Well she’s halfway over this hard on son She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she’s quite sure she’s not the only one She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving Well there’s a quiver up her backbone, dogs in the dust She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she’ll take what she needs and she’ll do what she must She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving There’s a raw bone whisper underneath the cover Louder than a dead man’s drum There’s a joke that they told her when she got much older When she knew just what she’d become Oh let me tell ya that she’s… One part evil, three-fifths blind She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she’s oh so delicate and still don’t mind She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving Well there’s a chance that she knows where the bodies are kept She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she still don’t remember the tears that she wept She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving There’s a raw bone whisper underneath the cover Louder than a dead man’s drum There’s a joke that they told her when she got much older When she knew just what she’d become Oh let me tell ya now… Well she’s all too generous with my time She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she knows that injustice is no real crime She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And I will always remember the way that she crawled She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving When I throw up in the rain she pretends she’s appalled She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving There’s a raw bone whisper underneath the cover Louder than a dead man’s drum There’s a joke that they told her when she got much older When she knew just what she’d become
Baby doll, do you believe
They'll catch you when you fall
And when morning comes, the sun is gonna shine
Don't forget your minor key's
Your half lit cigarette
'Cause when morning comes, God knows that you'll be mine
So let me in,
I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins
Not leave it to chance and sweet coincidence
That's just crazy and you know it's true
Well they said you were long gone
I just laughed and said alright
Bring her home tonight
And I heard you was graciously put on
I just laughed and said good night guess it's alright
Baby doll, the men who hang
Like flowers in you hall
Are asking when your love is gonna show
And who knows why the love you need
Will always pass you by
Well I heard it's true your love is gonna grow
So let me know,
'Cause I can stay, or honey I can go
Just do whatever you tell me so
And find my place there and there I'll stay
Well they said you was burned out, I just laughed
And said come on she's not burned, she's just gone
And it took me too long till I found out
Faces that you know the best, oh well I guess
And they laughed when you said you was leaving
Everybody knows you well
Except for me can't you tell
And you watched from the wings of the late show
Roses by your feet of red
For me you said
Baby doll
Baby doll
Baby doll...
Well I was chasing down flies and shooting up women
Trying to get the whole thing straight in my head
Lookin for a girl who’d come with me swimming
And come and play tunes at the end of my bed
And all the hardmen were drinkin down petrol
Bamming up the girls when in came the law
Heading for the door and getting tongue tied
When they asked me what exactly I saw
Chorus:
So I’ll get some Monte Christo’s
And we can all go see the band
Well I may not be a looker yeah
But I’ll help you any way I can
Back at my room I was making me nervous
Watching TV and picking my feet
Wishing I was pretty and burning my shoes
And wishing for once I’d kept the receipt
I called myself and wondered out loud
Tried to get the whole thing straight in my head
I left the tape running and played it back
Twice but I couldn’t make sense of what I had said
Chorus
Bridge:
Well it may not make you handsome
And it may not even make you feel aliiiiiiive
You may not have the ransom
But you can always count on this
It’s him and them and she and me
And sick and muddy, everybody
Alt Chorus:
So you can bring y
124a
our wasters banjo
Bring yer sister and her friend Diane
Well I may not have a big boys pistol
But I’ll help them any way I can
Alt Chorus 2:
And you can call me Cinderella!
You can make me your best man
Well you may be a right old queen
But I’ll help you any way I can
She said, "I know that there will come a time
When I get nothing from the blood and the wine"
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
You'll find me a silver chain
They'll deny me and whisper my name
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'll carry myself half way blind
Through each and every doorway I can find
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna lose my lonely mind for you
Well there's an answer if only I knew
It'll carry my heart home to you
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm digging the dirt for a sign
And pray to let my little light shine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
Tell one last beautiful lie for me
Make all your promises rhyme for me
Keep me in line but do it honestly
Make it real, make it slow, stay alive for me
Come on, babe where the line goes dead
I'll be fire, I'll be rain, I'll be joy, I'll be dread
Come on, baby don't be shy
All I want is you and I
Out on the street
I'll be every face
There'll be no man alive
That can take my place
Give it up, let it go
The sooner you do the sooner I'll go
I'm digging the dirt for a sign
And I'll pray to let my little light shine
And set my heart on the line
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
Hello stranger, it’s been oh so long Since we rode our luck where we once belonged I think of you sometimes when the air is clear I wonder are you near? Sometimes the end is sweet Though when it comes to you, my poor heartbeat Gets out of sync and time plays tricks Old visions of you are where this boy sticks I see you in these books I read Are you still being born at breakneck speed? Sometimes there’s no confession On this earth that will not leave you bound Listen to the streetcars breathing The night is young and life is calling I’ll see you when the dream gets moving Lift your eyes, the world is watching And after all, we both know how this ends We both know we must give back what we spend Hello stranger did you ever find All those priceless jewels that you kept entwined? I sometimes hear your name when the day gets slow I wonder did you know I left your house praying While those words I spoke hung upside down? Listen to the streetcars breathing The night is young and life is calling I’ll see you when the dream gets moving Lift your eyes the world is watching And after all we both know how this ends We both know we just give back what we spend Listen to the streetcars breathing The night is young and live is calling I’ll see you when the dream gets moving Lift your eyes the world is watching So lose those sad eyes and be on your way Keep your friends close and your love on display And after all, we both know how this ends We both know we must give back what we spend Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day Let it out turn around slip away Maybe we’ll meet again some day
