Another Love Song
(c)Kevin Fisher/Mark McGuinn
I wrote you a song you’re gonna love to hate, hate to love
Either way baby, you’ll turn it up
Straight from my heart, right into yours
Complete with cliché and metaphor you’ve heard before
Now, if you think it’s trite, you’re right, it might be
But, honey, good love songs are like ice cream
You can never fill up, never get enough of a good thing
Does the world really need another love song
Another “you don’t know how much I miss you when you’re gone”
Another clever forever I’ll be true to you
Well, yes we do, here it is, sing along
I love you, I do
I love you, and it’s true
Tell me what’s wrong, what’s wrong
With another love song
From the radio waves straight to the elevator
It’s the on-hold music when you call the operator
Instead of whistling Dixie, you’ll be whistling it
It’s the itty-bitty ditty that you can’t forget
Now, if you think it’s trite, you’re right, it might be
But, honey, good love songs are like ice cream
You can never fill up, never get enough of a good thing
CHORUS
Now every love song needs a beautiful bridge
Well, here it is:
The London, The Brooklyn, The Golden Gate
Isn’t that bridge great
Isn’t it great
CHORUS

Go Back In Time
(c)Kevin Fisher
She asked him, “Do you love her?”
He stumbled on his answer
He knew she knew
It was way too late to
Go back in time
Before the question, before the crime
Before the crossing of the line
Before he knew she knew
It was way too late to
Go back in time
She will forgive but won’t forget
He’ll have to learn to live with regret
She asked him, “Do you love me?”
He said, “I feel the way I felt back when we first were married”
But he knew she knew
It was way too late to
Go back in time

Love Is Ageless
©Kevin Fisher
She was seventeen
He was seventeen, too
A couple kids in love
What could anybody do
But ten years down the road
Look at them now
They made it through some hard times
Somehow
Love is ageless, love is timeless
Love is always deep inside us
Love is magic and sometimes tragic
It’s a gift that heaven gladly gave us
Love is ageless
She was forty one
He was forty eight
Second time around
Making up for some mistakes
But a touch is still a touch
And a kiss is still a kiss
They held each other close
And sang “you must remember this”
…gonna find us
She was eighty four
He was five years gone
But she felt the earth move
When she played their favorite song
…gonna bind us

I’ll Be Fine
(c)Kevin Fisher
Whatever may come my way. I’ll be fine
Tomorrow is another day, I’ll be fine
Life is short, life is hard, I’ll be fine
Every breath’s a brand new start, I’ll be fine
I worked my fingers to the bone
My pockets held all that I own
Fell asleep where I laid down
I thousand welcomes I’ve worn out
I’ve learned enough that I can say, hey
Whatever may come my way, I’ll be fine
Tomorrow is another day, I’ll be fine
I’ve lost at love, I’ll try again, I’ll be fine
I don’t know where, I don’t know when, I’ll be fine
I pulled myself up off the mat
Lost my faith, got it back
Sat upon a mountain top
And thanked the Lord for all I got
The simple things are everything I need, hey
Whatever may come my way, I’ll be fine
Tomorrow is another day, I’ll be fine
This big old world one day will end, I’ll be fine
If those pearly gates will let me in, I’ll be fine
Dancing on those streets of gold, I’ll be fine
Forever young, that’s what I’m told, I’ll be fine
So whatever may come my way. I’ll be fine
Tomorrow is another day, I’ll be fine
Life is short, life is hard, I’ll be fine
Every breath’s a brand new start, I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine

The Boston Straggler
(c)Kevin Fisher
I was born in Concord, Mass, a mile from Walden Pond
With no silver spoon, no fine cut glass, no sacred magic wand
My father was a drunkard, my mom a drunkard’s wife
I left home at fifteen, much too young to start a life
I took a bus to Boston, I know it’s not that far
But all I had was fifty cents, my clothes and this guitar
But I found my way to Harvard Square and I opened up my case
And sang like I was Elvis and like I owned the place
A cop threw in a five spot, said get something to eat
We don’t need no stragglers begging on the street, guess
I’m the Boston Straggler, brother can you spare a dime
I’m the Boston Straggler, but I’m only killing time
By my eighteenth birthday I knew my way around
I could dine behind the finest restaurants anywhere in town
Summers I would sit out by the Charles to see it flow
Laugh beneath the sunlight and watch them yuppies row
Now I could hate my life, hate the destiny I’ve got
I could even get a job but I think I’d rather not, cause
CHORUS
All the kids from Harvard and all their teacher, too
And the hippies down on Mass Ave, and the ones from Boston U
They would gather by the checkerboards to hear me sing my songs
And fill my case with money and sometimes sing along
They’d sing, “I was born in Concord, Mass., a mile from Walden Pond
With no silver spoon, no fine cut glass, no sacred magic wand
There were songs of fallen soldiers, songs about my life
A song about a preacher man and three about his beautiful wife, who I liked
And when the nights were over I’d wish them luck in school
And say don’t forget the difference between Falstaff and the Fool, and the
CHORUS

Mrs. McCoy
(c)Kevin Fisher
Mrs. McCoy had a girl and a boy
A husband who was brave and true
But long since lately passed away
Her hair is grey but in a younger day
You could tell she wore it well
In her sky blue Chevrolet
She still lives on the plot of land her husband plowed with his own hands
And walks out in the garden like she always has
She laughs and says that she intends to lay herself down next to him
So they can watch the stars from underneath the grass
And every Sunday I arrive, thankful that she’s so alive
Smiling like a child with a toy
Mrs. McCoy
She loved to dance but rarely had the chance
Her husband was her one true love
But never found the beat
If she only could she swears to God she would
Stumble through his clumsy moves
Bless his two left feet
She stares out at some memory that touches her reminding me
That there are secrets only lifetime lovers know
She shakes it off and carries on, asks me how my week has gone
And taps her foot to something on the radio
And every Sunday I arrive, thankful that she’s so alive
Smiling like a child with a toy
Mrs. McCoy
And when I pray I always say
Thank you Lord, for making her
She still lives on the plot of land her husband plowed with his own hands
And walks out in the garden like she always has
She laughs and says that she intends to lay herself down next to him
So they can watch the stars from underneath the grass
And every Sunday I arrive to see the one who gave me life
And taught me how to fill it up with joy
Mrs. McCoy

Big Bang
(c)Kevin Fisher
I believe in the Big Bang, I believe in the Bible
I believe in Jesus Christ and I believe in his rival
I believe that a six day world took a billion years to make
I believe in a thousand gods and all but one’s a fake
I could be wrong, I could be crazy
My logic gone, my intellect lazy
But one day I’ll know for certain what’s really true
I’ll see behind the curtain, but ‘til I do
I believe in the Big Bang
I believe in Darwin, I believe in Freud
I believe that the modern world has got us paranoid
I believe that I prayer is stronger than an atom bomb
I believe in the internet at XXX.com
I could be wrong, I could be crazy
My logic gone, my intellect lazy
But one day I’ll know for certain what’s really true
I’ll see behind the curtain, but ‘til I do
I believe in the Big Bang
We’re all just flickers in this galaxy
Still my whole universe revolves around me
I could be wrong, I could be crazy
My logic gone, my intellect lazy
But one day I’ll know for certain what’s really true
I’ll see behind the curtain, but ‘til I do
I believe in the Big Bang

Keep Moving Forward
(c)Kevin Fisher
The lark and the whippoorwill
The daisy and daffodil
Try to think on these things
The subtle and whispered sound
Of fall leaves falling down
Try to think on these things
And let the rest roll off your back
Life is a challenge, that’s a fact
Keep moving forward
I know you hurt but here’s the deal
Everything living tends to heal
So keep moving forward, keep moving forward
The blush of a spring-fed rose
Wet grass in between your toes
Try to think on these things
Fearlessly diving in
Falling in love again
Try to think on these things
And let the rest just fade to black
Time isn’t something you get back
Keep moving forward
I understand the way you feel
But everything living tends to heal
So keep moving forward, keep moving forward
This is something that I know
I’m familiar with the road
There are two ways you can go
You can live life in the past
Or take account of what you have
And keep moving forward
Because in the end the deal
Is if you want to you can heal
So keep moving forward, keep moving forward
Keep moving forward
The lark and the whippoorwill
The daisy and daffodil

The Way I Feel
(c)Kevin Fisher
There’s a hole in my heart the size of your heart
A place in my life to place your life
There’s a smile that I wear around your smile
A hope that I’ve had for a long while
I hope you feel the way I feel
There’s a hunger and thirst that comes with loving
And there’s nothing on earth that’s satisfying
When the wanting is far from the having
It’s a mountain that rises with the climbing
So I hope you feel the way I feel
Isn’t that just like love to be painful and beautiful
How it won’t give up until every breath is breathed
Until every dream is dreamed and dying still believes
It was worth the journey
There’s a hole in my heart the size of your heart
A place in my life to place your life
There’s a smile that I wear around your smile
And a hope that I’ve had for a long while
And I hope you feel the way I feel
Yes, I hope you feel the way I feel

Something You’re Not
(c)Leah Andreone/Kevin Fisher
You can flow like a river
You can love like a saint
Beg like a sinner
For mercy and grace
Fight like an underdog
Give it all you got
But you can’t be something you’re not
You can dream like a mystic
Of some heavenly land
Or be more realistic
Feel the warmth of the sand
Steal a thousand kisses
And never get caught
But you can’t be something you’re not
So just be who you are
Everybody is a star
Do your thing, it’s all right
Share your love, shine your light
Doesn’t matter what anyone says
When it comes to being you, you’re the best
You’re the best
You can have everything that you need
Everything you want
But you can’t be something you’re not
So just be who you are
Everybody is a star
Do your thing, it’s all right
Share your love, shine your light
Doesn’t matter what anyone says
When it comes to being you, you’re the best
And you can’t be, no you can’t be
You just can’t be something you’re not
Something you’re not

We Belong Together
(c)Kevin Fisher
You are the one thing that makes me happy
You always light up the dark
Right my your side is the best vacation
You are my superstar
Me loving you is pure and simple
I wear my heart on my sleeve
You loving me is a lifelong summer
So here’s what I believe
Hey hey I believe in you you
You believe in me me
We belong together baby (2X)
Life doesn’t have to be so complicated
Love doesn’t always have to hurt
I get to be the exception to the rule
Start my day with dessert
Cause you are my sweet sweet situation
And I never want to get out
You pull me in like gravitation
Baby, you make me want to scream and shout
CHORUS
We belong together, baby (2X)

So Simple
(c)Kevin Fisher/Victoria Shaw/Hillary Scott
Go to school, find some work
Drive a truck, dig some dirt
Fall in love, settle down
It’s so simple it’s profound
Raise a kid, maybe two
Take some pride in what you do
Keep looking up when things are down
It’s so simple it’s profound
Sometime the obvious is so hard to see
We make a mountain of simplicity
And though life feels like a mystery to me
Here’s what I have found
It’s so simple it’s profound
Be satisfied with what you’ve got
Who you are, what you’re not
It’s a real good day if you’re above the ground
It’s so simple it’s profound
It’s so simple it’s profound

When The Walls Came Down

When The Walls Came Down
(c)Kevin Fisher
When the walls came down
There was smoke from the fire still burning
There were soldiers whose lives were returning
As ashes and dust to the earth
When the walls came down
There were flags from the enemy falling
There were voices in unison calling
To return to the place of our birth
Where we fought like the angels of hell were brought in
And the floods of the Bible were rising again
And our feet were dug hard in the ground
When the walls came down
When the walls came down
There were mothers whose teardrops were kissing
The photos of those who were missing
And whose memories the centuries will fade
When the walls came down
There were prayers for the dead and the dying
With the papers impatiently trying
To make sense of the final crusade
Where we fought like the end of the world was at hand
We held to our hearts and our chain of command
And the news reached the outskirts of town
When the walls came down
Dreaming of days when the land was a peace
And thunder was nothing to fear
We knew in our hearts that the fighting would cease
And the world all around us would hear
When the walls came down
Where we fought like the end of the world was at hand
We held to our hearts and our chain of command
And the news reached the outskirts of town
When the walls came down

Richard Seed
(c)Kevin Fisher
Richard Seed and just decreed
He’ll clone himself, oh yes indeed
A Harvard grad, once good, gone bad
Nine months from now will be his own Dad
How will he do it? Can it be done?
Without a woman will it be fun?
Will he get drunk in some slinky bar
Then invite himself in the backseat of his car
Oh, Richard Seed, Richard Seed
Did the stick turn blue when you pee’d
You got a wife, now get a life
You’re the science community’s Barney Fife
Maybe you smoked a bit too much weed
Oh, Richard Seed
Now this sick pup gets himself up
And shoots his future into a Dixie cup
And with a swish he makes a wish
And pours himself into a petri dish
Whatever happened to falling in love
And making a baby, is that not enough
Science is good for all the knowledge it brings
But even Darwin would say, “don’t monkey with things”
Oh, Richard Seed, Richard Seed
You let a sheep in Scotland take the lead
So don’t surmise you’ll get the Nobel Prize
For pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes
You’re just a clone ranger with a beaker to feed
Oh, Richard Seed

We tried to break up. But there must be some quantum time-shift or random wormhole that forces us to slide back into perpetual existence. We started in 1993, garnered some accolades, released 5 CDs, toured the U.S., had our songs cut by major artists, and garnered a bit of commercial airplay ourselves. We are grateful for everyone who has ever come to one of our shows and enjoyed our music. ... more
