Forgotten throes at another's lie. The heart of love is their only light. Faithless greeds consolidating. Holding down sweet charity. . With western eyes.
The taste of life I can't describe. It's choking on my mind. Reaching out I can't believe. The faith it can't decide. . On and on, I carry on. But underneath my mind.
Please, could you stay a while to share my grief?. For it's such a lovely day. To have to always feel this way. And the time that I will suffer less. Is when I never have to wake.
Wise up, wise up. . She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not. Wise up sucker to what you've got.
Stayed the distance 'til the last. Soothe my hands on broken glass. Dust my coat and shake my hat. You'll know where I'm at. . I'm shot right through and wasted too.
Forever laid out I will be. Forever laid out wasted, wasted. . A little reminder on the kitchen floor. A little reminder and I'll tell you more. A little reminder up against the wall.
Glass jaw, alcohol whore. Cardboard cut out lying on the floor. Lame brain's drunk again. Stupid dumb dumb cold plumb insane. . An alcohol whore is what I was before.
Chorus. What shall we do with the drunken sailor x 2. Early in the morning. . Put him in the longboat till he's sober. Put him in the longboat till he's sober.
I can tell when I'm dead inside. I stop thinking of God. I'm living in hell. . I stop wishing, wishing. I stop wishing. Wishing you well. . I had a friend.
CHORUS:. When it goes up, disturbin' all round me. When it goes up. Do I ever cross your mind?. When it goes up, disturbin' all round me. When it goes up.
Wavelength. . Its about a gun that I dont wanna load. Its about a safe with an uncracked code. . You should let it blow. . Its about a number that I dont wanna call.
As one of the successful singles off of 'Sin', 'Where Were All Of You' may be one of the most representative songs of what Poor Old Lu's sound is like. Aggressive. Dreamy. Deep. Poppy. Something like all of that, but mixed up and jumbled around. This song is especially notable for the driving bass line and very effected vocals. In 1998, a special re-mix was made for the album 'Chrono'..
This song has always had a very emotional vibe to it, mainly because of the title, but also because of the melancholy feel. Actually, the title comes from a long running band joke. In the 80's, Marvel released a series of Spiderman comics called the "What If..." series. One of those issues was called, of course, "What If Uncle Ben Had Lived?". Over the years, when someone would start a comment with "what if...", one of us would usually fill-in the blanks, so to speak. For some reason that title just seemed to fit with this song. The result has been interesting as some have wanted to know what happened with my Uncle Ben (falling down the stairs, etc.) but, of course, I have no such uncle..
I'mma make you work for it. I'mma make you work. I'mma make you work for it. I'mma make you work. I'mma make you sweat for it. That good kinda hurt. I'mma make you work for it.
They don't mind, take our wallets. Tell us how you're gonna steal our time. (We shot the world). 'Cause you know you'll never tear us apart. (We shot the world).
In the night I look for love. Get my strength from the man above. God of piston, God of steel. God is here behind the wheel. . I'm just working for the man.
In the forest, is a monster. It has done, terrible things. So in the wood, it's hiding. And this is, the song it sings. . Who will love me now? who will ever love me?.
( with moonshake ). . We're making war, lover. We are not getting on. I will not change to keep the peace. You won't admit you're wrong. I've got a bellyful of grudges and I will not let them out.
We wanted to find love. We wanted success. Until nothing was enough. Until my middle name was "excess". . And somehow I lost touch. When you went out of sight.
Water, walking. Walking on water. Walking. Walking on. . For years and years and years. Taking it into my head. Living by the right lines. Reading what the very man said.
