you will fly away again
you will
straight into the heart of the sun
straight into the heart of everyone
you will break my heart against
my will
I will be dead out of a gun
I will be dead out of everyone

fly, fly away when you say you won't
you follow when you swear you just don't
I can't rule you no more

we'll buy you another sun
we'll buy you another sun to love
we'll buy you another sun

we'll buy you another sun
go find you another sun to gun down
go find you
another sun

you don't want me anymore
you don't love me anymore
no more

(uli john roth solo)

you will fly away again you will
you will fly away again you will
bleed into the heart of the sun
you will break my heart against my will
you will break my heart against my will
love bleeding out of your gun

    This performance on If All Goes Wrong had me completely floored. My favorite band for quite a few years now, and I knew Corgan's talent was incredible, but I didnt realize he was God of music.

    Amazing song. I think it's about someone trying to reason with a former lover.

    Here are the complete lyrics:

    You will fly away again, you will Straight into the heart of the sun Straight into the heart of everyone

    You will break my heart against my will I'll be dead of your gun I'll be dead of everyone

    You fly away when you say that you won't You laugh alone when you swear you just don't I can't rule you no more

    Go buy you another son Go find you another son to love Go buy you another son

    Go find you another son Go buy you another son to gun down Go find you another son

    You don't want me anymore You don't need me anymore No more

    You will fly away again, you will You will fly away again, you will Straight into the hearts of the sun You will break my heart against my will You will break my heart against my will I'll be dead of your gun

    Fifty two crows in a field of love I've got fifty two crows in the field of love Well, one crow turns to the other crow and says I know we got bad luck, but look at him flying over there Rather be a crow

    Fifty two ladies in a field of love Fifty two maidens in a field of love Well, one girl turns to the other girl and says Hey, have you seen my love anywhere It's been so long since he was home Boo-hoo

    Two white horses unloved Two white horses unbound Come take me to my burying grounds We're going to take my grave with silver spades And everyone will wave And we'll all pretend we're on TV All my dreams are on TV All my dreams are on TV The constitution will not be televised And everybody sleep well

    We ain't going anywhere We ain't going anywhere We ain't going anywhere We ain't going anywhere I don't even, even care We ain't going anywhere I don't even, even care We ain't going anywhere anymore

    I don't wanna, wanna die I don't wanna, wanna die I don't wanna, wanna die I don't wanna, wanna die I don't wanna, wanna die I don't wanna, wanna die I don't wanna, wanna die I don't wanna, wanna die ever again

    The scary part Again, this is the scary part Scary part

    there still isnt a proper recording out there and so the lyrics are in flux. (personally, i think "Gossamer" is the best song of the last decade."

    quick example-i have heard: we'll buy you another sun we'll buy you another sun to love we'll buy you another sun

    as: Go find you another son Go buy you another son to gun down Go find you another son

    and also as: Go find you another son Go buy you another son to kill Go find you another son

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
