Stars-The Very Thing (by XI) |
| [00:05.27] |
|
| [00:12.68] |
The bar closes early on the Sabbath day |
| [00:16.39] |
So me and my kid, we hit the park to play |
| [00:21.30] |
Then it starts to rain, so we walk home again |
| [00:25.62] |
He asks why he was born, I don't know what to say |
| [00:30.23] |
I don't feel guilty and I don't feel sad |
| [00:34.60] |
This motherfucking life is the best he's had |
| [00:38.87] |
I said "I've been there, sonny, and it ain't that bad |
| [00:43.42] |
I took my hits from the shits back when I was a lad" |
| [00:47.97] |
|
| [00:48.41] |
So long ago, and even though I tried |
| [00:51.85] |
I couldn't make him see |
| [00:54.52] |
The light that he had cast in front of me |
| [00:58.72] |
And even though I cried, I couldn't make him be |
| [01:03.65] |
The very thing I needed |
| [01:07.15] |
|
| [01:10.01] |
His mother would make a scene when I come home late |
| [01:13.88] |
She looks like she's dying and she's twenty-eight |
| [01:18.09] |
I never loved that whore, I never will no more |
| [01:22.94] |
Except for a month back in '84 |
| [01:27.90] |
The jammin' was playing and my heart stood still |
| [01:32.45] |
Gazing at her shadow on the windowsill |
| [01:36.30] |
|
| [01:36.95] |
So long ago, and even though I tried |
| [01:40.52] |
I couldn't make her see |
| [01:43.11] |
I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be |
| [01:47.26] |
And even though I cried, I couldn't make her be |
| [01:52.09] |
The very thing I needed |
| [01:55.67] |
|
| [01:57.05] |
And even though I tried |
| [01:58.96] |
I couldn't make her see |
| [02:01.51] |
I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be |
| [02:05.34] |
And even though I cried, I couldn't make her be |
| [02:10.28] |
The very thing I needed |
| [02:14.59] |
|
| [02:19.32] |
Could she be the very thing I needed? |
| [02:26.15] |
Could she be the very thing? |
| [02:29.30] |
|
| [02:32.98] |
Push yourself away from your one best friend |
| [02:41.99] |
Who's gonna love you when you reach the end? |
| [02:50.85] |
Who will? |
| [02:55.30] |
Who will? |
| [03:00.00] |
Who will? |
