Yet another example where looking up the lyrics on the net results in painfully incorrect lyrics. I’m not saying this is 100% right, but this is a hell of a lot better than what’s out there. I’ve also added a ‘æŒè©ž / Lyrics’ category now that there are a few of those on this blog. (By the way, the new Beck album is good!)
Artist: Beck
Song: Soldier Jane
Album: The Information
No one cares what dress she wears at all
Tattered rags and paper bags and all
She’s the one sleeping in the dirt
Drag her down, don’t let her drown in dirt
Lovers drag their canes across the gates
Gamblers light candles for the days
No one wake her up, she’s sleeping still
So put a candle on her window sill
Soldier Jane, don’t be afraid
Take your heart out of the shell
Take your heart out of the shell
Throw it away
Stars, they strike the darkness in the room
Knives, they take the poison from the wound
Cars, they drive us down into the ruins
We sweep our cares away with dirty brooms
Soldier Jane, don’t be afraid
Take your heart out of the shell
Take your heart out of the shell
Throw it away
Should be:
Lovers drag their canes across the gates
Thanks for the correction!
