No More Songs (Rehearsal Take)

Lyrics

[Intro] Rolling? Rolling Okay, it's called "No More Songs" And uh, it's in the key of E minor And now I want to have an intro, and a middle, and a ending starting in G And so like the Ondioline, probably Maybe supported by some lute or something comes in With a melody like this: Ba ba ba, ba ba ba Ba ba ba, ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [Verse 1] Hello, hello, hello Is there anybody home? I've only called to say I'm sorry The drums are in the dawn And all the voices gone And it seems that there are No more songs [Interlude] I'd like to do a ninth after some of these, or maybe all of thеm E minor ninth And once I knew a girl And herе I'd like a, I believe the recorder to come in And do, like, a countermelody [Verse 2] Once I knew a girl She was a flower in a flame I loved her as the sea Sings sad— sings sadly Now the ashes of the dream Can be found in the magazines And it seems that there are No more songs [Verse 3] And once I knew a sage Who sang upon the stage And told about the world His lover A ghost without a name Stands ragged in the rain And it seems that there are No more songs [Interlude] And back to the G Maybe another melody here Ba ba ba, ba ba ba Ba ba ba, ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [Verse 4] The rebels they were here They came beside the door They told me that the moon Was bleeding Then all to my surprise They took away my eyes And it seems that there are No more songs [Interlude] And may, maybe a figure like Da da da, da da da, da da da, da da da On the Ondioline or the lute, maybe the lute And the recorder returns with anoth— with a, another countermelody Or related or the same as the girl verse, verse two [Verse 5] A star is in the sky It's time to say goodbye A whale is on the beach He's dying A white flag in my hand And a white bone in the sand And it seems that there are No more songs [Verse 1] Hello, hello, hello Is there anybody home? I've only called to say I'm sorry The drums are in the dawn And all the voices gone And it seems that there are No more songs It seems that there are No more songs It seems that there are No more songs [Outro] Ba ba ba, ba ba ba Ba ba ba, ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba And that, and then a— Uh, the tape's still rolling, right? And then, uh, just, just to make sure we got it exactly right E minor, D, E minor, C, D E minor, G to D, C, D, E minor, ninth I just learned the ninth chord Okay, that's all
