MP3 av Magnetic Fields: Too Drunk To Dream

[Skilpadda]

Jeg har gått og nynnet på denne sangen de siste dagene, den henger godt fast i hjernebarken, og så oppdaget jeg tilfeldigvis at den ligger ute til nedlasting, så da ville jeg anbefale den. "Downcast lyrics and upbeat swing" så jeg i en omtale - det har den definitivt.

Man kan laste den ned på denne siden, og her er teksten:


Sober - life is a prison
shitfaced - it is a blessing
Sober - nobody wants you
shitfaced - they're all undressing
Sober - it's ever darker
shitfaced - the moon is nearer
Sober - you're old and ugly
shitfaced - who needs a mirror?
Sober - you're a Cro-Magnon
shitfaced - you're very clever
Sober - you never should be
shitfaced - now and forever

I gotta get too drunk to dream
'cause dreaming only makes me blue
I gotta get too drunk to dream
because I only dream of you
I gotta get too pissed to miss you
or I'll never get to sleep
I gotta drink wine apt to pine for you
and God knows that ain't cheap

I know you think I'm insane
I know it's not appealing
But 'till I'm feeling no pain
guess what I'll be feeling?

I gotta get too drunk to dream
'cause dreaming only makes me blue
I gotta get too drunk to dream
because I only dream of you
I gotta get too fried to cry
or I'll be crying all night long
I gotta get too high to sigh
oh my God, where did I go wrong?

So why do I get plastered?
And why am I so lonely?
It's you, you heartless bastard,
you're my one and only

I gotta get too drunk to dream
'cause dreaming only makes me blue
I gotta get too drunk to dream
because I only dream of you
I gotta get too pissed to miss you
or I'll never get to sleep
I gotta drink apt to pine for you
and God knows that ain't cheap
and God knows that ain't cheap ...
