Peoples Parties — текст песни (Jeff Buckley)

(j.mitchell)

Originally performed by joni mitchell. jeff performed it live at sin-, new york, late in the night on december 31 1995.

All the people at this party

Theyve got a lot of style

Theyve got stamps of many countries

Theyve got passport smiles

Some are friendly

Some are cutting

Some are watching it from the wings

Some are standing in the centre

Giving to get something



Photo beauty gets attention

Then her eye paints running down

Shes got a rose in her teeth

And a lampshade crown

One minute shes so happy

Then shes crying on someones knee

Saying laughing and crying

You know its the same release



I told you when I met you

I was crazy

Cry for us all beauty

Cry for eddie in the corner

Thinking hes nobody

And jack behind his joker

And stone-cold grace behind her fan

And me in my frightened silence

Thinking I dont understand



I feel like Im sleeping

Can you wake me

You seem to have a broader sensibility

Im just living on nerves and feelings

With a weak and a lazy mind

And coming to peoples parties

Fumbling deaf dumb and blind



I wish I had more sense of humor

Keeping the sadness at bay

Throwing the lightness on these things

Laughing it all away

Laughing it all away

Laughing it all away
