lyrics

I can ignore your dirty looks
Your nose in those mystery books
Renting DVD’s
Lost in a haze.
Your sense of contempt
At my obvious neglect
When you say those things
I act unphased.

Movies aren’t life
It has better writers
You kiss and make up
Forgive and stop fighting.
But this ain't no Hollywood
This is jeans and tee shirts
Those sounds from your mouth
Words hurt.

I'd take a busted arm
To save a broken heart
I'd move right out
So I wouldn't have to hear your mouth.
I'm die-hard romantic
Oh I wish we'd work it out
But it's way past fixing
You can have half your house.

You could smack me in the eye
I could easily make you cry
I don't know when it happened
But I lost her.
I saw “Fatal Attraction”
And our sequel is much worse
But this acting around here
Is worth 2 Oscars.

Movies aren’t life
It has better writers
You kiss and make up
Forgive and stop fighting.
But this ain't no Hollywood
This is jeans and tee shirts
Those sounds from your mouth
Words hurt.

I’d take a busted arm
To save a broken heart
I'd move right out
So I wouldn't have to hear your mouth.
I'm die-hard romantic
Oh I wish we'd work it out
But it's way past fixing
You can have half of your house.

Movies aren’t life
It has better writers
You kiss and make up
Forgive and stop fighting.
But this ain't no Hollywood
This is jeans and tee shirts
Those sounds from your mouth
Words hurt.

Rand Reynolds Nashville, Tennessee

Rand Reynolds writes authentic Hillbilly Noir, a new music genre he created in 2005 to describe his haunting Edgar Allen Poe- like lyrics accompanied by a stark, rustic Martin guitar sound. The songs reek of the human abyss, danger and disappointment because, in Reynolds' Noir world, hope and desperation go hand in hand -- for his dreams of easy deliverance are empty, two sided and vague. ... more
