The Jesus And Mary Chain - Shimmer

The look behind your eyes
Conceals a thin disguise
If pleasure is my prize
There's pain in paradise
She makes the rivers flow
She looks into my soul
Destruction sets us free
From this forbidden tree
So I don't care
Don't say that I don't care
But you just made me aware
I don't care
Heaven's open gate the Devil's silver eyes
A look that seals my fate
Destruction is my prize

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Silverblade

talking 'bout the things i lack

choke me up with what i say

shouting out for something

standing up for nothing

she's looking down but i just couldn't wait

looks real tough when she talks that stuff

and cries for another day

looks real mean when she hits that scene

cries like a silver queen

aah help me

aah tell me

aah kill me

she can't come

she's got to get you some

my world has been undone

and laugh at words gone wrong

our love has been and gone

aah

and i know just what i'm searching for

in a world that's turned from me to her

and it's coming to me anyway

and it's coming from a silverblade

from a silverblade

from a silverblade

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Subway

Some kind of people don't understand

I've got to turn to the sun

I've got the upper hand

When the world turns around

It turns it turns for you

I guess a whole lotta loving

Don't mean a thing

You gotta stand other people

Don't shout and sing

And when the fight comes to run

It runs and runs for you

I guess that all that I can say

Is just I've gotta have my way

And there's nothing that you can't see through

And there's nothing left for me to do

Funny it's true

I've gotta get get you

And the world it turns

And the fire burns and burns

And all the sickest people die in the flames

And all the twist and turns

And all the twisted suns

And when the fire burns it burns for you

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Rocket

Rise to my frustration - pouring rain

And feeling so impatient 'cause I can't explain

The things inside of me that shot right through my brain

I'm like a patient always standing in the rain

I got a golden ticket that I'm gonna ride

I'm gonna ride it like a rocket shooting in the sky

It's gonna take me out of all this black and white - it's insane

I'm going shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight

Shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight, alright

Riding like an engine on a rollercoast

Trying to slow it down, gotta get control

There's nothing left to say but I don't know

I'm always thinking but I just don't know

She sold me golden ticket that I gotta ride

It's gonna shoot me like a rocket in the cold cold sky

She wants to take me out of all this black and white

I'm going shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight

Shooting on my rocket in the rain tonight, alright

Back with my frustration - pouring rain

And feeling so impatient, nothing's changed

I got a feeling like my soul's been washed away

I'm like a patient always standing in the rain

I got a golden ticket that I'm gonna ride

I'm gonna ride it like a rocket shooting in the sky

It's gonna take me out of all this black and white - it's a game

I'm going shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight

Shooting on my rocket in the rain tonight

Shooting on my rocket through the pain tonight, alright

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Swing

I wish that you and me would be
Inside of a rubber dream
I wish we'd walk and I wish we'd swing
Down to the sunshine thing
I got you and I want my head
I look like I come in death
I don't doubt your word
I don't doubt your word
And it had to be inside my rubber holy dream
It means, it's good.
And it seems that I should go on
Back to where I've been it seems I've gone
I wish I'd seen it all
Inside my covered hole
I think I seen my head
I think I seen my head
I wish I'd seen the time
I wish I could walk in time
I'm making sense in my own way
And I dragged you all the way

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Hide Myself

What if I die
Would you even cry
God knows it's true
I didn't understand you

I've been trying to hide myself from you
I've been trying to run and hide from you

Got no reason to go
Got no reason to stay

Got no reason to go
Got no reason to stay

God knows it's true
God knows it's over

God knows it's true
God knows it's over

God knows it's true
God knows it's over

Got news for you
You didn't understand me

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Sometimes

Kid's got something keeps it well hid
One of these days I'm gonna shake off the lid
Dig beneath the dirt maybe scrape beneath the skin
It's getting so bad I think I'd die to get in her
Sometimes you just can't get enough
I got the feeling that I've been here before
I'm on my knees and I'm kissing the floor
I got the feeling that I've crashed in a car
I got the feeling aw babe you're a star
And you understand
Sometimes you just can't get enough

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Upside Down

We're moving 'round and 'round
Can't hear a single sound
And when I hit the ground
I heard a ringing sound
Uh-huh-huh
I heard a ringing sound
And my head hit the ground
Uh-huh-huh
Inside I'm upside down

You live with so much carelessness
'Cause no one takes you serious
That makes you feel so dangerous
You wish you never was
But you can't see

And if you feel there's no one else
That you're all alone, you're by yourself
Your life is like a broken shell
It doesn't really matter to me
Doesn't matter to me
Doesn't matter to me
Knowing you can't see

Inside I feel so bad
So low I feel so sad
Feels like I'm going mad
Best friend I've ever had
Uh-huh-huh
Feels like I'm going mad
Best friend I've ever had
Uh-huh-huh
So low I feel so sad

You live with so much carelessness
'Cause no one takes you serious
And now you think you're dangerous
You never was but you can't see
And if you feel there's no one else
You're all alone and by yourself
Your life is like a broken shell
It doesn't really matter to me
Doesn't matter to me
Doesn't matter to me
Knowing you can't see

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Surfin' USA

If everybody had an ocean
Across the USA
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals too
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' USA

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Texas County line
Take a trip to the Ocean
You can feel real fine
All over Manhattan
It's the only way

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' USA

We'll all be planning that route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait till June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on safari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' USA

Surf, baby, surf
Surf that USA
All the way to the USA
Surfin' USA

(originally recorded by The Beach Boys)

The Jesus And Mary Chain - My Girl

I got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May

I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way
My girl (my girl)
Talking 'bout (my girl) my girl

I've got so much honey the bees they envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees

Well, I guess you'll say
What could make me feel this way
My girl (my girl)
I'm talking 'bout (my girl) my girl

A hey, hey, hey
A hey, hey, hey

I don't need no money, fortune, or fame
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim

I guess you'll say
What could make me feel this way
My girl (my girl)
I'm talking 'bout (my girl) my girl

I got sunshine on a cloudy day
I even got the month of May, hey
I got, I got what she
A hey hey hey
Talking 'bout my girl

(originally recorded by The Temptations)

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Taste Of Cindy [Acoustic Version]

Crack of dawn
Cindy's movin' on
Talking Cindy to everyone
Until she's had her fun

She has me
We twist the sun and sea
Still she's talking to everyone
Cindy's had her fun

Though I've heard it before
Still I need you more and more
But I just can't get away
Cindy kills me every day

And I tried and I tried
But you looked right through me
Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
Knife in my head when I think of Cindy
Knife in my head is the taste of Cindy

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Rollercoaster

Why, keep in touch with my crimes
'Cause I left it far behind
Out of sight and out of mind
Down the gutter in the drain
Back to wherever they came
Don't put me down
I don't think that I don't know
Sometimes I feel nothing's good it's all gone wrong

You got respect for my mind
For I've connections too sublime
Look for something hard to find
Easy streets are not for me
When I drown I drown in sea
Don't put me down
I don't think that I don't want
Sometimes I feel nothing's good it's all gone wrong

Can you see her now?
Have you seen her now?
She goes down
She goes down
I can't see
What I can't see
Have you seen her now?
Have you seen her?

The Jesus And Mary Chain - 33 1/3

Got no direction
No resurrection
Got no religion
No space to live in
This institution
Filled with pollution
Got no evolution
I got no solution

Well baby I get high
If you help me to get by
Baby I'm insane
I crucify my brain

Too much deceiving
Nothing to believe in
I get no reaction
And no satisfaction

No satisfaction

Don't need love
Don't need drugs
I don't need jesus
Don't need anybody

Don't need any body
But myself

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Drop

The way you drop is like a stone
Making out you're flying
But you've just been thrown

Till kingdom comes
And through bitten tongues
These eyes get stung
With every curse that's sung

These twisted times
Can't compare to mine
And heaven knows where loving goes

I should have guessed
When I took that pill
Do I love her still
Well did Jesus kill

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Happy When It Rains

Step back and watch the sweet thing
Breaking everything she sees
She can take my darkest feeling
Tear it up till I'm on me knees
Plug into her electric cool
Where things bend and break
And shake to the rule
Talking fast couldn't tell me something
I would shed my skin for you
Talking fast on the edge of nothing
I would break my back for you
Don't know why, don't know why
Things vaporize and rise to the sky
And we tried so hard
And we looked so good
And we lived our lives in black
But something about you felt like pain
You were my sunny day rain
You were the clouds in the sky
You were the darkest sky
But your lips spoke gold and honey
That's why I'm happy when it rains
I'm happy when it pours
Looking at me enjoying something
That feels like feels like pain
To my brain
And if I tell you something
You take me back to nothing
I'm on the edge of something
You take me back
And I'm happy when it rains

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Ghost Of A Smile

You gotta walk that mile honeychild
You gotta walk that mile honeychild
Well I'll show you what is hip
As we walk down leeson strip
And I'll do it for the ghost of a smile

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

You can't take it with you when you go
You can't take it with you when you go
You gotta walk, walk that mile
And i'll be with you honeychild
And i'll do it for the ghost of a smile

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

Don't wait too long
Don't wait too long
Don't wait too long
Or I'll be gone

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Ghost of a smile
Ghost of a smile
Ghost of a smile

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Terminal Beach

Tell me something I don't know
Cause I don't know why all that goes for
Tell me something I can touch
Cause what I've got's not much to show for
Pain is pride and pride's alright to me
And the time is right for this world to be free

And I know when I had that day
And I know what I just can't say
And I know when my heart beats life
And I know when I talk I talk it all
When I talk I talk it all
When I talk I talk it all

(Yeah I talk that talk)
(When my heart beats fast)

And I know
Yeah I know
Yeah I know
And I found
And I found
And I found
And I found

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Everything's Alright When You're Down

Some kind a strange kind of feelings coming over me
I bled from the back to the front for the world to see

You gotta run
You gotta stay
Cause I'll be screaming to have had my way
I got my head in the gutter
and it looks as if it's gonna stay

I, just can't take it
I, don't you say it
I, I can't take it, oh

I, fuck me down now
I, run me down now
I, run around now, oh

I now have hit the ground
And just look at what I found
Everything is alright when you're down, hey hey

Strange as it can seem
Like livin' in a scream
Everything is alright when you're down, hey hey

Everything I say is going wrong
