 Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk » Die lirieke [+ Voeg +] |
1. _ Opened Once
(j.buckley)
I once was open, and one with a travelling heart.
I loved this sweet guy.
Just like a fiction rushing in your riverbed,
Arise like applause in my head.
And in the half-light, where we both stand
This is the half-light, see me as i am.
Just like the ocean, always in love with the moon,
It's overflowing now, inside you.
We fly right over the minds of so many in pain
We are the smile of light that brings them rain.
In the half-light, where we both stand
In the half-light, you saw me as i am.
I am a railroad track abandoned
With the sunset fogetting i ever happened,
That i ever happened.

2. _ New Year's Prayer
(j.buckley)
Oooooo
Fall in light, fall in light
Fall in light, fall in light.
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
As you now are in your heart
Fall in light
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel it as a water fall
Fall in light, ooh.
Fall in light, fall in light
Fall in light, ooh.
Fall in light, fall in light
Fall in light, grow in light.
Stand absolved behind your electric chair, dancing.
Stand absolved behind your electric chair, dancing.
Past the sound within the sound
Past the voice within the voice.
Ah. ah. ah.
Leave your office, run past your funeral,
Leave your home, car, leave your pulpit.
Join us in the streets where we
Join us in the streets where we
Don't belong
Don't belong
You and the stars
Throwing light
Oooooo (repeat)
Fall, fall.
Ooooo
Fall in light, fall in light
Fall in light, ooh.
Fall in light, fall in light
Fall in light, grow in light.

3. _ You & I
(j.buckley)
You and i.
Ah, the calm below that poisoned river wild,
You and i.
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child.
Where you look down
I've walked before, burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown.
If we had only known, in a way
We wouldn't reach this ground.
You were my only home, silver eyes.
I want to see you shine.
And we will fell the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true
You and i, you and i, you and i,
All for you.
Where you think you'll fall,
I adore you.
Where you shut your soul,
I will open for you.
If we had only known, in a way
We'd never reach this ground.
I'll know, silver eyes.
I can see us shine.
I said, we will fell the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for a true
You and i, you and i, you and i,
All for you.

4. _ Jewel Box
(j.buckley)
I know you are a woman by the way you burn below.
I'll tell you secrets so good, you'll never tell a soul.
Come closer, that bonfire holds his life like stones
My years, my life unknown.
Diamonds from he pavement
Where the broken glass had been.
Just like this troubles that i'm leaving to the wind.
Like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end.
Like thieves, my bad luck grows.
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Crystalize illusion shine, forgot i'm here
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly.
Star crossed child's love on the bands of wedding golds
Silver studs of promise hide in the red crushed velvet folds.
Inaction, intention, like emeralds i stole.
My speech of custom gold.
I think i ought to know.
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Crystalize illusion shine, forgot i'm here
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly.
You left some stars in my belly.
You left some stars in my belly.

5. _ Vancouver
(j.buckley/m.tighe/m.grondhal)
Lady, all the troubles are my fright, i disgust you.
Feel the power. you cut the truth into you.
Why? do you think i'd hidden out? on this rely
I could kiss you, with lines of escape in my mouth.
Please, let me bring back this gifts of mine to the woman.
His eyes shined on my back as i slept and knew you.
You didn't leave it all. you made an even call.
My belly released the stars and tears between the
Scars.
Ooooh.
We're where we belong, it should end here,
Until the end of time,
Beyond the moment that ends our bondage.
I am your failed husband contender,
I'm your loan shark of bliss.
This dream you've ridden on turns your world to explosions
You need to be alone to heal this bleeding stone.
Now, smell the rain of london, it still insists
That we beg for our purity.
As if we are pure in the rain of our contentment,
As if i can think of this no more.

6. _ Nightmares By The Sea
(j.buckley)
Beware the bottle thoughts of angry young men.
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons.
Little girls wants to make her home with him,
In the middle of the shore, she wonders,
"don't know what you asked for."
"don't know what you asked for."
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your rube is young and handsome,
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where you'll go.
I've loved so many times and i've drowned the all.
From their coral graves, they rise up when darkness
Falls.
With their bones they'll scratch the window,
I hear them call,
"don't know what you asked for."
"don't know what you asked for."
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your rube is young and handsome,
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where you'll go.
Stay with me under this waves, tonight.
Be free for once in your life tonight.
Your rube is young and handsome,
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where you'll go.
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your rube is young and handsome,
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where you'll go.
All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye.
Your rube is young and handsome,
So new to your bedroom floor,
You know damn well where you'll go.
Ah.ah.ah.

7. _ Morning Theft
(j.buckley)
Time takes care of the wound, so i can believe.
You had so much to give, you thought i couldn't see.
Gifts for boot heels to crush, promises deceived
I had to send it away to bring us back again.
Our eyes and bodies brighten silent waters, deep.
Your precious daughter in the other room, asleep.
A kiss "goodnight" from every stranger that i meet.
I had to send it away to bring us back again.
Morning theft. unpretender left, ungraceful.
True self is what brought you here, to me.
A place where we can accept this love.
Friendship battered down by useless history,
Unexamined failure.
What am i still to you?
Some thief who stole from you?
Or some fool drama queen whose chances were few?
That brings us to who we need,
A place where we can save
A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir.
You're a woman, i'm a calf.
You're a window, i'm a knife.
We come together making chance into starlight.
Meet me tomorrow night, or any day you want.
I have no right to wonder just how, or when.
You know the meaning fits. there's no relief in this.
I miss my beautiful friend.
I have to send it away to bring her back again.

8. _ Demon John
(j.buckley/m.tighe)
Say farewell, g'night, sonny-jim,
In your defenseless, winning smile.
What do you hope to win?
And bliss face down, defended.
Well, now stoned demon john
There's no town the boy cannot belong
Why did you come here?
Is it to excavate all your sins? boil within?
Slaughter like the daughter of the devil you send me.
I have to deal, you called me here.
You couldn't say that you were juiced
The night that you were introduced
To demon john
Gonna take him with you when you go?
Dance down slow. oh, way down.
You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissector
You undo you life with too much cocoon,
Who's your protector?
Dark is the city where the white girls walk by,
Down below your eyes, just like fireflies.
You call me here, come on here, follow me dear,
Past cascades of rage and fear.
You called me here.
You couldn't say that you had been juiced
The time that you were introduced to demon john.
Well, you knew you had to want to go , dance down slow.
By the light of the sun, murder comes
Today or tonight
Better get yourself and transcend it,
Or burst of light
Blaze stars into me,
While the love breaks through here and now.
So, murder by the light of the sun.
Please don't get too close to me.
You said you are for real, it's not pretend.
All memories stolen, know this for yourself.
How would you like to be the happiest man in the world?
Behind the weathered field hands, whose blistered
Paws
Harvest cut, for wedding clothes they'll never wear,
Marching down a road that was never there.
It takes place on a sunlit face and the backbone broken.
Please bring us light, demon john, you demon john.
Take him with you when you go.

9. _ Haven't You Heard
(j.buckley)
Your wish is my command!
Have you heard this talk about eye contact
Gonna be the downfall of this town.
First the photographs take you to the right hands.
Leads you to the authority mold.
Chorus:
Paranoia will write the world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, you're done for,
Done for, oh!
Phantoms in pockets, we're in panic,
Making order in total disgust
Oh, they read a list of all who cannot stay
Take you down, on the ground.
(chorus)
Make sure you learn to beware your neighbor
Bolt the doors and hire your guards
Suck your life with their virus called language
Someone told you this all would go down.
And the last thing you see is the luster,
Hold the razor, goodbye to your friends
Would your underground please call the mayor,
Call the neighbor, call your friends.
(chorus)
Well, when he first saw you, you'd need no protection
I train my eyes on your mouth, you'll learn to take him.
Hmmm. it's a brand new power.
My friends had her questions right
Beware your neighbor
Haven't you heard, haven't you heard
That we're done for. oh.
Learn to beware your neighbor
And the right mode
Haven't you heard?
Haven't you heard,
That we're done for, done for?
When i count down from ten
You'll feel the lead in your lids
You'll have no need to exist
And wake up refreshed
Hah!

10. _ Murder Suicide Meteor Slave
(j.buckley)
Would you like to meet the villain somewhere
Underneath the skull of a moon.
Fire burned his eyes out
Cause his chains are too long for you.
Someone has to pay for the damage done.
N-one's gonna love you now.
Your whole family's splintered,
You're a slave to it all,
Now.
Oooooo ahhhhh
You're a slave to it all now
You're a slve
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance,
With the stars to revolve around,
There is no real underground.
No stars to revolve around
Here, they're fashioning the noose.
Sickened by the knell of the graveyard bell
You know it's not long for you.
Sick of all the vomit childhood,
Not a trampoline for the freaks,
Not even a slave to your father.
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now,
Oh, you're a slave to it all, now.
Welcome down to paradise rock.
There is no single entrance
There's no stars to revolve around
There is no real underground.
You're a slave to it all, now.
Happy, happy, happy, happy,
Happy, happy, happy, happy.

11. _ Witches' Rave
(j.buckley)
It sounds like a scream,
I don't know what you mean.
Your witchcraft's all aroundme in your ragged pagan scene.
You tell me all the ways around my garden that you like.
I float just like a bubble heading for a spike.
All is well between the breasts of passenger and slave.
We'll never make it out to join the witche's rave.
You'd like to see him suffer for your fantasy and thrill.
He fell sick while we made love,
He's out there, somewhere still.
Oh, i feel the spell that you have cast,
Hot, pink, nasty bubble gum,
Coming down just like a big red coal.
Oooooooo. oooooooo.
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
Hey! i try to keep all hidden when you come around.
Oh, no! the sight of broomsticks sliding on the ground.
You're levitating something, cause i feel so collectible.
We're all lying natural,
He's watching from a window up above
I see he loves you, i'll bring you closer...
Something in my fate says it's not right for me
Tell me, am i cursed or am i blessed? i don't know, oh
Yes!
Cause all is well between the breasts
Of passenger and slave.
I'll never make it out to join the witche's rave.
Oooooooo. oooooooo.
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
I can't help from looking outside for a guarantee
For a guarantee.

12. _ Satisfied Mind
(j.hayes/j.rhodes)
This is a traditional folk song that has been sung by many artists, as the byrds in turn! turn! turn! or joan baez in farewell angelina
How many times have you heard someone say
If i had money, i'd do things my way,
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man with a satisfied mind.
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend, when you're lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.
When my life is over and my time has run out.
My friends and my loved ones, i'll leave them no doubt.
But, one thing's gone for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
Satisfied mind.

13. _ Yard Of Blonde Girls
(a.clark/l.cramer/i.lorre)
Originally performed by the nymphs
Through the yard, through the yard of blonde girls.
Through the river and the sea.
Gold sharks glittering.
A tree of white breaks the earth.
The streets where lola played.
Very sexy, very sexy. okay, okay.
Fear we may come.
Fear we may come.
Fear we may come.
Fear we may come.
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
It's in your heart, it's in your art, your beauty.
Even in this world of lies, there's purity,
You've got innocense in your eyes.
Even in this world of lies, you're still hopeful.
Very sexy. okay, okay.
Fear we may come.
Fear we may come.
Fear we may come.
Fear we may come.
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
Through the yard, through the yard of blonde girls.
Through the river and the sea.
Gold sharks glittering.
A tree of white breaks the earth.
The streets where lola played.
Very sexy, very sexy. okay, okay.
Fear we may come.
Fear we may come.
Fear we may come.
Fear we may come.
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run.

14. _ Back In N.y.c.
(m.rutherford/s.hackett/p.collins/p.gabriel/a.banks)
Originally contained in genesis' the lamb lies down on broadway
I see faces and traces of home
Back in new york city
So you think i'm a tough kid
Is that what you heard?
Well, i like to see some action,
And it gets into my blood.
Well, they let me out of pontiac
When i was just seventeen
I had to get it out of me
If you know what i mean, what i mean.
They say i must be crazy
Cause i don't care who i hit, who i hit.
Cause i know it's me that's hitting out
And i know i'm not full of shit.
Down by my bottle, filled up high with gasoline
You can tell by the night fires
Where a rail has been, has been.
As i cuddled the porcupine
He said i had none to blame but me.
Gave my heart, deep in hell,
Time to shave, shave it off, it off
No time for romantic escape and your
Fluffy heart is ready for rape
Off we go. off we go. off we go
You're sitting in your comfort
Who don't believe i'm real
You cannot buy protection
For the way that i feel.
Your progressive hypocrites
Handing out their trash
It was mine in the first place
So i'll burn to ash.
When i've taken all the strongest meats
And laid them down in colored sheets
Well, who needs illusions,
Of love and affection when you're out
Walking in the streets, your mainline connection.
Connection.
As i cuddled the porcupine
He said i had none to blame but me.
Held my heart, deep in hell,
Time to shave, shave it off, it off
No. no time for romantic escape
And your fluffy heart is ready for rape
No. no time for romantic escape
And your fluffy heart is ready for rape
No time.
Back in new york city.

15. _ I Know We Could Be So Happy, Baby (if We Wanted To Be)
(j.buckley)
There's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive.
Two cripples dancing to the end we lie.
I'm not with you, not of you.
Not with you, not of you.
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
And i hope i'll catch you in the throws
Of one last look at the wonder,
One last look at the wonder.
Oh, god, i love you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else we come to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
I'm hoping that i'll catch you in the throws
Of one last look at the joy that we've become.
But there's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive.
We were two cripples dancing, to the bitter end we live.
I'm not with you, but of you.
I'm not with you, but of you.
Oh, god, i loved you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else it comes to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
We had a birthplace in common
We had separate beds and lives.
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
Yeah, oh.

16. _ Everybody Here Wants You
(j.buckley)
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,
Coffe smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,
Coffe smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.
I'm only here for this moment.
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away.
Such a thing of wonder in this crowd,
I'm a stranger in this town, you're free with me.
And our eyes locked in downcast love, i sit here proud,
Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me.
I'm only here for this moment.
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away.
I know the tears we cried have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There's nothing in our way, my love
Don't you see, don't you see?
You're just the torch to put the flame
To all our guilt and shame,
And i'll rise like an ember in your name.
You know i, you know i,
I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
Let me show that love can rise, rise just like
Embers.
Love can taste like the win of the ages, babe.
And i know they all look so good from a distance,
But i tell you i'm the one.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you,
Thinks he needs you
And i'll be waiting right here just to show you.

17. _ Your Flesh Is So Nice
(j.buckley)
I want to tell you a story
About a little cutey
She's ass-slappin' pretty
And voluptous fingers
Wanna let her lick me
Stick the thick of my pussy
From across the street
She looks good enough to eat me
Kitty! your flesh is so nice
Your flesh is so nice
Let me take a bite
Your flesh is so nice.
Oh, i take off my belt
Oh, i whip the staircase
(whip the staircase)
Kill all the men
Everything's dead to them
You're the only one i follow
Come on and let me give you that "o".
Your flesh is so nice
I wanna take you twice
Your flesh is so nice
Oooo your flesh is so nice
Your flesh is so nice
Wanna take a bite
Your flesh is so nice
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is so
Your flesh is so
Nice
(repeat)
