Nick Drake - Been smoking too long
Tekst :
Well I wake up in the morning
Look at my clock
It s way past noon time
Now I m late for work.
Tell me, tell me
What have I done wrong?
Ain t nothing go right with me
Must be I ve been smoking too long.
Well I go to find me some breakfast
But I ain t got no food
Take me a shower
But the water don t feel no good.
Tell me...
I ve got opium in my chimney
No other life to choose
Nightmare made of hash dreams.
Got the devil in my shoes
Tell me...
Well when I m smoking
Put my worries on a shelf
Don t think about nothin
Try not to see myself.
Tell me...
Well in this blues I m singin
There s a lesson to be learned
Don t go around smokin
Unless you want to get burned.
Tell me...
Inne utwory
Rider on the wheel The thoughts of Mary Jane Here come the blues Day is done Harvest sreed Pink moon Stuck on you My sugar so sweet Blossom friend Bird flew by Strange meeting II Finger lakes Tired of pretending Blues run the game Which will Cocaine blues Northern sky Fruit tree Losowe utwory
Well it s one thing to fall in love
But another to make it last
I thought that we were just begining
And now you say we re in the past
Oh, look me in the eye
And tell me we are really through
You know it s one...
Do you breathe the name of your saviour in your hour of need
And taste the blame if the flavour should remind you of greed
Of implication, insinuation and ill will, till you cannot lie still
In all this turmoil before it cave and foil, come closing in for a kill
Come feed the...
The nickels you pick up
On the long dirty road
On your way to that castle in your mind
Won t carry much weight
When the voice in your soul
Becomes louder then you
What if the castle is burning
When you finally...
Yeah decency, she done left our home
On her rollerskates, so I guess she s pretty far gone
Left me with my greed, to answer for my own
For how could a deadened sense tell right from wrong
So thanks for nothing I ain t feeling the magic
Kinda comic how I got tragic
Mirror mirror...
Look how the man them sit up pon the sidewalk
A set out them business
The woman them, some with little children,
See how they spread out
And it s the start of another day
That s how they work to get their pay
