ONLY LOVERS (LEFT ALIVE) 2.54. Theme: A dream that hate becomes…hated. “From others pain you joy’s maintained, your shiny world so entertained. Floating in you bubble of dissentery with your aborigine skull ashtray”

lyrics

See you kill the lions and the tigers and the bears.
See you hang the tigers head above your big bed.
You laughed as you told the tales,
Your that sort of misery mail... well I have a dream - Only lovers left alive, only lovers left alive...

See you wave your money in the poor man's face.
See you kick kick the beggar man right in his face.
You walk with your head held high
You're a devil in the clear blue sky... well I have a dream - Only lovers left alive, only lovers left alive...

From others pain your joy's maintained, your shiny world it's so entertained.
Floating in your bubble of disentery, with your aborigine skull ashtray........... your joy is other peoples misery.

You aint the guy that I want to see, you live off hate hypocrisy, you aint the guy of love in your mirror, cant you see the stupid in the mirror?

I have a dream, only lovers left alive...

Cracking stuff as usual from Jd and a good Christmas present for all of us. Probing and decisive lyrical content all throughout the record, just as you would expect. Gavin Hellyer

I had a lot of trouble picking a favourite track and it might change tomorrow and then the day after etc...etc...etc...Great album with mainly acoustic song structures and, as usual with Jd, some very fine and highly aware lyrics, general social observations and commensurate commentaries.

At the moment "I am Grimaldi" is my favourite track, although that could change. A stupendous album. "I can't seem to stop this melancholy' What it means to me can only be expressed by the phrase" Diddy Wah Diddy" Séamus Duggan
