Stuck Lyrics
Shall we wade through the room for the street
Finally to meet
Ask me what I'm drinking
My friend Johnny, tugging on my sleeve
Asks if I wantta leave
And what I'm really thinking is
Why can't it be easy easy
Why don't you leave leave me leave me be
I can't see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying
Oh
Sitting here stuck I'm plastered to my seat
I think When you finally start speaking
I'll take a long stroll and walk down Washington Street
Half asleep on my feet
Half awake I found you
I'll go home alone, a sinking stone
A switched off telephone
I'll go on
Frozen le
Fallen down factory
I still see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying
Finally to meet
Ask me what I'm drinking
My friend Johnny, tugging on my sleeve
Asks if I wantta leave
And what I'm really thinking is
Why can't it be easy easy
Why don't you leave leave me leave me be
I can't see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying
Oh
Sitting here stuck I'm plastered to my seat
I think When you finally start speaking
I'll take a long stroll and walk down Washington Street
Half asleep on my feet
Half awake I found you
I'll go home alone, a sinking stone
A switched off telephone
I'll go on
Frozen le
Fallen down factory
I still see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying

This song is beautiful.....but the lyrics here are all wrong here. Its....
You shove your way through the room from the street and finally to me and ask me what I'm drinking. My friend Johnny tuggin on my sleeve, asks if I want to leave but what Im really thinking is
Why cant it be easy easy Why dont you leave, leave me, leave me be
I can see you swaying but I cant hear what you're saying
Im sitting here stuck and plastered to my seat, I think up a reason to leave when you finally stop speaking. Take a long slow walk down washington street, half asleep on my feet, but half awake if Im dreaming I go home alone, a sinking stone, a switched off telephone Ill go on and be free, a frozen breeze, a fallen down factory
But I can see you swaying, but I cant hear what youre saying
I just lost the plot, got a little caught, then a little knot I just hit a wall, had a little fall, felt a swinging recking ball and why should that be...why dont you tell me, i guess you'll tell me
wrecking ...not recking.
Just discovered this great album a couple of days ago... Got lured in by "Tell Yer Mama" and realized to my delight that the rest of the album is just as good.
This song is a beautiful, poignant description of what it feels like to fall in love (or back in love) with someone you know will be trouble - at the moment it happens. Not just the lyrics but the melody as well. Makes me want to go out there and get my heart broken by someone ;)
