Elliot Smith - True Love

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wzDLUXN6hAM True love is a rose Behind glass That's locked and kept closed Maybe just to me My heart's been attacked Shattered by tough love, bad love I bought mine off the street True love, man, it just can't be beat I felt so complete Married to heavenly bodies above And each night I look up At a bright honeymoon Because it sure seemed built to last Even after my honeymoon past I kept right on at midnight Like a ghost To the house it once haunted And day after day I'd steal with my true love away To some hideout we left undisturbed We could do what we wanted But I started to feel like a liar Saying I love you She was madly in love or mad at me There was no in-between It raised my alarm I found I can't make a stand I'm her hired hand I have to do harm One day I got sick She played me a nasty old trick Said, "I need cigarettes" Walked around the block Caught a cab Stayed gone for too long My love had gotten too strong Just to try being back on my own I had to go to rehab All I need is a safe place to bleed Is this where it's at? Half of no chance Steps in a dance Rest of my life spent in combat Now I'm the king of the ward Because I'm good and I swallow my sword Puke it up for the doctor to write me A new prescription Tranquil as a dove People that have lost their true love That all seem to fit the same description I feel cold, useless and old I Wish I was no one Take me home, my love Take me home today Take me out of this place Take me home with you today

when you looked into my eyes I was dreaming of suicide, when your lips fell on mine I was counting all our friends who've died. now tell me you're mine. hold me trembling through the aching night. when you looked in my eyes for the first time I thought I had died.

all the blood in my heart makes me weak in my knees

Coming home with a bottle, trying not to break the seal. This Friday evening traffic's about enough to break a man's will. And I can't wait to see you and see how your week has gone, and tear into Old No.7 and make love till dawn. But your Mama she'll be calling, if she ain't knocking on the door. And it won't take me long to remember what I brought that bottle home for. And we'll all get to fighting, just like we always do. And by Saturday morning, I'll be singing these blues. Last night I slept with my boots on again, one cut on my forehead and one my chin, on the hard old floor with nothin to cover up with. You got me real good, girl, and I must admit, you pack purty mean punch for such a pretty little dish. And it's a shame to know most folks don't ever know love like this. Come Monday morning, I'll be sore to a fare-thee-well. Cussin' God and America, wishing them both just to send me off to hell. But the boss man don't want no excuses when it comes time to get on the clock. And without that paycheck, I'd lose the rest of what sweet love I got. Last night I slept with my boots on again, one cut on my forehead and one my chin, on the hard old floor with nothin to cover up with. You got me real good, girl, and I must admit, you pack purty mean punch for such a pretty little dish. And it's a shame to know most folks don't ever know love like this.

City girls just seem to find out early How to open doors with just a smile A rich old man And she won't have to worry She'll dress up all in lace and go in style Late at night a big old house gets lonely I guess every form of refuge has its price And it breaks her heart to think her love is only Given to a man with hands as cold as ice So she tells him she must go out for the evening To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin' She is headed for the cheatin' side of town You can't hide your lyin' eyes And your smile is a thin disguise I thought by now you'd realize There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes On the other side of town a boy is waiting With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal She drives on through the night anticipating 'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel She rushes to his arms; they fall together She whispers that it's only for awhile She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever She pulls away and leaves him with a smile You can't hide your lyin' eyes And your smile is a thin disguise I thought by now you'd realize There ain't now way to hide your lyin' eyes She gets up and pours herself a strong one, And stares out at the stars up in the sky. Another night, it's gonna be a long one. She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry. She wonders how it ever got this crazy. She thinks about a boy she knew in school. Did she get tired or did she just get lazy? She's so far gone she feels just like a fool. My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things. You set it up so well, so carefully. Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things? You're still the same old girl you used to be. You can't hide your lyin' eyes And your smile is a thin disguise I thought by now you'd realize There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes

Times are hard You're afraid to pay the fee So you find yourself somebody Who can do the job for free When you need a bit of lovin' 'Cause your man is out of town That's the time you get me runnin' And you know I'll be around I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah Light the candle Put the lock upon the door You have sent the maid home early Like a thousand times before Like the castle in its corner In a medieval game I foresee terrible trouble And I stay here just the same I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah

Sunrise doesn't last all morning A cloudburst doesn't last all day Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning It's not always going to be this grey All things must pass All things must pass away Sunset doesn't last all evening A mind can blow those clouds away After all this, my love is up and must be leaving It's not always going to be this grey All things must pass All things must pass away All things must pass None of life's strings can last So, I must be on my way And face another day Now the darkness only stays the night-time In the morning it will fade away Daylight is good at arriving at the right time It's not always going to be this grey All things must pass All things must pass away All things must pass All things must pass away

his love wasn't made for someone like me I never deserved and ounce of what he had I fell into his strong hands and the smell of tobacco on his skin he was summer in every sense my vacation from my own self I watched him and admired the talent of his drummer hands I often think of him when I am alone when I need warmth when I’m in a bodega and I see Marlboro Golds I know he thinks of me I know he hurts when he thinks of me of my troubled mind of the scars that wrap around all the delicate parts of me he’s traced every part of me with his lips forgiving me for the damage I had done to myself a beautiful soul so taken by the girl who doesn't have one his love wasn't made for someone like me.

Drink up baby, stay up all night With the things you could do, you won't but you might The potential you'll be that you'll never see The promises you'll only make Drink up with me now, forget all about The pressure of days, do what I say And I'll make you okay, drive them away The image is stuck in your head People you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still Drink up baby, look at the stars I'll kiss you again between the bars Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air Waiting to finally be caught Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine Keep you apart, deep in my heart Separate from the rest but I like you the best Keep the things you forgot People you've been before That you don't want around anymore That push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still

"Love of mine Someday you will die But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark No blinding light Or tunnels, to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark" Beautiful Gabriella. Happy to have her in my life 💕 @hexesandhoney

Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face The kind you'd find on someone I could save If they don't put me away Well, it'll be a miracle Do you believe you're missin' out That everything good is happening somewhere else? But with nobody in your bed The night's hard to get through And I will die all alone And when I arrive I won't know anyone Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again So what did you do those three days you were dead? 'cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend. Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die, I'm a little bit scared of what comes after Do I get the gold chariot? Do I float through the ceiling? Do I divide and fall apart? 'cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark And the ship went down in sight of land And at the gates, does Thomas ask to see my hands? I know you're coming in the night like a thief But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique I know you think that I'm someone you can trust But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up (everyone now) So do you think that we could work out a sign So I'll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try I know you're coming for the people like me We all got wood and nails And tongue-tied at hate factories We all got wood and nails And tongue-tied at hate factories We all got wood and nails And we sleep inside of this machine
