The Black Crowes : Three Snakes and One Charm
Les paroles
1. UNDER A MOUNTAIN
Never a heaven an age old question
Written from a cold place
I feel sour I need a shower
Or just a slap in the face
Circumstance has left romance
And a puzzle in front of me
Who knows the ending, if the truth need
Bending, A lie is the tool that you'll need
So I'm under a mountain
Stuck to this mattress
Perfume and valium
What makes a Sunday different from Monday
Could be a look in her eyes
In need of flattery she changes batteries
So that her light will shine
The words she utters either so flows or
Stutters
They're either silly or wise
Anger with concern
But never to yearn
Only to be by your side
Lay down with number 13
Its a cold gray shame
2. GOOD FRIDAY
We've been avoiding this for so long
Luxury is temporary than it's gone
I thought that we would happen
I guess I'm wrong
We'll move along
I know this will be awkward
But not for long
Cause soon you'll have a new boy
To sing you songs
I will not forgive you
Nor will I accept the blame
I will see you on Good Friday
On Good Friday
I'm sorry I couldn't do this yesterday
And tomorrow I am busy and what
It is I can't say
And Saturday's no good
I got a show
So it's got to be Good Friday
Then it's so long
You, You come and go when you please
I know unfulfilled heads
I know you do too
But I, you know I never see
Things through,
Never paid attention to you
But honey I tried
3. NEBAKANAZER
Nebakanezer never knew
He left his needle outside in the rain
And it rusted through
He had twenty-nine blackbirds
But only one flew
Spent most of his time making holes
And licking his wounds
Nebakanezer lost his wife
She took her diamond rings and was
Gone before the light
She left one satin shoe and a
Very dull knife
She left one satin shoe and a very dull knife
So tell us what the sorry singer
Might do
All of his friends complain
That they got the flu
They ain't sick in the head
They look like the living dead
And that’s not cool
4. ONE MIRROR TOO MANY
From the moment you see
The moment you breath
The moment I touch you
From the moment you crawl
The moment you fall
The instant I loved you again
From the moment of darkness
The moment of light
The second I kissed you
From the moment I enter
The moment I leave
In this moment of rapture
One mirror to many gonna tie you up
A life forever empty has got to be tough
To many starless night gonna leave you blind
Can never make it right
From the moment you stumble
The moment you run
In your presence I crumble
From the moment it happens
The moment you know
There's no life without you
5. BLACKBERRY
Hey Blackberry, How you taste so sweet
Hey Blackberry, tell me what you see
Tell me is it interesting
Hey Blackberry pay some attention to me
Hey Blackberry look at my bumblebee
Hey Blackberry you know he never stings
And he only hums for me
I need some L-O-V-E-N to make me happy
You got to be L-U-C-K-Y to get
With a girl like Blackberry
Hey my cherry,coming up my street
Hey my cherry, you make it hard to breath
Look what you've done to me
Hey my cherry, be sure to keep your nose clean
6. GIRL FROM A PAWNSHOP
With a pawnshop eyes and a second hand frown
She sat silent at the table
Her boots were brown
Well, should she leave town
To play the role of lover expatriate
A nod to the waiter, always her flirty behavior
You know she always gets one on the house
And she pulls out a letter
From a bag that's under her sweater
And before she reads she
Straightens her blouse
There's a passion in being alone
A grace in a loveless time
There is no new cross
There is no new sign
Only the sun and the changing tide
Out of respect
Well, I really must confess
I never lost your number
I never lost your address
And if we remain friends at best
Sometime later no, no not yet
We'll smile and remember it like this
She put back the letter
One tear falls like a feather
And disappears
On the bar room floor
The gratuity included
You know, the letter concluded
P.S. All my love
There's a passion in being alone
A grace in a loveless time
There is no new cross
There is no new sign
Only the sun and the changing tide
Out of respect
Well, I really must confess
I never lost your number
I never lost your address
We remain friends at best
Sometime later no, no not yet
We'll smile and remember it like this
Well, I won't remember your name
I said, P.S. all my love
I said, P.S. all my love
P.S. all my love
I gotta say P.S. all my love
Yeah, all my love
7. (ONLY) HALFWAY TO EVERYWHERE
You could be so energy
Electricity
You could be lightening
You could be anything
A masterpiece
A revolutionary
You can see what, you want to see
Can you let it be
Learn or teach
I'm only halfway to everywhere
I'm thinking positively
Positively
This is possible
They can say right or wrong
Never hear this song
Or look you in the eye
I'm getting rid of negativity
Lose the loss in me
Call it equality
Good luck is a frame of mind
Call it humankind
And say it's destiny
8. BRING ON, BRING ON
What could I do different
It makes one sober to think
In an age of illusion
It's hard to know when to stop
How could I live indifferent
Believing in time and fate
As long as I have a witness
My name is not at stake
Bring on this flowering
Bring on, Bring on
Bring on this flowering
Bring on thou words cannot describe
It's hard waiting for heaven
May your song keep you alive
And on the day I said good-bye
My drowning tear catches a light
Like the gift of sight
The baby's eye, darkness into light
I can rest my soul and
Walk in the light
I'm positively spring time
The gift of sight
The baby's eye
Darkness into light
9. HOW MUCH FOR YOUR WINGS?
How much for your wings
How much for your wings
Well it comes and it goes
How much for your wings
And it's high and low
How much for your wings
I can name a price
How much for your wings
Many forget their pride
If I were you and and you were me
We'd know
And could it be what you perceive
Is wrong?
And what I mean what wrong could be
I don't know
I'm not naive but I believe
So I may grow
How much for your wings
The soul you kiss good-bye
How much for your wings
Watch the stars collide
How does it feel
When you're the only one
10. LET ME SHARE THE RIDE
Hey there buddy
Slow down for me
I'm friendly and I'm clean
I will not rob you or cause you misery
Your wheels sound good to me
I ain't green with travel
As you can see
I only got one bag
If I am trouble drop me off
In Abilene
I'll pay my gasoline
Let me share the ride
Let me share the ride
It's hard living on travel time
Please let me share your ride
I never was a young man
Never felt old
This life is a mystery
My coffee's hot not cold
I'll turn your dashboard gold
Slow down take a look at me
I'm not not running from anything
I've no past to hide
I've got no secrets haunting me
I just easy ride
11. BETTER WHEN YOU RE NOT ALONE
I love you in the worst way
The only way I know
They say the clearer the water
The more that it shows
They say the deeper the river
The stronger the love
Your eyes don't lie to me
And your smile is worth its weight in gold
This Life, this life aches
And this life moans
This life is great, this life is great
And it's better when you're
Not alone
Not alone
You love me in the worst way
The only way you know
They say the higher the mountain
The more love that grows
They say the stronger the wind blows
The farther we'll go
I hope you don't lie to me
There's nothing better than your
Touch
How many times does this happen two people
Like us meet
As I try to be humble and lay
Down at your feet
12. EVIL EYE
This is illegal
Thru an evil eye
And I won't deceive you
This I testify
You all know the reason why
I won't enslave you
A little bliss forever
I'm not afraid to love you
A little bliss forever
Look at the world with an evil eye
Your cold heart won't let you cry
Try to make a change in the wink of an eye
Do you have it in you to even try
Jesus can't save you
Though it's nice to think he'd try
This is not to scare you
This is to make sense of your time
Do prophets speak in rhymes
Then you die
13. JUST SAY YOU ‘RE SORRY
It ain't funny
It ain't cute
Can't be conceit
Oh no, but things dont' work that way baby
Don’t click your heels
Don't give a hoot
Don't want a twenty-one gun salute
Never do
Tell me, tell me baby what you want
You suggested that we bury
Remember this reminder when you start to get cold
You think you'll only mind
Just wait until you're old
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Too ugly for beauty
You take what you get
To be a horseman of you
Oh, no don't you take your trust on baby
You suggested that we bury
Remember this reminder when you start to get cold
You think you'll only mind
Just wait until you're old
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Baby shakes his rattle
Because he's emptied his bowl
Don't know what he's eating
But he does what he's told
Oh yes he does
They all say the boy be crazy
You suggested that we bury
Remember this reminder when you start to get cold
You think you'll only mind
Just wait until you're old
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
14. MELLOW DOWN EASY
You jump jump here
You jump jump there
You jump jump jump everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top
You shake shake here
You shake shake there
You shake shake shake everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top
You wiggle wiggle here
You wiggle wiggle there
You wiggle wiggle wiggle everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top
