Someone

from Plumb Drastic by Al Grantham

lyrics

Every little street contains a tune
To define you for a time then forget soon
The rodeo in Brantford takes me back
I never should have left for the race track

Now all my personal records are in their sleeves
I deactivated who I thought was me
And with my special heavy memory bags
I walked a ways away with heavy legs

Have a heart but don’t fall apart
It’s cool that Jesus nailed his art
But now everybody wants to be a someone

That ain’t you and that ain’t me
We’re more than what we could have been
Move Along
Cuz there’s nothing left to see here

The son was shining at the stars
With a light that shone all thoughtful brash bizarre
I looked both ways then walked backwards again
And bumped into my least popular friend

He told me what she told us from the start
The loneliest of hunters is the heart
And in your endless quest to keep it real
The only real thing is how you feel

Have a heart but don’t fall apart
You'll land inside a shopping cart
Everybody wants to be a someone

That ain’t you and that ain’t me
We’re more than what we could have been
Move along
Cuz there’s nothing left to see here

Al Grantham Toronto, Ontario

Drawing equally on the lyrical density of 60s folk, the irreverence of punk-rock and the experimental leanings of the alternative and anti movements, Al Grantham weaves a unique tapestry of music and words.
