This one was really hard to transcribe because it's sung really high and the quality of the recording is only so-so. There are a couple of lines I couldn't figure out. LAY ME DOWN Lay me down with the childrem Lay me down for I'm tired and I'm weary And it's been so long since last I slept - weak The Japanese carpet and my feather bed's too big The shower's too wide and the hands of your memory leave me cold Now you say you're leaving me That's fine if you do It's not the leaving that hurts It's remembering all the kisses, the sweet smiles, the sunsets All the times we made love If only you were dead then I'd know you were gone You were the good one who said time meant nothing Now you're gone - time's all I have left [The next line is completely unintelligible. It MIGHT be "With some guy's tongue making me feel fettered and abandoned" or it could be something completely different!] His cold hands on my thigh And I wake up the next morning and I'm hurting and I know that you're gone 'Cause that said he would teach you how to cry [?] Lay me down with the children Lay me down for I'm tired and weary But it's been so long since I slept - weak And it has been so long ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2000 23:28:19 EDT From: W1GGY2@aol.com Subject: * Lyrics to DAMN THE DAISIES As promised, here is the second of 2 transcriptions of songs from the Innerchange era (circa 1994) that have not been circulated before, as far as I can tell. This one is really pretty disturbing, so be warned.... DAMN THE DAISIES I go to the table Your pictures are on the front I looked so much younger then Somehow so much different I look in the mirror I want to spit on my face I hate these things I've become I don't deserve to take up this space That I live in Dark rings around my eyes Bruises on my bones I'm tired of these lies that drip from my mouth Like habitual beads from a broken string of once was love I go to the drawer I pull out the gun In my hands it's heavy and cold It feels like something I was damned to hold Damn you man and your sweet kisses Damn your hairs in the sink Damn the pool and all the trash it collected The leaves only look like blonds and brunettes to me Damn my suspicion and damn my sight Damn you and your twisted ways Damn my courage for being gone so much Damn love because it stayed I lift the gun to my face I'm gonna shoot myself in the eyes The daisies are on the table That you gave me yesterday But yesterday I was willing to compromise I hear the key and you open the door Billy runs to greet you Billy won't hurt anymore The sun shines in the window Where the pictures and the daisies lay This chaos can't continue I never liked daisies anyway I hear your footsteps Coming down the stairs You reach the bottom with an apology in your hand I'm standing there Funny you have that same look in your eyes As all those times I had in mine I pull the trigger The daisies apologize for the last time Billy runs downstairs I am numb I call the police Tell them what I've done I go to the table where the pictures and the daisies lay I looked so much younger then Somehow so much different The sun shines through the window Where the pictures and the daisies lay Where the daisies lay Where the daisies lay Oh well Never liked daisies anyway ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 20:38:04 PDT From: "Amy Emerman" Subject: * NJC: EDA Gig Alert (New York City) Hi, I wanted to let you all know that I got my first "real" gig ever, and for that matter, my first gig ever since I was a little girl singing with my parents in their singing group...and all of you are welcome to come and cheer me on. It's at C-NOTE in the Village on May 26th, 2000, at 9pm. C-Note is on 10th Street and Avenue C. I am going to do some originals and some covers, just me and the guitar. Jewel has inspired me, among a lot of other people who have inspired me, to get out their and do my thing. So, that's exactly what I'm tryin' to do...and any of you who live in the area are more than welcome to drop by. Your support would be greatly appreciated, and I think you'll like the music...AMY :-) ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V5 #125 ***************************
