Well I'm going to the house upon the hill , the place where they give you pills. The rooms are always chilled, they're never cosy. Where they give three suits a year and at Christmas time a bottle of beer.
My baby's a hot potato. . This song's about a girl called a hot potato. She couldn't learn to dance, so, I had to make her. And I call her my hot potato.
I know these hills. I know these hills. I know the tales of the sacred ground. Where they'll lay my body down. I know these hills. Stone in the Earth.
Well, God bless the bride, the sun shines on today. I said, God bless the bride, the sun shines on today. Well, God bless her roses and God bless her veil.
I'm honest if I think I say, baby. That I wouldn't lie for a day, no. Oh, if I had, baby, if I had your money. I don't believe I would steal, no no. .
I'm the man in your garden. I'm the man who grows the fruit. Come along with me, baby. Pick a fruit that suits. . I've got some apples. I've got some pears.
The wind it blows. this time of year. Chills my soul. and all my tears. and I don't know. how we got here. my friend. wars may end. but memories kill.
Flowering cherry, roses bloom. Sunlight streaming into my room, Lord. Winter's waning, summer's new. I love my baby, yes it's true. . You know I'll always love you.
I can remember the places I stayed. Things that I did, the ways I behaved. The women I loved, the words that I said. Like a dream passing through. . Causes I had, the corners I turned.
First time I saw your face. Oh, what a lovely face. What a face and what a smile. For me, yeah, yeah, yeah. . A wonderland of light and blue. Oh baby, when I met you.
Fetch me my woman, hey. I just want her near me now. Don't want any, any, anybody else. I just want her near me now. . Fetch me my woman. Want her right by my side, yes, I do, yes, I do.
Don't have no penthouse in Dallas. No beach house in Malibu. Guess I'm not livin' the good life. Like we're all supposed to do. . All I got's a little trailer.
See the sand and the white birds swooping low. I see the sea and the dead fish floating by. I see the grass as it's growing up my door. And hear my dog as he's crying for his bone.
I got two little kids in a broke down car. On the side of the road, in view of the Texaco star. I spent all of my money on water and food. I got a Willie on the radio, he's singing those country blues.
You're always on your own, sitting on those seaside chairs on your own , everybody there just passes you by. Nobody seems to care if you flash your underwear , no, I don't tell no lie.
Cheat me, cheat me. Baby, cheat me, cheat me. No you won't cheat me. 'Cause I'm gonna cheat myself. . Kiss me, baby, kiss me. Kiss me, baby, kiss me. No, you won't kiss me.
Round here everybody knows. When you walk into the room.. Let's be careful where you sit. It is the thud you choose. That's the way it is.. . Round here everybody sees.
At night I see a great big tree. An icy waterfall on me. Oh I blame it on the night. Yes I blame it on the night. Well I blame it on the night. The Virgin Mary by my bed.
I want to take a trip to Araby. I want to take a trip to Araby. I want to see the sun descend on a maiden's knees. . I want to ride in a great bronze butterfly.
Smoke screens, day dreams all over you. Blindfolds, crossroads, untold truths. Soft white satin, laying in the dirt. Of all the people in this world, why was it you I hurt?.
