The gentle souls


I cut the rope and threw her out
Out on the street like a garbage sack
And every day she's calling me up
I don't see why she'd wanna come back

Knocking on her best friend's door
"Is it okay if I crash here?"

She never had a fighting chance
Guess the hearts of former holds
'Cause she didn't know what she'd gotten into
She belongs with the gentle souls

There was a time I can't recall
When I believed everything I said
And I kept playing before it all built up
The petty lies that she was fed

Looking for a stranger, still
I don't know who I should marry

She never had a fighting chance
I guess the hearts of former holds
'Cause she didn't know what she'd gotten into
She belongs with the gentle souls

I cut the rope and threw her out
And changed the lock on my front door
She tried her key and it didn't work
I don't know why she's back for more

Knocking on her best friend's door
"Is it okay if I crash here?"

She never had a fighting chance
I guess the hearts of former holds
'Cause she didn't know what she'd gotten into
Now she belongs with the gentle souls

Now she belongs with the gentle souls
She never had a fighting chance

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Eels are an alternative rock band formed in 1995 by musician and singer-songwriter Mark Oliver Everett (also known as Man Called E, Mr. E, or simply E; son of famed physicist Hugh Everett III). Everett formed the Eels with drummer Butch Norton and bassist Tommy Walter (known also by the stage name Abandoned Pools) when his solo career stalled. The band quickly gained fame with the release of their debut album *Beautiful Freak* in 1996, when a track from the album, "Beloved Monster", was used in the film *Shrek*. However, their second album, *Electro-Shock Blues*, is considered the Eels' magnum opus. Written during a time of great personal tragedy for Everett (his sister committed suicide and his mother had terminal lung cancer), the album explores themes of grief, loss, and hope with a rare emotional depth. The Eels have released six studio albums, the most recent being *Blinking Lights and Other Revelations* in 2005. This album is a personal journey into Everett's spirituality and sanity, and it was critically acclaimed but not commercially successful. Some of the Eels' most representative songs include "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues", "Novocaine for the Soul", "Souljacker Part II", and "Climbing to the Moon".
