The Smithereens - Live In Concert! Greatest Hits And More [compilation, live] (2008) by The Smithereens (보컬) on maniadb.com

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended
I was halfway paralyzed.
She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band
And she stood just like Bill Wyman
Now I am her biggest fan.
Now I know i'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.

Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town.
Called you up to have a drink,
Your roommate said you weren't around.
Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend
And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them.

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.
Behind the wall of sleep.

There's a light in the window
That tells me you're home
I've a dove that you hear
That I call my own
There's a time I remember
When I called you mine
Memories of your kisses
Much sweeter than wine

(chorus)
Maybe I won't be afraid to love somebody new
Maybe I can open up my heart
Then I won't drown in my own tears
Drown in my own tears

There's a place where we used to meet
everyday
And a time when we used to love
everyway
All that's left is the pieces
of a broken heart
And a house where nobody lives
since we're apart

(chorus)

There's a light in the window
That tells me you're home
I've a dove that you hear
That I call my own
There's a time I remember
When I called you mine
Memories of your kisses
Much sweeter than wine

(chorus)

Drown in my own tears
(fade)

I am lost somewhere I do not know
This is not the place I meant to go
And they told me before it was so
It was miles from nowhere

I was never meant to be alone
If I make it back I'll stay at home
Always told me that I should not go
I'd be miles from nowhere

Miles & miles left to go
Miles from anything we know

You took your love away from me & left me here for all to see
Never mind the feelings that you're gone and
I am miles from nowhere

miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles

Now you tell me that i should not hate
Just resign myself to such a fate
If you told me that I was too late
I was miles from nowhere

Miles & miles left to go
Miles of sky & road below

You took your love away from me & left me here for all to see
Never mind the feelings that you're gone and
I am miles from nowhere

miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles

Miles & miles left to go
Miles from anything we know

You took your love away from me & left me here for all to see
Never mind the feelings that you're gone and
I am miles from nowhere

I am lost somewhere I do not know
This is not the place I meant to go
And they told me before it was so
It was miles from nowhere

miles...miles...miles...miles
Miles from nowhere
miles...miles...miles...miles
Miles from nowhere
miles...miles...miles...miles
Miles from nowhere
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
Miles from nowhere
miles...miles...miles...miles
Miles from nowhere
miles...miles...miles...miles
Miles from nowhere
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles
miles...miles...miles...miles

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
I sit, watch the days go by
I don't need to wonder why

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
In a room without a view, without you

This room is the perfect size
And it never tells me lies
Many pleasant memories
All repeating worthlessly

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
In a room without a view, without you

here I find security, no problems here for me
This is where I want to be
And whether I like it or not, a room without a view is what
I've got

Here I find security, so please don't bother me
This is where I ought to be
And whether I like it or not
A room without a view is what I've got

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
I sit, watch the years go by
I don't need to wonder why

In a room without a view
Lots of time, nothing to do
In a room without a view, without you

My mind is filled with thoughts of you
I think about the days of two
I search the room but you're not there
Your perfume lingers everywhere
But it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory

In a world of pain I have no peer
You fade away and disappear
And now I have to learn the game
Where no one wins or takes the blame
But it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Now that we are history
Only a memory
Only a memory

But it's
Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory

Why should it matter if I cry
I sit around and wonder why
Now I feel much too weak to live
And I've got nothing left to give
Now it's

Only a memory
Of what our love was going to be
Only a memory
Broken bits of you and me
Only a memory
Only a memory
Only a memory
(Fade)

This is the house we used to live in
This is the place I used to know
This is the house we used to live in
Where I felt I could always go

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart

This is the house we used to live in
This is the place that I once knew
This is the house we used to live in
Where I once shared my life with you

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart

A house is not a home
And when you live alone you'll find
That it's much harder than
So much harder to believe

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart

Our house was not a home
And we both felt alone it seems
It is empty now
Worn and broken like our dreams

This is the house we used to live in
This is a place in our green town
This is the house we used to live in
One look before they tear it down

House that we used to live in
House where I left my heart
House that we used to live in falling apart
Falling apart

House we used, used to live in

I never think about the future
I just live for today
And if you want a ready answer
I've got nothing to say
So please don't bother talking to me
I'll just disappoint you
Because I'm quite content to sit right here
With nothing to do

Well I'm not the same guy that you used to know
I used to be the guy that had someplace to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

I never wanna find an answer 'cause
I don't like the truth
And if I find just what I'm looking for
I've something to lose
So please don't go and ask me questions
I just won't feel the same
(I'll do what you say, doesn't matter anyway)
And when I think about religion
Well, there's no one to blame
(I'll agree with you, doesn't matter what I do)

Well I'm not the singer that you used to know
I used to be the ??? fella with someplace to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

{Tell me something new, then I might agree with you
I live for today, not yesterday)


I never think about the future
I just live for today
And if you want an easy answer
I've got nothing to say
Now I'm not the singer that you used to know
I used to be the guy that had someplace to go
But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you're my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

I've been running round in circles
Trying to find my way back to you
It's been so long since I felt this way
That I forgot what I'm supposed to do

You won't break my heart
No matter what you do
My love is especially for you

I've been trying to build a bridge
To get to you for so many years
Now, it looks like it will have to be a dam
Instead to hold back the tears

You won't make me cry
My heart won't break in two
My love is especially for you

It's the same every night
When I turn off the light
And I'm hugging my pillow
Instead of you

In the morning I rise
And I tell myself lies
And pretend that I'm happy
Inspite of you

It's the same every night
When I turn off the light
And I'm hugging my pillow
Instead of you

In the morning I rise
And I tell myself lies
And pretend that I'm happy
Inspite of you

I've been running round in circles
Trying to find my way back to you
It's been so long since I felt this way
That I forgot what I'm supposed to do

You won't break my heart
No matter what you do
My love is especially for you

My love is especially for you
My love is especially for you
Ah, ah, ah

Hey! Hey!
Walk on
Hey! Hey!

Big plans, big time, everything
Downtown pawn shop
Bought us a ring
Heading for the top
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)

Two time, two-ton hangover king
The bride wore black
We were ready to swing
Too far gone to stop
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Top of the pops
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)

You told me baby you had time to kill
But then you tossed me out like an overdue bill
You left in a hurry with a guy from the band
On a one way ride to the promised land
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Walk on

You told me baby you were gone for good
But here you are
Right back in the old neighborhood
You stood in a lobby with a ticket in hand
For a one-way ride to the promised land
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)

Second-hand wedding band, throw it away
Big plans, big time, got in the way
Now we're on the top
Top of the pops

(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Top of the pops
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Walk on

Top of the pops
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Top of the pops
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Walk on
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Top of the pops
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Top of the pops
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Walk on
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Top of the pops
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Hey! Hey! Hey-ey!
(Top, top, top of the pops)
Top of the pops
(Top, top)
Top of the pops

It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say

I want to love but it comes out wrong
I want to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses

Love flowers in the springtime
October we were wed
In wintertime the roses died
The blood ran cold
And then she said

I want to love but it comes out wrong
I want to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses

It was long ago
Seems like yesterday
Saw you standing in the rain
Then I heard you say

I need your love but it comes out wrong
I try to live but I don't belong
I close my eyes and I see
Blood and roses
Blood and roses
Blood and roses
Blood and roses

I used to travel in the shadows
And I never found the nerve to try and walk up to you
But now I am a man and I know that there's no time to waste
There's too much to lose
Girl you say anything at all, and you know that you can call
And I'll be right there for you
First love, heartbreak, tough luck, big mistake
What else can you do
[Chorus]
I'll say anything you want to hear
I'll see everything through
I'll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you
People talk and people stare, tell them I don't really care
This is the place I should be
And if they think it's really strange for a girl like you
To be in love with someone like me
I want to tell them all to go to hell
That we're doing very well without them you see
That's just the way it is and they will see
I am yours and you are mine the way it should be
[Chorus]
Now if I seem a little wild, there's no holding back
I'm trying to get a message to you
I won't take anything from anyone
I won't walk and I won't run, I believe in you
London, Washington, anywhere you are I'll run
Together we'll be
Inside, outside, got my pride
I won't let him take you from me
[Chorus]
