Lyrics
Hey, Chris
Chris
Is that, is that as, is that as low as you can phase it?
Down, I mean
(The band you mean?)
Yeah
(The band you mean?)
Yeah, the band
(I have to record it at a low level, you know?)
Yeah, but I'm talking about, like, phasing in the verse and then bringing it up in the chorus
(I can do that, yeah)
(Fading you mean, yeah, I can do that)
No not fading, phasing
Like according to, you know, the temperature of the lyric, right?
Alright
When you thought I was a stranger
When you looked upon me when I came back
But to take you from disaster
I cannot master the four winds in your shack
In the roamin', in the gloamin'
You have brought and set before me
And I think that it's an omen
I am not what so many people see
And you shined your glory all around
Do not disguise what you did
I asked you for half a pound and you said
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
And the child held a ball in the garden
Of the old queen
And you kissed the lips and heart, another stranger
You know what I mean
And you walked on the streets so lonely
In your own childish way
And you thought that you would only
Do it for today
And you shined your glory all around
Do not disguise what we did
I asked you to come around and you said
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Yeah, Joe stood outside the club and
The rain came down on his head and he got soakin' wet
And he said to me, "Go for yourself"
I said "Sure, Joe, I ain't conquered yet"
And I walked away from the backstreets
With my head hung down and softly started to cry
So we just turned on outside of the bus shelter
And I waved my hands in the air, goodbye, goodbye
And I shined my glory all around
Do not disguise what I did
They all asked me to stay underground but I said
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, kid
Never train 'em
You gotta
Go see Joe Harper, Saturday morning, yeah
Saturday morning
Saturday morning
Saturday early morning
You gotta
You gotta go see Joe Harper
Early Saturday morning
Oh, darling
In the rain, in the rain, in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
In the rain, in the rain
In the rain, in the rain, in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
In the rain, in the rain, in the rain, in the rain, rain
Rain, rain
Good rain
Yeah, yeah
Rain, oh, rain
Oh, in the rain
