Banks & Churches

from Shame on the Sun by Pascal Dennis

/

lyrics

Verse (A1): Banks & churches
Life reverses (& disperses)
Where have the tellers gone?
The choir’s happy song
Starbucks & condos now line streets of Toronto
Why am I feeling blue?
It’s just a different point of view
Goodbye Hogtown, hello Brigadoon

Verse (A2): Books & payphones
Pads & IPhones, what’s your birthstone?
My page is popular, my Tweets oracular
I check my latest ping, feeling second string
Got a telescopic lens.
What does Google recommend?
A thousand likes and not a single friend.

Chorus (B): Please don’t misunderstand
Old days were not that grand
But I miss the Reverend, and sometimes
The latest thing is built on sand.

Verse (A3): Dictionaries, tooth ferries, libraries
The park is overgrown, somebody flies a drone.
I’m sipping cappuccino with DeNiro and Pacino
The old neighbourhood is gone, the church’s carillon
Got a telescopic lens; I miss the Reverend.
What would Google recommend?
A thousand likes and not a single friend.
