Ten Women Lyrics
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
Between you and me
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
The nightmare and the fantasy
Ten women
The thrill and the shame
Ten women
I miss you the same
While you're kissing the ring
Of some good timing king
Ten women
A fool I have made
Two faces (two faces)
Two faces
Two faces you have
Two faces (two faces)
Two faces
Keep one in your bag
Two faces
From which you can choose
Two faces
And neither are you
Well I'm biding my time
Like a cellar of wine
With two faces
You'll never be true
One witness (one witness)
One witness
Is all that I need
One witness (one witness)
One witness
Just someone to see
One witness
To all that's been done
One witness
Whose eyes will not run
Just someone to shout
In this big, empty house
One witness
To mourn for our love
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
Between you and me
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
The glory and the tragedy
Ten women
To trust and betray
Ten women
I want you the same
It will be like it's been
If you come home again
With ten women
Who have all gone away
Ten women
Between you and me
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
The nightmare and the fantasy
Ten women
The thrill and the shame
Ten women
I miss you the same
While you're kissing the ring
Of some good timing king
Ten women
A fool I have made
Two faces
Two faces you have
Two faces (two faces)
Two faces
Keep one in your bag
Two faces
From which you can choose
Two faces
And neither are you
Well I'm biding my time
Like a cellar of wine
With two faces
You'll never be true
One witness
Is all that I need
One witness (one witness)
One witness
Just someone to see
One witness
To all that's been done
One witness
Whose eyes will not run
Just someone to shout
In this big, empty house
One witness
To mourn for our love
Ten women
Between you and me
Ten women (ten women)
Ten women
The glory and the tragedy
Ten women
To trust and betray
Ten women
I want you the same
It will be like it's been
If you come home again
With ten women
Who have all gone away

i feel like its pretty obvious its about him (or anyone) being with ten women since her, but it doesnt matter because he wants to be with her.
the one in your bag being makeup
i cant find a good version of this anywhere (this, or the kodachrome cover) so im just gonna have to wait til i see him on the 9th to hear if he plays them T_T
lol sorry tyyger.. you never know on here if people are serious or not... i think this song is about vanilla yoghurt
KateLaurens on the money.. conor cant help but be in love with the first woman, but he went out and had his fun and still loves that one woman.....
I think this is about a relationship gone bad to the point she is never herself around him and so he feels like he's with ten women and maybe he himself has two faces but he wants this all to end and doesn't really know how, he wants a witness somebody other than him to see all these sides of her and make her realize what she's doing to him, and wishing that she would just come home alone without all these other sides of herself and be the woman he loved.
this is about CHEATING. ten women came between Conor and whomever he was dedicted to.
"Ten women (ten women) Ten women Between you and me Ten women (ten women) Ten women The nightmare and the fantasy Ten women The thrill and the shame Ten women I miss you the same While you're kissing the ring Of some good timing king Ten women A fool I have made"
being with ten women was a nightmare because he never thought he could hurt the person he loved like that but at the same time it was a fantasy because he was.. ya know, gettin it on. it was thrilling but he feels ashamed of himself for doing that to his girlfriend (maybe maria???) but he says he misses her just the same. i dunno what the good timing king means but hes made a fool of himself because he lost his girl because of these ten women.
"Two faces (two faces) Two faces Two faces you have Two faces (two faces) Two faces Keep one in your bag Two faces From which you can choose Two faces And neither are you Well I'm biding my time Like a cellar of wine With two faces You'll never be true"
His girlfriend is two-faced because maybe she has cheated on Conor as well?? And he's waiting for her to change because at this point.. she'll never be true.
"One witness (one witness) One witness Is all that I need One witness (one witness) One witness Just someone to see One witness To all that's been done One witness Whose eyes will not run Just someone to shout In this big, empty house One witness To mourn for our love"
All he needs is one person to see what has happened to said relationship and mourn for whats been lost
"Ten women (ten women) Ten women Between you and me Ten women (ten women) Ten women The glory and the tragedy Ten women To trust and betray Ten women I want you the same It will be like it's been If you come home again With ten women Who have all gone away"
the last verse says it all, he still wants her and he's telling her if you come home, we can be like we were again, the ten women have all gone away, they meant nothing to me!
Before he played this, he said, "This song is about having a wandering eye ... and a wandering heart."
umm i doubt its about a sex party.. and the second verse i think is wrong a bit.. i think that ... Two faces Keep one in your back Two faces From which you can choose Two faces
should be...
Two faces Keep one in your BAG Two faces From which you can choose Two faces
i was just joking but thanks for telling me it's bag 'cause i couldn't really hear which one he was saying but now it makes sense
Anyone know where this song can be downloaded or bought? Is it on any b-sides by any chance?
