This song came once in the radio when I was working in a night shift...
more uncomfortable questionsWhy do you come here?
And why, why do you hang around?
I'm so sorry, oh, I'm so sorry
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me?
When you know, oh, why do you come?
Why do you telephone?
And why send me silly notes?
I'm so sorry, oh, I'm so sorry
Loved this song from day one..DIAMONDS ON THE SOLES OF HER SHOES
He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing Ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
People say she's crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that's one way to lose these
Walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds
And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What I'm talking about
As if everybody would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds
People say I'm crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well that's one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes
Psychedelia at its prime.
The first(and last) vinyl record LP I ever stole was The Stray Cats first album..
A candy-colored clown they call the Sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
"Go to sleep, everything is all right"
I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams
But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it, I can't help it, if I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams
I really believe there's nothing one can comment about this song...My head is spinning round, my heart is in my shoes, yeah
I went and set the thames on fire, oh, now I must
come back down
She’s laughing in her sleeve boys, I can feel it
in my bones
Oh, but anywhere I’m gonna lay my head, I’m gonna
call my home
Well I see that the world is upside-down
Seems that my pockets were filled up with gold
And now the clouds, well they’ve covered over
And the wind is blowing cold
Well I don’t need anybody, because I learned, I
learned to be alone
Well I said anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I lay my
head, boys
Well I gonna call my home
....semi-naked in somebody else's room.
I'd give my whole life to see it.
Just you,
stood there,
only in your underwear.
Hard to find more cynical or sweet lyrics than those written by Jarvis Cocker...UNDERWEAR
Why don't you shut the door,
and close the curtains,
cos you're not going anywhere.
He's coming up the stairs,
and in a moment he'll want to see your underwear.
You couldn't stop it now.
There's no way to get out.
He's standing far too near.
How the hell did you get here.
Semi-naked in somebody else's room.
I'd give my whole life to see it.
Just you,
stood there,
only in your underwear.
If fashion is your trade,
then when you're naked,
I guess you must be unemployed yeah.
Cos once it's underway,
there's no escaping,
the fact that you're a girl and he's a boy.
You couldn't stop it now.
There's no way to get out.
He's standing far too near.
How the hell did you get here.
Semi-naked in somebody else's room.
I'd give my whole life to see it.
Just you,
stood there,
only in your underwear.
If you close your eyes and just remember,
that this is what you wanted last night.
So why is it so hard for you to touch him.
For you to go and give yourself to him?
I couldn't stop it now.
There's no way to get out.
He's standing far too near.
How the hell did you get here,
semi-naked in somebody else's room.
I'd give my whole life to see it.
Just you,
stood there,
only in your underwear.
Do, do do do do. Do, do. Do, do. Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do. Do, do.
Oh yeh,
I want to see you.
Want to see you only in your underwear.
My and my good mate Luis.. went to see Lemmy's Documentary..
How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
How can I go forward when I don't know which way to turn?
How can I go forward into something that I'm not sure of?
Oh no,
Oh no,
How can I have feeling if I don't know if it's a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel,
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no,
Oh no,
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
How can I give love when I just don't know how to give?
How can I give love when love is something I aint never had?
Oh no,
Oh no,
You know life can be long,
And you have got to be so strong,
And the world is so tough sometimes I feel I have had enough,
Oh no,
Oh no,
How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?
How go forward into something we're not sure of?
Oh no,
Oh no
...
if I stood up and I walked away
Nobody here really understands me,
and so I'll wave goodbye I'm fine
and I'm fine
