Lady Lyrics
I was daily growing
Dressed in red from head to toe
You were all the thought I was knowing
And the sun gave shine, no care the season
While I learned my one, two, three's and
You fell in to teach me treason
And now I spend my each day busy
Jumping on the monkey show
Jumping on the monkey show
Searching for a face I know
And I just walk for hours down the red-brick march of market street
Of market street
I spend my each days in repeat
And lady, she's all right with me
Done borrowed all my empathy
Now you know she got the best of me
'Cause she's not lying next to me
And all things fine, sweet day beginning
I got up and fell right in
Climbed up to where you was living
And you stood in the backdoor yawning
And I caught where you turns me on
You're the reason I wake each morning
And sunshine plays the puddles through the mornings evenings afternoons
Mornings evenings afternoons
I count my thoughts with coffee-spoons
And something reeks of heave 'neath the highway where the hobos sleep
Where the hobos sleep
And laugh about the pains I keep
And lady, she's a friend of mine
'Cause I know how to take my time
But I can't say that without lyin'
So I'll try not to try next time
Dressed in red from head to toe
You were all the thought I was knowing
While I learned my one, two, three's and
You fell in to teach me treason
Jumping on the monkey show
Jumping on the monkey show
Searching for a face I know
Of market street
I spend my each days in repeat
Done borrowed all my empathy
Now you know she got the best of me
'Cause she's not lying next to me
I got up and fell right in
Climbed up to where you was living
And I caught where you turns me on
Mornings evenings afternoons
I count my thoughts with coffee-spoons
Where the hobos sleep
And laugh about the pains I keep
'Cause I know how to take my time
But I can't say that without lyin'
So I'll try not to try next time

I fucking love it.
I fucking love it too.
As do I. I love the bass in this song.
skipped a verse...
and i ain’t got no one to bear my burden, though i could pay with sips of wine. old men like me just tuck their shirts in. too busy runnin’ out, though we do our best to do without, still too busy runnin’ out of time. and lady i can’t take no rest, with all this weight across my chest. yesterday i love the best, done borrowed all my happiness.
I was daily growing Dressed in red from head to toe You were all the thought I was knowing
And the sun gave shine, no care the season While I learned my one, two, three's and You fell in to teach me treason
seems like this part is about his mother.
I'm not quite sure what the rest of the song is about. Either about his Oedipus-complex, or just about his mother.
i love the phrase 'i ain't got no one to bear my burden, though i could pay with sips of wine'
"And you stood in the backdoor yawning And I caught where you turns me on"
sounds more like
"And you stood in the backdoor yawning In that cruel way that leads me on"
I'm not too sure if this song was meant to be cruel anyway. In my opinion, the singer was simply telling stories. This is the reason why he is so passionnate in singing them. No one is implied. No animal were hurt in the making of the film. The girl who once dressed in red could have also been called a zombie. She could have been depicted wearing a shirt covered with blood although I doubt he could have fallen in love with the second one or with any types of artefacts.
