FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION: THROW THOSE TROLLS AWAY

This is a track that was listed on some of the original printings of the FOTR album.  It never made it.  For obvious reasons.  I suppose it's sort of a public service announcement against trolls.  In any case, it was never finished and this extant version is courtesy of the 25th anniversary demo disc.  The verse of this of course was eventually re-written for the song 'I Believe' which is coming up on the next album!  This is the last song that I will post for Fables and I will start with Lifes Rich Pageant next week!


WHEN I WAS YOUNG (THROW THOSE TROLLS AWAY)
When I was young, a year of hate, are medium, rattlesnake
When I was young and full of life, are medium, evening light
When I was young and full of grace, are medium, a pretty face
When I was young and fever fell, are medium, I would not tell, I will not tell

(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
(Don’t be a loser)

When I was young, a year of hate, are medium, rattlesnake
When I was young and full of light, are medium, evening light
When I was young and full of grace, are medium, a pretty face
When I was young and fever fell, are medium, I would not tell, I will not lie

(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Me all medium
(Don’t be a loser)

Could you turn the guitar up a little bit?

When I would move, the wind would move, and the wind would move, and I would move
And our medium was embarrassing, are medium
When I was young and full of life, are medium, evening light
When I was young and fever fell, are medium, I would not tell, I will not lie

(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls
(Don’t be a loser)

Now I’m young and full of hope, are medium, was given up
Are medium

(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)
Throw those trolls away
(Don’t be a loser)


A very fun little riff.  The chorus is a neat, almost bluesy, jam.  Really a rockin' tune.  Too bad it never came to fruition.
