you took your coat off and stood in the rain you were always crazy like that I watched from my window always felt I was outside looking in on you you were always the mysterious one with dark eyes and careless hair you were fashionably sensitive but too cool to care then you stood in my doorway with nothing to say besides some comment on the weather well in case you failed to notice in case you failed to see this is my heart bleeding before you this is me down on my knees these foolish games are tearing me apart your thoughtless wards are breaking my heart you're breaking my heart
you were always brilliant in the morning smoking your cigarettes talking over coffee your philosophies on art baroque moved you you loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones as I clumsily strummed my guitar you'd teach me of honest things things that were daring things that were clean things that knew what an honest dollar did mean so I hid my soiled hands behind my back somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else somebody who gave a damn somebody more like myself
these foolish games are tearing me apart your thoughtless words are breaking my heart you're breaking my heart
you took your coat off and stood in the rain you were always like that
You see the ghost of the buffalo moving both fierce and slow Like glittering prophesies on the edge of the horizon As you drive glittering highways and beaten-up byways That straddle and girdle our great and many-faced nation You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos Believing in, never seeing, the strings they think bind them So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within And in return, they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show
*Welcome to the new wild west Each man for himself A nation of civilized steeples And lonely people Welcome to the new wild west
There are so many factions and cue-card reactions It's hard to keep clear the possibilities here 'cause there's no force to unite them Privilege has ruled for thousands of years Wars have been fought with bibles and tears Yet liberation can't deny the temptation and soon becomes the oppressor Show me a leader who's fit to lead Who don't sow his seed in anything wounded enough to breed Because after all, what fun is power if you can't act like a rock star?
*Repeat
As for me, I've been petty Oh, and unkind, but I know my own mind And since it seems clear there's no one leading us here The only thing left it appears is to task ourselves to be better each time, than those before us We'll be an army of thieves, of self-freed slaves, of mild-mannered maids We'll fight with whispers and blades So get ready, a new day is dawning
I hate you I love you Leave Don't go away I can't decide if I like your face Or if I wish it would stray
You're a child but you're malicious You're sweet but don't remember my name Heads you win and tails I'm lost Love equals pain
*I am drifting without an anchor Through your ambigous region A strange continent immune to all reason And I'm flattered by your grey matter
Inside my skin, I feel your tongue It's telling me I'm dirty and licking my bones A scrape against silence; a knife against a plate Makes the sound of need on hate
*And I do not understand Why a woman can't just love a man
You're amusing, you're a real cool show With your meat hooks and barbed wire carnival You got gold dust in your pocket You got moth holes in your soul From too many false teeth amd greasy flashbulbs
Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak My pen is present but courage left via the sink And I'm sorry I snuck up on you from behind Sorry not all my love letters did rhyme And I'm sorry that Jesus died for my sins And I swear to God it won't happen again And I'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway Oh well, sometimes it be that way And Romeo was a very nice man He said, "Jewel, I don't think you quite understand" And I'm sorry if you had to explain it like this Sorry I was a point you were destined to miss And I'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently Down in the hollow by the old olive tree And I'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day Oh well, sometimes it be that way
*I said, "Oh well, I got nothing left to sell" This love was a bell that rang unheard in the air I was bound to find out that you didn't care Oh well, sometimes it be that way
And Aphrodite with her neon lamp Kissed Neptune, they put her face on a stamp And I'm sorry I used it to mail a letter to you Sorry I'm glue and the rest bounces off of you And I'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings Could get across these simple things And I'm sorry if I ever sang your name in vain Oh well, sometimes it be that way
*Repeat
Now flame licks the air with its silver tongue Night has many hands but I have just one And I'm sorry I walked in on you unexpectedly I'm sorry I never served you chamomile tea And I'm sorry I didn't always have a match That could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch And I'm sorry if it was my heart breaking that ruined your day Oh well, sometimes it be that way Oh well, sometimes it be that way
Turn to me with frozen lips Your hands are icy cold Your eyes burn bright against the frost-bit sky You never seemed more lovely than you do tonight Pale on the horizon Like leaves frozen in the snow Our two shadows merge inseparably Will time stand still if it’s pierced with cold
*The more I live The more I know What's simple is true I love you
There's a warmth in my heart It haunts me when you're gone Mend me to your side and never let go Say time knows nothing, we'll never grow cold
*Repeat
Twilight descends on our silhouette How soon spring comes How soon spring forgets I wanna hold time, say it'll never begin Old man winter be our friend Old man winter be our friend
Big wheels keep on turning Carry me home to see my kin Singing songs about the South land I miss ole 'Bamy once again, and I think it's a sin, yeah
Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her Well, I heard old Neil put her down Well, I hope Neil Young will remember A southern man don't need him around anyhow
*Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are so blue Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor, hoo hoo hoo Now we all did what we could do Now Watergate does not bother me Does your conscience bother you, tell the truth
*Repeat
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers And they've been known to pick a song or two,yes they do Lord, they get me off so much They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how about you
Sunshine came softly through my window today I could have tripped out easy but I've changed my ways. It'll take time I know it, but in a while... You're gonna be mine and I know it, we'll do it in style.
Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine I'll tell you right now... Any trick in the book, oh baby, that I can find. Everybody's hustling just to have a little scene. When I say we'll be cool, well, I think that, you know what I mean. We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when... I know a beach where baby, it never ends.
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine. I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind. Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine I'll tell you right now... Any trick in the book, oh baby, that I can find
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got, nothin' on me. I can make like a turtle and dive for pearls in the sea You can just sit there thinkin', on your velvet throne About all the rainbows you can have for your own.
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine.
I'll tell you right now... I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine. I'll pick up your hand and slowly, blow your little mind.
Sweet wonderful you You make me happy with the things you do Oh, can it be so This feeling follows me wherever I go
I never did believe in miracles But I've a feeling it's time to try I never did believe in the ways of magic But I'm beginning to wonder why
Don't, don't break the spell It would be different and you know it will You, you make loving fun And I don't have to tell you you're the only one, yeah
I never did believe in miracles But I've a feeling it's time to try I never did believe in the ways of magic But I'm beginning to wonder why
You make loving fun You make loving fun You make loving fun You make loving fun
Sweet wonderful you You know, you make me happy with the things you do Oh, can it be so This feeling follows me wherever I go
I never did believe in miracles But I've a feeling it's time to try I never did believe in the ways of magic But I'm beginning to wonder why
Oh, you know I do Oh, you make loving, make loving fun, make loving fun You make loving, make loving fun, make loving fun You make loving, make loving fun, make loving fun You make loving, make loving fun, make loving fun
쥬얼의 Pieces of you 수록곡. 꽤 히트한 곡으로
고등학생 때 대박으로 많이 들었다. 쥬얼의 목소리를 좋아하는 편은 아닌데
이 노래는 진짜 막 가슴을 쥐어뜯게 해서 쥬얼의 앨범 중 유일하게 갖고 있는 씨디.
멜로디 분명하고 클라이막스 있어주시고 그러니까ㅎㅎ
배철수의 음악캠프에서도 줄창 나왔던 곡이었고
또 박기영씨가 예전에 음...
쥬얼의 5집이 나왔다. 앨리스와의 작별이라... 심상치 않은 제목인데... 음악적인 성숙을 예고하는 전환점이 될것인가... 4집때부터 심경의 작은 물결이 예고되었다던데... 좀더 들어봐야겠다.. JEWEL - Goodbye Alice in Wonderland It's four in the afternoon I'm on a flight leaving L.A. Trying to think about my life My youth scattered al.....
