Bad Winter Lyrics
Can you
Give me a minute here
I promise
It won't be so bad
I just wanted you to know
You left me in the cold
Just so you know
Just so you know
You're guilty
Red guilty
I want you to confess
Cry about the mess you made
To make another mess
I'll call up Doug to pick me up
On Union Square west
You tell me how damn mean I am
Well, I learned it from the best, babe
"What did you do?"
Hold it against me
Not me against you
You can write it down on paper
You can speak it till you're blue
Sifting through your sources
Quoting moments of the truth
Fragments of my wrist watch
Keeping time away from you
Is the only time worth telling
So I can ask my youth:
"What did you do?"
We walked and wept and wondered who would save us
Was it you or me who talked of being dangerous
When we walked with wondrous woe of being famous
Was it you or me who spoke of being saviors
It doesn't matter to me
What will be, will be
All I wanted
Was one shining moment
One vote for the apocalypse
Two tickets out to sea
It doesn't matter to me
Everyone else seems to see
All I needed
Was one perfect smile
One kiss on the cheek
And for you to remember me
Give me a minute here
I promise
It won't be so bad
I just wanted you to know
You left me in the cold
Just so you know
Just so you know
Red guilty
I want you to confess
Cry about the mess you made
To make another mess
I'll call up Doug to pick me up
On Union Square west
You tell me how damn mean I am
Well, I learned it from the best, babe
Not me against you
You can write it down on paper
You can speak it till you're blue
Sifting through your sources
Quoting moments of the truth
Keeping time away from you
Is the only time worth telling
So I can ask my youth:
Was it you or me who talked of being dangerous
When we walked with wondrous woe of being famous
Was it you or me who spoke of being saviors
What will be, will be
Was one shining moment
One vote for the apocalypse
Two tickets out to sea
Everyone else seems to see
Was one perfect smile
One kiss on the cheek
And for you to remember me

I love this part of the song and the lyrics Jerry sings at the same time.
Is it just me or does this cd have a noticeable modest mouse influence to it?
This line makes me think of MM "Two tickets out to sea" and the feel of the cd
very tom waits like with some modest mouse, but clearly it's still trophy scars distinct style.
Love it.
I love this part as well. There is a grammatical term for starting three words with the same sound.[it escapes me] But it's seems to me that the moment that verse kicks in the whole song gets more poetic and emotive. Sometimes I doubt the bands direction but moments like that let me know that jerry is still writing creative lyrics.

This is simply amazing. Jerry never fails to impress.
can someone explain to me what this means:

Well if I had to guess... He is obviously talking with someone he hasn't talked to in a while and he is trying to keep her there(Keeping time away from you), keep her talking about the the past (Is the only time worth telling So I can ask my youth).
