Darklands lyrics

I can see that you and me
Live our lives in the pouring rain
And the raindrops beat out of time to our refrain

And you and me will win you see
People die in their living-rooms
But they do not need this God Almighty gloom

There’s something warm about the rain
There’s something warm
There’s something warm
There’s something warm in eberything

hey honey what you trying to say
as i stand here
don't you walk away
and the world comes tumbling down
hand in hand in a violent life
making love on the edge of a knife
and the world comes tumbling down
and it's hard
for me to say
and it's hard
for me to stay
i'm going down
to be by myself
i'm going back
for the good of my health
and there's one thing
i couldnt do

sung by Jim

when she walks towards me
i feel something
crawl beneath my skin
and all the electric stars are shining
beneath my skin and
cherry takes me to the place above
with barbed wire kisses and her love
we're going where the oceans blue
kick the dust and you can come too
in the light of all my darkest mornings
things fall into place
and all the soft orange coloured dawnings

I'm going to the darklands
to talk in rhyme with my chaotic soul
as sure as life means nothing
and all things end in nothing
and heaven i think is too close to hell

i wanna move, i wanna go
oh, i wanna go
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo
doo-doo-doo

i, something won't let me
go to the place where the darklands are
and i awake from dreams

sung by Jim

deep one perfect morning
as the sun is heading up
into the sky
and i'm sitting here warming
to the coldness of the things
that meet my eye
something in me's stirring
and the moon and all the stars
fail to comply
and my thoughts are turning backwards
and i'm picking at the pieces
of a world that keeps turning
the screws into my mind
something in me's chilling

sung by Jim

sometimes i can fake a smile
but still the world looks down on me
twenty five years of growing old
it just hangs infront of me
i can't see or understand why
pushing up can drag me down
take my time in everything
it breaks me up if i cant sing
i cant see
i cant touch
sometimes in the summer sunshine
the sky falls down on me
always in the dead of darkdays

Gimme hell gimme hell gimme hell
She said as she fell
Tongue tied tongue tied tongue tied
She could never lie
So come on little sugar
Let me get your soul
Dig deep crazy like a success show
She can't bawl and she can't shout
She can't bawl and fuck it out
Gimme hell she gives me hell
I'm fucking up anyway
Well I've been good
And I've been mean
And I've been looking for a Coke machine
So come on

sung by Jim

Step back and watch the sweet thing
breaking everything she sees
she can take my darkest feeling
tear it up till i'm on me knees
plug into her electric cool
where things bend and break
and shake to the rule
talking fast couldn't tell me something
i would shed my skin for you
talking fast on the edge of nothing
i would break my back for you
don't know why, don't know why

sung by William

nine million rainy days
have swept across my eyes
thinking of you
and this room becomes a shrine
thinking of you
and the way you are
sends the shivers to my head
you're going to fall
you're going to fall down dead
as far as i can tell
i'm being dragged from here to hell
and all my time in hell
is spent with you
i have ached for you
i have nothing left to give

JESUS AND MARY CHAIN
Sidewalking
Chilled to the bone and five miles from home
I'm messing in the dark and feeling all alone
I got ice in my fire got heat in my wire
Inject a little heat I'm burning up the tyres
Sidewalking
Talking like I'm on and I'm the only one
I'm making like I'm done and staring like a gun
And I got to get a car
And I got to get a ride
Gotta get a car
Got Jesus on my side
