Always one of our more popular songs. I suppose that is because it features our long-time friend, Jeremy Enigk, who also sings with Sunny Day Real Estate. Aaron, Nick, Jeremy and I played together early on, if you can call it playing! We had fun. Since this song was written to be a duet, we thought it would be great to sing with Jeremy again. And so we did. Jeremy changed the lyrics slightly on the bridge (artistic license, I suppose), but it came out rather well. He also dreamt up the great background vocals!.
VERSE 1:. don't call my name. and don't you dare to make a claim. don't you complain. and tell me every guy's the same. i'm gonna leave a white stain.
Well, I see you life and it's blowing away. Just like the storm that will toss you away. Nothing to lose and baby nothing to win. Just living my life until the very end.
Quiet lives. Look at them rest. Final days, they're getting closer. . And I try and smile on the misery. Close your eyes. try and remember.. . You got out of this place.
I teach you how to be a woman all the times. I teach you how to be a woman all the time. I lay you down and I'll eat you alive, babe. I get you high then I'll leave you behind.
I caught it in the face. Coming around again. I thought it was worth waiting. You're caught up in my head. Wet sides from time to time. But mostly I'm just dry.
Tell him I'm driving, it's alright. Turn on this wheel. Turn on headlights. A hundred different bibles by my side. In my white gown. I go flying down.
Put on that dress. I'm going out dancing. Starting off red. Gleam and sparkling he'll see me. Music play make me dreamy for dancing. Must be a way that I can dress to please him.
I lost my heart. Under the bridge. To that little girl. So much to me. And now I'm old. And now I holler. She'll never know. Just what I found. . That blue eyed girl.
( nick cave ). . When you're sad and you're lonely. And you haven't got a friend. Just remember that death is not the end. . And all that you hold sacred.
Take me over. Pale blue water. Take me under. Take me home. . Darling be there. Bring me laughter. I'll be happy. Ever more. . Bring me sunshine. Bring me love.
Daddy hold me. It seems so very dark tonight. And day. Daddy, I can't sleep. I need you to come and sing to me. That the stars up in the sky. Will shine down gently on the two of us tonight.
You never knew how much. You really meant to me. And I dont think you ever will. Coz its impossible for me. To put it into words. But the look in my eyes.
Don't give up an inch girl. If you won't take me for the mile. Don't give up an inch girl. If you won't take me for the. . Miles from home an' I'm all alone.
When I was a child staring at the tube. I saw sex, violence and death on the news. One day I saw the Duke kill someone. Daddy said don't worry boy, they're just acting son.

She'll slide you in, you taste the sin. She slowly gets inside your head. You feel her take control and she'll steal you soul. She's the devil lying in your bed.
When you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair. Talking to those rich folks that you know. Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company.
