what you hear and what i say to you
may not amount to anything
so leave me now
yes i know, i know
that time moves on
flare dog baby
has an open book
a chapter torn and sold to you
resting in your head
filthy secrets garnish everyday
like everyday was yesterday
yeah, that's what she said
the passage to utopia
is barred and locked for none to see
so you may never leave
it's just like a lie does not exist
unless there's someone to believe
yes i know, i know
that time moves on
walk along and toss aside
the evidence of your own lie
to forget the past
and live tomorrow as a brand new day
not focused on yesterday
it can never last
but if you don't believe in yesterday
there won't be another day
to be left behind
blinders only rose your view
the skeptic's criticism's leaving you
and, as all, you're blind
yes i know, i know
that time moves on

Take The Sun And Sing

TAKE THE SUN AND SING
...and another passerby
eclectic, without wearing hats
he goes into town
he's scraping by on what he has
and that's not much
mrs. green is washing windows
for her christmas day, so long
and it rains so hard
that the other side is fading
and i can't tell what the signs read
it's as dim as a fireplace burnt out
the sky, it crumbles
landing in my two hands
where's your payment?
i said that i was tapped out for the fall
greed is money
and the grass is growing
greener over there
the grey cloud's bursting
drenching us with all the
tears from up above
and this hole in my wall
is growing
well, i don't know what to say
my silence is my only solace
don't make me speak when
i have nothing to say
and she'll take the sun and sing
but i'd never know the tune
that she sang to me back then
i'll hum my own melody
yeah, she'll take the sun and sing
but i could not care less
just leave me be, just leave me alone
just leave me the fuck alone
there goes that man
who begged me for my change
though i had none
here comes the sun
burning brighter
if i could sleep, to sleep, to sleep
i'd sleep a quarter century in red
the plate glass window
is breaking, pane by pane
so i pick up my pieces
of a broken yesterday
wake up! your dream is over
tell me what's going on
the sun is taken
sing a song, a futile hymn
the sun is taken
but if you ask me
i don't believe it...

ANNA GOLD
tell me a story of long ago
let your words fall down like rain
to an empty bottle, to catch the wind of
this message carved against the grain
of a sunny day
what sort of secrets have you in your head
your curtain falls on an empty stage
the biased words of the madman reaches
the twisted bars of his empty cage
on the darkest day
daylight comes and daybreak goes
it's a shame for anna gold
cross the seaway - drown the pride
and sleep on the summer floor
breathe the air in your wooden chair
burning the midnight oil
daylight comes and daybreak goes
it's a shame for anna gold
a thousand monks pay respect to your silence
what did you think, when they passed your way?
tired smiles, look past your window
too sick to feel too much to say
on a rainy day
daylight comes and daybreak goes
it's a shame for anna gold
close your eyes and sleep away
your tenure on the summer floor
curse the green and grace the skies
burning the midnight oil
daylight comes and daybreak goes
it's a shame for anna gold
i walk alone - the river's falling
i lie awake and hear my mother calling
i walk alone - i lie awake
tell me a story of long ago
when your visions fell down like rain
to broken bottles and twisted windows
betray the message carved against the grain
of a sunny day
i walk alone - the river's falling
i lie awake and hear my mother calling
i walk alone - i lie awake
i walk alone - i lie awake
daylight comes and daybreak goes
it's a shame for anna gold
i say my peace and close the door
for the girl on the summer floor
seasons shift - another rift
burning the midnight oil
daylight comes and daybreak goes
it's a shame for anna gold
stealing anna's gold...

Let The Deal Go Down

LET THE DEAL GO DOWN
i know you
you're not so new around town
hiding your image
in your wedding gown
you got candy in your blood
and a palace full of whores
all tied up and twisted
and begging me for more
your hair shines like the gold
that you stole for me
sugar shaker meltdown
hanging someone else's tree
i swung my bat and cradled you
how could you ever fall?
after everything i did for you
you ain't got no will at all
and i want you to
and i need you to
so why won't you
believe me
and let this deal
go down
masquerade as solar flares
i always held you up so high
you're always crashing down on me
as if you could ever fly
i stuffed your pants with pennies
and i filled your head with dreams
without me, you're alone
it's not as simple as it seems
and i want you to
and i need you to
so why won't you
believe me
and let this deal
go down
you says it's sick, the way i suck on you
and bleed you dry
sugar rush or ignorance?
suspended in the sky
kiss me one, you're mine for life
however long that it may be
so fragile on the brink of death
it doesn't matter much to me
and i want you to
and i need you to
so why won't you
believe me
and let this deal
go down

CRY (what do you know?)
if you cry
don't make me feel hollow
if you cry, cry, cry
i won't be there
and if you die
don't wait for me to follow
if you die, die, die
i won't be there
when you call
if you sigh
don't look to me for sorrow
if you sigh, sigh, sigh
i won't be there
and if you lie
don't think about tomorrow
if you lie, lie, lie
i won't be there
when you call
so what do you know?
not much now
and you cried
when you said that you
were coming home
and you lied
when you said that you
were leaving home
around and around
and around and around
i know you'd go
and you cried
so i am never coming home
when you call
so what do you know?
not much now

Chris Anderson - BG Alexandria, Virginia
Bootleg Records is my way of organizing recordings that wouldn't be considered for release on the Flying Dachshund Music label. Songwriting demos, outtakes, live sets, band projects, pseudonym projects, and experimental sessions are what can be found on the BG label, The kind of stuff that would be bootlegged. What started out in 2005 as a limited run of 20 titles has grown to 200 and counting.... ... more
