Only lover


You never smoke a cigarette when you are doing something
Only when you are half doing it
You are a teenage runt with a lot of cream, Sparky
Gone floating down a river to Madrid
And a car pull in softly
Waiting for the footsteps
How has she followed me here
The tent I went to wasn't mine
It was a cantaloupe's
Cantaloupes are so good to eat
When you dream of your Johnny in a shower
Gone floatin' down a river to Madrid
I love you my lady
I love you like I do
Why you make me so blue
A-kill me, kill me, kill me
Kill me, kill me
I think I'm a goner
When I see one of your shoes
Gone floatin' down a river to Madrid
You're the reason I live
You're the cause of my death
I love what I can't help
You took my success
Will you take my failure
After Arnie took a pill from the bottom
He wasn't ne'er the same
You ought to be gone floatin' down a river to Madrid
I hear you bought a new dress
A red the color of your kiss
Darlin' are you with me now
A-kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Ohhh it's my time to die
When I think of your black lips
Gone floatin' down a river to Madrid
Found a painted pony in your breast
Can I tell you the rest
I love you goddess
Listen mister can you be my monkey
Feel my pulse take a stab at my arm
I wasn't meant to have a garden
Gone floatin' down a river to Madrid
Jezebel, you're my favorite
In your country I roam
Listen to me now, lady
Worst I had to tell you was I followed you here
First you made me promise that I wouldn't leave
Then I found my freedom
Gone floatin' down a river to Madrid
Lost some lovely on the way
You gave them back I heard you say
You're my only lover
Like a kangaroo I'm only half doing what I do
Jesus stares at me from the wall
And I think I like your bosom
Aw gone floatin' down a river to Madrid
Ahh, you hear my music
Oh, lord I think it's hard to tell
How she followed me here

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Jandek, real name Sterling Richard Smith, is an American musical artist born in Houston, Texas, in 1948. His career, which began in the 1970s, is characterized by relentless and independent production: over 120 albums released between 1978 and today, sold primarily through direct channels to the public. His musical style is a kaleidoscope of influences, often described as atonal and idiosyncratic. Jandek blends elements of singer-songwriter, folk, blues, lo-fi, post rock and outsider music, creating a unique and unrepeatable sonic universe. His identity remains shrouded in mystery: he rarely gives interviews and appears in public with his face covered by a mask. Among his most representative songs are "The Ballad of the Broken Heart", "Come On Home" and "I'm Not Your Man".
