The Jesus And Mary Chain - Moe Tucker

You know I think it's time you gave the girl a chance

You know she don't need love and she don't need no romance

You've got to walk before you run

You've got to live for number one

Don't get up for her 'cause you're going down

And if you make a deal you know she's got to have her say

And if you make a deal you know it's got to be her way

We're all fucked up but it don't show

Tell me something I don't know

Uh huh

You know I think it's time you gave the girl a line

You know she don't know how but she knows it'll work out fine

She's gonna walk before you walk

She's gonna shout before you talk

Give her one good reason why she should hang around

Ahuh

And if you make a deal you know she's got to have her say

And if you make a deal you know it's got to be her way

You're all fucked up but it don't show

Tell me something I don't know

Ahuh

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

It ain't free so

It ain't easy, yeah

The Jesus and Mary Chain - All Things Must Pass

Each day I wake

It's gonna be my last

I hope it's gonna pass

Each drug I take

I hope I don't fry

To prove myself

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Half Way to Crazy

Crazy I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide could save me
Oh is that much too extreme
It's such a sad and sorry scene

Lovers tongue tied
And tied to the tongue
Making deals going bad by the dawn
Every dog must have it's day
And then it's got to pay and pay

That's me being torn at the seams
Going mad in the middle of a dream
Catch me getting it wrong from the start
Catch me 'cause I'm falling apart

Crazy I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Come On

We've got nothing but that's alright
Nothing could be something if the feelings right
Holding onto something doesn't make it mine
Got to get to heaven but we don't have time

So come on

Bright light city set my soul on fire
Couldn't get me worried couldn't get me higher
Scream for me baby 'cause I'm going down
Got to get to heaven when the sun goes down

So come on

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Blues From A Gun

I don't care about the state of my hair
I got something out of nothing
That just wasn't there
And your kiss kiss kiss
Is never gonna blow me away

Dreams of escape keep me awake
I'm never gonna get out and make it away
I'm a stone dead tripper
Dying in a fantasy

Like a cracked open sky it helps you to die
Don't split it scrape it
You're screaming automatic pain

Too young kid you're gonna get hit
Looks like your never gonna make it
Off the government list

I don't mind about the state of my mind
But you know it's good for nothing
And I left you behind
It's a sick sick city
But it's never gonna make me insane

If you're talking for real
Then go cut a deal
You're facing up to living out
The way that you feel
And you shake shake shake
'Cause you know you'll never make it away

Well I guess that's why I've always
Got the blues

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

Upside down
Upside down
Upside down
Upside down
Upside down
Upside down
Upside down
Upside down
Upside down
Upside down

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 - 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 - Some Candy Talking

I'm going down to the place tonight
To see if I can get a taste tonight
A taste of something warm and sweet
That shivers your bones and rises to your heat

I'm going down to the place tonight
The damp and hungry place tonight
Should all the stars shine in the sky
They couldn't outshine your sparkling eyes
But it's so hard to be the one
To touch and tease and to do it all for fun
But it's too much for a young heart to take
Cause hearts are the easiest things you could break

And I talk to the filth and I walk to the door
I'm knee deep in myself
But I want to get more of that stuff
Of that stuff

Some candy talking
Talk

And I want
And I want
Some candy talking

Some candy talk

I love the way she's walking
I love the way she's talking
It's just the way she's walking
It's just the way she's talking

And I need
All that stuff
Give me some
Of that stuff
I want your candy.
I want your candy
And I need
Give me some
Of your stuff
Give me some
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want stuff

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Black

And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black

Turn the good thing back
Kiss the good thing back
Make the good thing back
Be the good thing back

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong
Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong

And the black runs deep
Yeah the black runs deep
I guess the black runs deep
I think the black runs deep

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine

Hey you've been saved
Hey you've been saved

And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black

And I guess I can
And I guess I can
Yeah I guess I can
Think I guess I can

Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Something I Can't Have

You're in my house you're in my face
You made me hate the human race
I got it good I got it strong
I got it down where it belongs
Aw it's sick and oh it's sad
I think you're something I can't have
Penetrate the happy place you got me crawling on my face
Come fly with me come lie with me come die with me
And we could kiss with tongues
I've got no place to go you've got no place to go
Aw it's sick and oh it's sad
I think you're something I can't have
To my head you're going to my head
All the things you said
All the things you swore
Are going to my head

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Almost Gold

You take me here from far
Up to the highest star
You took a part of me
No one else will ever see
And if I gave away
What I'm dying to say
I couldn't give you more than this
I was born and it was bliss
I have died for a thousand years
Tasted salt of a thousand tears
And your kiss was almost gold

You took me near you took me far,
Up to the highest brightest star
You're giving back the exchange,
We got something going on
And if I ever fell from grace
With every living human state
Well I throw the whole thing down
And I take to higher ground
Cast a spell on my surround
Time to think on what I found
This is almost gold

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Between Planets

Suicide standing sucking in her cheeks
Too much lips and too much eyes
Hasn't slept for weeks
She don't know just where it goes

Jackie T said she saw death
She's done it fifty ways
But she's been off that medicine
For almost fifteen days
She don't know just where it goes

So turn around and run back where you're from
You can't get on
Don't shake those hips don't bite those lips
Just keep it hid

Come on now you gave it away
And all the friends you had got paid
Come on now you were never that shy
And that's no way for you to say bye bye

Baby you drive me crazy
Don't come around here no more

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Psycho Candy

The wind is screaming around the trees for my Psychocandy
The world is spreading a strange disease for my
Psychocandy
Candy is the baddest seed
She'll take you down and make you eat
Her fish
Her poison fish
Is on her dish

Candy cannot hear or see
She's in the place she needs to be
She'll take the point to a sharpened blade
And give you something warm to taste

And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
(Psychocandy)
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
(Psychocandy)
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
(Psychocandy)
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
(She's my Psychocandy)
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
(She's my Psychocandy)
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
(Psychocandy)
And the world is turning 'round
And on and on and on
(Psycho)

The Jesus And Mary Chain - You Trip Me Up

Sometimes
I walk sideways
To avoid you
When I've annoyed you

Love's like
The mighty ocean
When it's frozen
That is your heart

What would I be
If I could be free
I couldn't even walk
You trip me up

But you break me in two
And you throw me away
And you spit in my cup
You trip me up

And you break me in two
And you throw me away
Knock me on my back
I'll send a heart attack

I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip
I'd like to trip
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Nine Million Rainy Days

Nine million rainy days
Have swept across my eyes
Thinking of you
And this room becomes a shrine
Thinking of you
And the way you are
Sends the shivers to my head
You're going to fall
You're going to fall down dead

As far as I can tell
I'm being dragged from here to hell
And all my time in hell
Is spent with you

I have ached for you
I have nothing left to give
For you to take
I have no more empty heart
Or limbs to break
And the way you are
Sends the shivers to my head
You're going to fall down dead
As far as I can see
There is nothing left of me
And all my time in hell
Was spent with you
You're going to fall
You're going to fall down dead

As far as I can tell
I'm being dragged from here to hell
And all my time in hell
Was spent with you

The Jesus And Mary Chain - April Skies

Hey honey what you trying to say
As I stand here
Don't you walk away
And the world comes tumbling down

Hand in hand in a violent life
Making love on the edge of a knife
And the world comes tumbling down

And it's hard
For me to say
And it's hard
For me to stay
I'm going down
To be by myself
I'm going back
For the good of my health
And there's one thing
I couldn't do
Sacrifice myself to you
Sacrifice

Baby baby I just can't see
Just what you mean to me
I take my aim and I fake my words
I'm just your long time curse
And if you walk away
I can't take it

But that's the way that you are
And that's the things that you say
But now you've gone too far
With all the things you say

Get back to where you come from
I can't help it
Under the april skies
Under the april sun

Sun grows cold
Sky gets black
And you broke me up
And now you won't come back
Shaking hand, life is dead
And a broken heart
And a screaming head
Under the april sky

The Jesus And Mary Chain - The Perfect Crime

We fell in love you liked the look in my eye
Hand in hand we reach for the sky
But I was easy baby
Yeah I was easy baby
And you told me so long
You never ever wanna see me baby

I lost control I got a hold of a knife
I took a hold then I ended your life
But it was easy baby
Yeah it was easy baby
I told you so long
I'm never ever gonna see you baby

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Tower Of Song

Well my friends are gone, my hair is grey
And I ache in all the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day in the tower of song

I said to Hank Williams, "how lonely does it get?"
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A one hundred floors above me in the, in the tower of song

Come on

I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty seven angels from the great beyond
They tied me to this table right here in the tower of song

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry baby doesn't look like me at all
And I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
They don't let a woman kill you, not in the tower of song

Come on

Now you can say that I've grown bitter, hut of this you maybe sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I maybe wrong
You see I hear these funny voices in the tower of song

Now I bid you farewell I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me baby long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from my window in the tower of song

Come on

(originally recorded by Leonard Cohen)
