Jeff Buckley - So Real: Songs From Jeff Buckley [compilation] (2007) by Jeff Buckley (보컬) on maniadb.com

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over

Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know


This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all


Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
Oh, You know it makes me so angry
'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye


Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know


Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it's over~
It's over ~~

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you'll never know

I'm broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it

Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away
When he feels like he should be having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no one

So I'll wait for you, love
And I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh, will I ever learn?
Oh, lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I've slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Oh, but maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh, lover, you should've come over

Yes, I feel too young to hold on
And much to old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb and blind to see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over

Oh, love, well I've waited for you

Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

While this town is busy sleeping
All the noise died away
I walk the streets to stop my weeping
But she'll never change her ways

Don't fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
My heart feels so still
As I try to find the will to forget her somehow
Oh I think I've forgotten her now

Her love is a rose pale and dying
Dropping her petals in pain unknown
All full of wine the world before her
But sober with no place to go

Don't fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her somehow
She's somewhere out there now

Oh my tears fall down as I tried to forget
Her love was a joke from the day that we met
All of the words, All of her men
All of my pain when I think back to when
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun
It was on the bed that I knew what she'd done
Tell yourself over and over you wont ever need her again

Don't fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
Oh my heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her somehow
She's out there somewhere now

Oh
She was heartache from the day that i first met her
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget you somehow
'Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now

Eternal life is now on my trail
Got my red glitter coffin man, just need one last nail...
While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names

(chorus):
And as your fantasies are broken in two
Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you?
You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel

Racist everyman, what have you done?
Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son
Crown my fear your king, at the point of a gun
All I wanna do is love everyone

(chorus)

There's no time for hatred, only questions
What is love?
Where is happiness?
What is a life?
Where is peace?
When will I find the strength to bring me relief?

Tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
Man it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
Well I've got a message for you and your twisted hope
You'd better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal, angel

there is a child sleeping near his twin
the pictures go wild in a rush of wind
that dark angel he is shuffling in
watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

the love you lost with her skin so fair
is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
her green eyes bloom goodbyes
with her head in her hands and your kiss on the lips of another
dream brother
with your tears scattered round the world.

don′t be like the one who made me so old
don′t belie the one who left behind his name
′cause they′re waiting for you like i waited for mine
and nobody ever came

i feel afraid and i call your name
i love your voice and your dance insane
i hear your words and i know your pain
your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
your eyes to the ground
and the world spinning round forever

asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

Circle around the park, joining hands in silence
Watch the evil black the sky
The storm has ripped the shelter of illusion from our brow
This power is no mystery to us now
Leave your spirit genocide, the cancer you won't remove
We cast our funeral rose inside and bury the need to prove
Our mutilation is to gain from the system
Turn your head away from the screen, oh people
It will tell you nothing more
don't suck the milk of flaccid Bill K. Public's empty promise
To the people that the public can ignore
This way of life is so devised to snuff out the mind that moves
Moving with grace the men despise, and women have learned to lose
Throw off your shame or be a slave of the system
I see you take another drag
One more lost soul to raise your flag
The sky is a landfill
I see you take another drag
Let's see you take another drag
you like to dance to the rolling head of the adulteress
You sing in praise of suicide
We know you're useless
Like cops at the scene of crime
With your steroids and your feedbag and your stable and your trainer
I got a mail bomb for you, Mr. Strong Arm
Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes
for the violence of a nation gone by
or the politics of weakness and the garbage dump of souls
That will now black the sky
Their yellow haze and crowds of eyes will plug up the mind that moves
Moving with grace the men despise, and women have learned to lose
We'll share our bodies in disdain for the system
I see you take another drag
one nation bends to kiss the hag
The sky is a landfill
I see you take another drag
I see you take another drag
I have no fear of this machine

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me

I'm only here for this moment

I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away

Hmm, such a thing of wonder in this crowd
I'm a stranger in this town
You're free with me
And our eyes locked in downcast love
I sit here proud
Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me

Oh, I'm only here for this moment

I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away

I know the tears we cried
Have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There's nothing in our way
My love

Don't you see, don't you see?
You're just the torch to put the flame to all our guilt and shame
And I'll rise like an ember in your name

I know I, I know I
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
Oh let me show you
That love can rise, rise just like embers

Love can taste like the wine of the ages, oh babe,
And I know they all looks so good from a distance
But I tell you I'm the one

I know everybody here, well, thinks he needs you
Think he needs you
And I'll be waiting right here just to show you

Love~ let me sleep tonight on your couch
And remember the smell of the fabric
of your simple city dress

Oh that was so real ~
Oh that was so real ~
Oh that was so real ~

We walked around 'til the moon got full like a plate
The wind blew an invocation
And I fell asleep at the gate
And I never stepped on the cracks
cause I thought I'd hurt my mother
And I couldn't awake from the nightmare
That sucked me in and pulled me under
Pulled me under

Oh that was so real ~
Oh that was so real ~
Oh that was so real ~

I love you
But I'm afraid to love you

I love you
But I'm afraid to love you

Oh that was so real ~
Oh that was so real ~
Oh that was so~ real ~~

Well i′m lying in my bed
The blanket is warm
This body will never be safe from harm
Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin to keep me whole

If only you′d come back to me
If you laid at my side
I wouldn′t need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied

Don′t wanna weep for you, I don′t wanna know
I′m blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so

Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster′s flesh
Drop down we two to serve and pray to love
Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven
Ageless, ageless
I′m there in your arms

Don′t wanna weep for you, I don′t wanna know
I′m blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
So, so...

The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more
Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
Well it′s you I′ve waited my life to see
It′s you I′ve searched so hard for...

Don′t wanna weep for you, I don′t wanna know
I′m blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
So, black black black black beauty...

lady, all the troubles are my fright, i disgust you.
feel the power. you cut the truth into you.
why? did you think i did not on this rely?
i could kiss you, with lines of escape in my mouth.

please let me bring back these gifts of mine to the woman.
stars shined on my back as I slept and knew you.

you didn't leave it all.
you made an even call.
my belly released the stars and tears between the scars.
ooooh.

below this we'll end here until the end of time
beyond the moment that ends our bondage
i am your failed husband contender,
i'm your loan shark of bliss.

this dream you've ridden on turns your world to explosions
i need to be alone to heal this bleeding stone.
now, smell the rain of london, it still insists
that we beg for our purity
as if we are pure in the reign of our contentment
as if i can think of this no more.

I used to know a little square
So long ago, when I was small
All summer long it had a fair
Wonderful fair with swings and all
I used to love my little fair
And at the close of everyday

I could be found, dancing around
A merry-go-round that used to play

'Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux'

All summer long my little fair
Made everyday like a holiday
Night after night it used to play
And people came there from so far away
And everyone sang that little tune
All around town you heard it played

Even Pepi from Napoli
He sang to Marie
This serenade

'Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux'

All summer long my little fair
Made everyday like a holiday
Night after night it used to play
And people came there from so far away
And everyone sang that little tune
All around town you heard it played

Even Pepi from Napoli
He sang to Marie
This serenade

'Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux'

I can't forget my little square
Even though I'm so far away
I can't forget my little fair
Maybe it's still there, still there today
I sometimes hear that little tune
playing in a dream of long ago

And in my brain runs the refrain
That old French refrain I used to know

'Ah, mon amour
A toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux
Rien que nous deux'

There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it's my time coming,
I'm not afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
but she cries to the clicking of time
Oh, time,
Wait in the fire...
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love...
And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave behind...
Wait in the fire
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow

i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don′t really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah...

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

baby i′ve been here before
i′ve seen this room and i′ve walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i′ve seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it′s a cold and it′s a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know
what′s really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there′s a god above
but all i′ve ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it′s not a cry that you hear at night
it′s not somebody who′s seen the light
it′s a cold and it′s a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

(Morrissey/J.Marr)
Originally performed by The Smiths. Jeff performed it several times, usually in medley with Hallelujah or with Kangaroo.
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough said
I know it's over still I cling, I don't know where else I can go
Over and over.....
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit (cut) me
Do you think you can help me
Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room
Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you
More than she loves you - and I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go - over and over.....
I know it's over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real
And she even spoke to me and said
"If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?"
"And if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?"
"And if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?"
"And if you're so very good looking, then why do you sleep alone tonight?"
I know - 'cos tonight is just like any other night - that's why you're on
your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms - while they're in each other's arms
It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate it takes strength to be gentle
and kind - over and over....
It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate it takes guts to be gentle and
kind - over and over....
Love is natural and real - but not for you my love not tonight my love
Love is natural and real - but not for such as you and I my love
Oh mother... etc.
